Default Fulltraction Premimum kit vs Ultimate kit

The difference is adjustable lower control arm

the price difference is around 700 dollars

To all of you who have installed premium kit and do lot of highway driving, do you
feel the absolute need for lower control arm immediately.

I am asking this question is because my wife gives me pretty tight budget and
I want to get the best from limited amount of fund. If it is lower control arm is not
that urgent need, I am considering to use the 700 bucks for a good rock slide.

Go with the Premium plus and upgrade when you have the money or decide you need too.

Our Hanson/Purejeep rep on here drove his JK on the highway 100 miles a day during testing for a couple months.

Don't mean to ninja here, but I have been looking at your Ultimate lift and just wanted to know what options you have for shocks?

we have hydro 5100's and Bilstein's. You can use any shock that you want however

Just FYI, the Ultimate is now SRS (silent ride system).

I just logged over 25K miles with the 3" Premium Plus Kit on my Rubi Unlimited JK. I wheel just about every weekend with this Jeep and have 0 issues or noises.

Coupled with the Bilstein Shocks & FT Heavy Duty Rear Sway Bar (FTS7150) this Jeep's ride quality on and offroad is second to none.

Just curious if you could run 37's with your Ultimate lift? I have always thought about running 35's but the more I see Four Doors running 37's makes me interested.Also, for those running 37's what needs to be done to a Rubicon Unlimited to run 37's correctly?

Yep, you can run the 3" kit with flat fenders and longer bump stops or the 4" ultimate will do the trick with stock fenders

I would suggest gearing for 37's and chromoly shafts in the future.

I am kind of confused here, in your website, you have two shock choices

M-Force Gas Mono Tube
5100 Hydraulic


Do you mean now you have 3 choices


M-Force Gas Mono Tube
5100 Hydraulic
Bilstein 5100

If I am correct, does it mean there is difference between 5100 hydraulic and bilstein 5100?

M-force is not available at this time, so you have two choices from us, You can buy different shocks and run them on this kit.
the Bilstein is gas charged
