This may help if you're on the fence about the FT 3"Ultimate lift, with the HD coils. I bought it from Northridge4x4, and it's been nothing but awesome so far. It actually rides BETTER than stock, despite the "HD" coils. If you're in the market for a 3" lift and are considering FT's, you're not going to go wrong buying it.

I would imagine they are good enough to install bumpers, a winch and a tire carrier and not sag? I've seen enough posts on here to suggest that.
What I'm really on the fence about is whether I should just keep what I have from my OME lift (replacing the rear springs since I believe they are shot anyway) and get the full traction control arms (front, rear, upper and lower) in order to dial things in more or just go ahead and get the 3" Full Traction Ultimate Lift. For some reason the ride seems to be deteriorating as time goes on with this lift. I do have the full traction adjustable track bars installed but ever since I hit that dip in the road it has been getting worse (rougher). I don't think it helps that I have the rattling issue caused by the doors hitting the striker which makes the JK sound like a bucket of bolts but I do feel that it's not taking to small bumps on paved roads as well. I've been reading a lot of posts and it seems that the control arms would greatly improve the ride but a part of me just wants to do everything over and go with an all new lift. But then I'd be throwing away a lot of what I've already done. I could just order the 3" full traction lift along with the MForce shocks, and then order the control arms by themselves as opposed to ordering the ultimate lift since I already have the track bars. Going this route saves me about $160.
