phunkadelicXJ has them on her XJ.. she is on JU.
copy this URL into a another browser window... this is on her 4.5" lift with the Tera LA's. Her only complaint is they don't "look" beefy enuff.

I think she may have a few more complaints than just looks.....she prob. just dont bitch as much about them as me, cause i'm the one under the jeep doing damage control.
The bushings wear out quick. Daystar makes a replacement bushing that supposedly lasts longer, she'll be able to let you know in a year or so, I just replaced them not too long ago.
The other issue with Tera arms, is the hard poly bushings tend to overstress the control arm mmounts on the axle side. Both of paulas have been replaced with HD RE mounts along wqith Mike Green Fab LCA skids to prevent them from deforming and tweaking again.
And Yes they are VERY thin. I think one arm may be the slightest bit bowed, but they just look way to small for the application. I have thought about using some modified gen 2 TJ arms, but if that much work is going into the jeep, it will get JJ's and radius arms.
The final complaint is the short upper / long lower combo sucks. It causes TERRIBLE brake dive. Its not just on the Xj's, they have the same problem with the TJ kits. We are working on radius arming my brothers TJ using Tera arms modified to accept johnny joints, so hopefully if that works, hers will be next.
Cheap and decent way to get longarms under a jeep, however if she was doing it again, we'd have RE longarms, or RE drop brackets, or possibly a currie mid arm setup woudl be sweet. HTH.

after looking at the pics again, if it will hold up under paulas jeep, you'll be fine!
