New Teraflex RT3 suspension lift kit

[GB3]

Has anyone checked out Teraflex’s new RT3 suspension system? I’m thinking of going this route for a lift ( 2023 four door Badlands with sass option).
Any thoughts opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

Just read it as I hadn't heard about this. On first glance I like there joints for lower end articulation. I don't know about the falcons. My biggest issue will be the lack of numbers for how much this limits travel to achieve lift without blowing CVS's. So, in short there is very little information here. There are a lot of ways to get onto 37's for this much, more, and less money.

Meh, they arn't bringing anything new to the platform, it's late to market with no measurable benefits over existing options and is not adjustable.

I'm not saying its not a good product, just saying its not being marketed well and doesn't bring enough to the table in comparison to other companies on the market like Ride and Bilstein right now. Or even Icon

I would agree with Valhalla and Popo Patty. They look nice, but all I found was this PR release, I didn't even see a product page on their site. How much are they? I've known a few Jeepers that have Terraflex and really like their setups, but ask yourself if you want to be the early adopter. 3.5" is a lot of lift, too. If you have to ask, you probably want something more proven (and more like 2-2.5").

Another odd thing is you can't search for any Bronco. Probably it's too new, but y'know.

If you want 37's and some lift, look at the ProComp VSRT's and do the JKS max clearance kit if you're rubbing.

If you want to spend some money, I'd look at Kings and go through Accutune or similar so you get what you're looking for and not just what you know. (Not knowing what you know.)

And then as Popo says, if you got bank, look at Ride (Accutune's brand). The Bilstein 8112's are supposedly only tuned for 35's, though, so beware.

First of all, TeraFlex has been around forever and even though this is a new platform for them, it doesn't make sense to say they aren't "proven". Sure they seem "late to the game" but realistically how long have the Ride or Bilstein kits been around? maybe 2-3 years? Can't be more than 5. TeraFlex has been making Jeep suspensions since the 90s (maybe longer, I don't want to google it.) The jeeps I've driven/ridden in with TeraFlex stuff on them are always the best ride. Why wouldn't they be able to make a Bronco kit that works great? And quite frankly there are some pretty good benefits to their Bronco kit: adjustable ball joint, their rubber bushings that have a sleeve inside so they don't bind up, adjustable rear arms and the rear track bar is super beefy. Not to mention the Falcon shocks.

Which leads to my second thing. I've had Falcon shocks on my Bronco for like 2 years and they have been absolutely great. I've done plenty of off-roading and had zero issues. I've put probably 30,000 miles on them and my CVs are just fine. Even with the factory arms it was great.

Third, and probably the most important, I just put this kit on (minus the shocks, which I already had) and my Bronco rides amazing. I thought it wouldn't be that much different, but I was wrong. I'm very happy with the TeraFlex RT3 system. 10/10.

Cool, trail pics? Articulation numbers? Any info is good info. Road manners? Stump jumping ability? How does it handle curbs? Speed bumps train tracks….

Are there any numbers on the Falcon springs and what type of weight they support for front and rear spring? Is your rig heavy, if so, how did the Falcon shocks handle the weight offroad?

Why is 3.5 inches of lift too much if they are correcting geometry. My understanding for most of these lifts it's the same. If they say lift is 2.5 inches they must mean for base model non sasquatch and for sasquatch it's more like 3.5 inches, or does it mean it is 3.5 inches above any trim base and sasquatch?

Shoot. Totally didn't see anyone had responded to me... Added a couple pics taken at United by Bronco in Sand Hollow earlier this year. I don't really know articulation numbers. I'm only on 35" tires and I was easily going over stuff that the Raptor in front of me was struggling with. Don't know if that gives you an idea of what it can and can't do. (That might have also been the Raptor's driver.)

As far as road manners and that kind of stuff. Its comfortable to drive. Similar to the stock experience on road. I tend not to slow down going over speed bumps, train tracks and dips. I have yet to meet a curb I can't drive over. The Falcons tend to work better the faster I go over stuff.
