1 year on the TeraFlex Joints.

I wouldn't worry about needing to use the warranty on those joints. They are no joke

I'm stuck between Serious's LA and B.Lee's 3-link set up. They both look fantastic and I'm sure my XJ would graciously accept either one.

I am on the exact same fence right now. I wanted to go 3 link but, the B. Lee's kit uses 7/8 heim joints and I feel like those are kinda small. The serious kit is legit, just not sure I want radius arms.

looking at B Lee's 3 link... it doesn't look bad. but it doesn't look particularly good either. Franks kit looks good. I'd feel more comfortable running his radius arm kit. people clap out 7/8 heims in steering all the time, not sure how long they would last in suspension. if you're going 3 link I'd want to build it myself. I never really saw a 3 link kit on the market that appealed to me for the cost... I'd take the serious long arms in this comparison. even though a 3 link performs noticeably better

this is coming from a guy who has ran both a 3 link and a radius arm kit

I do like Frank's kit, and it's even cheaper to boot. I don't do a whole lot of rock climbing and I'm more of an expedition/overland kinda guy who eventually will make it back to Tahoe so I can do the Rubicon since it's right behind my folks place in Minden.

That being said, I'm not too worried about the high ATS numbers and unloading that people seem to like to talk about in regards to radius arm set ups.

So many decisions

Once you get over 4" lifts you should always do long arms. Short arms throw off your pinion angles and will eat up u joints

They make adjustable upper and lower short arms for setting pinion angle

Mid/long arms are nice. I prefer a setup that uses a removable center crossmember, or brackets in front of.
If you already have a decent set of adjustable control arms. Maybe pickup a set of CAD brackets to compliment them, if you can't afford a good long arm setup.

You just answered all your own questions perfectly. Radius arms are right for you. And if you rarely see rocks, you'd probably even be ok on CAD brackets.
