Wow, I just saw these in a magazine while at the bookstore. I think it's a step in the right direction. For a lot of guy's they want more lift for clearing larger tires but don't want to raise the CG too much. They seem to have tucked all the control arm's nicely between the frame rails. Not to mention have a reason for their belly up slidplate.
They have an Enduro (http://www.teraflx.com/pages/jeepbuilder.php?jeepID=18&prodID=188&subID=4), Max (http://www.teraflx.com/pages/jeepbuilder.php?jeepID=18&prodID=189&subID=4) and a Pro (http://www.teraflx.com/pages/jeepbuilder.php?jeepID=18&prodID=190&subID=4) kit.

I don't subscribe to any magazines currently. I've got a few friends who compete and one that runs a company that sells to Jeepers. I don't browse the web for everything new anymore since it just takes up too much time. So if you see something new and no one's talked about it post it and share the wealth.

Terra has been one of the front runners for long arm as well as short arm kits. They introduced these couple years ago, looking to eliminate the track bars front and rear.
In my review, its not any harder to install than any other LA kit. But to properly use the concept of the LA in a shortwheelbase vehicle, you do have to lengthen the wheelbase, get large tires (somewhere near 37's minimum) to get the maximum from the droop and lean of the Jeep, and learn how to drive differently due to the droop and lean. Its the next step up from the high lift short arm kits and large tires. But due to running 37, 39s, 42s, the stock axles won't due. So a lot of these top LA kits work with axle swaps.
In comparison, not to go higher than 4-5" for the short arm kits (depending on the arms, springs, track bars, etc), running no taller than 35-36". Though you can run larger than suggested tire size, there will be some complications.
