I just went out to OK4WD and had them do my lift, rims, tires and picked up a procal. They did an excellent job with all of the work everything was finished in 1 day with zero issues.

I went up there one weekday afternoon and talked to them about what I was looking for and they spent a half hour or so showing me my options and giving me the price out the door with labor. Real great group of guys and their labor price was pretty good, they also check and re torque everything for free after a few hundred miles.

Good luck.

Cool. Good to hear from someone who has dealt with them. Yeah thats what Im doing Friday. Want to tell them what I have been looking at and let them guide me in the right direction. Im narrowing down things but its all jumbled in my head. Just want to get the lift, wheels, tires, and any drivetrain things Ill need first. Then the engine, then the exterior(bumpers etc).

Ok I see alot of lift kits have the adjustable track bars as an option. Should I get these? Was told stock Rubicon ones are good and just get the bracket.

I believe that all the "remote reservoir" does is increase the volume of fluid in the shock. This reduces the risk of the fluid reaching a temperature where performance is affected negatively.

Dirtbikes have em usually.

Personally, I think it's overkill for a jeep. Most offroad is slow technical stuff, not high-speed desert racing. If you do the latter, then yeah, get the remote reservoirs

Thanks, I was waiting for someone to talk me out of getting them. I think that was one of those things I wanted and didn't really need. And I don't have alot of high speed desert racing up here in the NY/NJ area.

funny, i've done a search and have yet to find you make a single mention in your 34 posts as to what it was that made you so disgruntled. while i did see one post of yours regarding an upper shock mount bushing that was torn through, in my opinion, it was a simple case of you over tightening the mounting stud which is easy to do and a common mistake with newbies. aside from that, all your recent posts have been open ended slams against full traction and without any specific explanations why.

among other things, i have run the FT 3" ultimate, 4" ultimate and now the 6" long arm kit. as mentioned, i've had NO PROBLEMS with their kits and have found them to be one of the highest quality kits made today. likewise, due to their design, i have also found them to be kits that offer some of the most bind free flex around. if this is a kit that you are considering, i would highly recommend it.

It was actually one of the first kits I looked at and was considering. I just read a few posts online of people either having problems or bad customer service. Of course I take your word for it. And Ill add them to the list again. I was starting to scratch it off the list due to some of those posts. But then again thats a couple posts out of all of their lifts out there. Im actually starting to really confuse myself. I want 3.5 to 4.5 lift and Ill be running 35s for now. This is where Im at now. Im sure they are all great I am just comparing what I get in their full blown kits and price comparing. I have no problem with spending 3 to 5 grand I just want the most for the money. Im sure the final decision will be made when I go to OK 4WD to start getting this project rolling. Also I guess no one has any experience with ICON lifts?
1. Currie
2. Clayton
3. TeraFlex
4. and now Full Traction again

i have installed every single one of the kits that you have in your list and most i have installed several times. and, i say this with all sincerety, you really can't go wrong with any of them as they are all well made kits. if you have any specific questions about any of them, please let me know.

Mike De

Ok going out to OK4WD today to get some better ideas and hopefully come to some decisions. Anyone else want to chime in with any input on ANYTHING at all?
From what I gather most of the things I want are all pretty good companies. I need to stop my obsessing and just pull the trigger and get this ball rolling. But I did email Clayton last night and they are only about an hour away from me. Im in Rockland County NY at this time not Dirty Jersey. They can do my lift which I think is pretty cool to actually have the company do it.
