Teraflex and Cherokees
I was interested in a Teraflex kit on the Quadratec site:
http://www.quadratec.com/products/76190_804.htm
Found a problem though - the image doesn't show UCA's. The description sates they're included, but the parts list doesn't mention them. So, I started a live chat and asked about them.
The live chat tech, John, said there are no UCA's and the axle is connected only with LCA's
I even asked specifically that there are only two connections made to the axle as far as control arms and both are lower, and he confirmed this. Well, WTH keeps the axle from wrapping???
SO....
I called Teraflex directly at 801.288.2585 and spoke to Sterling. He sounded nice until I mentioned Jeep XJ. Then he sounded annoyed. He said they quit making that kit "a while ago" and that I should call Quadratec and make sure they even have one. He went on to say they don't make long arm kits for XJ's and only make smaller stuff like coil boosts for them.
So, if I'm reading him right, they're not interested in XJ's anymore for serious kits.
Just an FYI

Totally JUNK I ran it back when I thought money was more important than ability.
The kits listed are all radias arm setups... If you want flex and performance look into Rock Krawler and BDS
