I don't think you have anything to worry about till you go past 3.5/4" or 90/100mm. Then you might (or might not have problems as each lift is different) with the drive line and need to look at custom drive shafts like double cardons etc. I am running my WJ without a a-arm spacer at the moment with no probs but I am thinking of puting one in soon. In regards to the spacers I have (and I think that they are terra flex units but not positive) they have been fine with no issues. I am runing about a 3" lift and overall there is no problems with it. The only area that I would like to correct is the trackbar/panhard and replace with an adjustable to correct the axle alignment.

Wooders is currently working on getting some built for our grands!!
AFAIK he has done the CAD drawing and is just waiting for the engineering manufacturer to get them done.
