it'll allow 37's.
I know this but has anyone actually tried it? I'm wondering if you got the 3" ultimate and then put in 4" hd springs how well it would clear 37s.

Anyone tried upgrading?

Yeah I know, but I'm asking for the sake of conversation and also in case someone wants to do it.

I sent the email late today, so I probably won't hear anything until tomorrow.

I have a 3.5 RE lift (with 1 3/4 inch spacers in front) on my 08 unlimited,have been running 35's with no problems,put on 37 inch Toyo m/ts today and I have rubbing issues all over the place!the tires rub on my swaybar,on my front lower control arms, had to remove my Rubicon sliders to cut them so the Jeep would even sit on the ground,had to cut a small piece off the bottom of the pinch welded area in front of the rear tires,no fender issues thanks to the narrow Xenons,and we will see how bad it is wheelin at Payette Draw this weekend!I do have to say that I am still happy with the 5:13 gears,they are not as bad as I thought they would be with 37's.

You are better off calling them.
Never heard back on the email, so I called and the guy acted offended that I asked. Said if I wanted to go higher, just buy the complete kit.

I am upgrading my FT 4" LA kit to the 6" (coils and shocks) in the next few days. If I like how it drives, I will be selling my 4" coils and MForce shocks,...

PM me if you might be interested in this.

I love how my lift rides/drives, but with a new bumper and winch coming, I'm losing a little clearance. Otherwise, I have had MINIMAL issues with rubbing at all.

Let me know.

Mark
