Default i need your toughts...

So, i guess ill go with the 3`` full traction economy lift for now, its pretty complete...

It includes: Front and rear springs, new front adjustable track bar(Rubber bushings) rear track bar bracket, front and rear sway bar links, bump stop extensions, brake line extension brackets... but it has no arms at all... wich i think its perfect for now cause i will upgrade for the long arms probably next spring or summer!!

What do yall think?


Ill get 35s not sure wich one yet.. any tought?

so it aint too bad.. that lift + PSC brawler lite with bar + LOD rock sliders + spydertrax wheel spacers, all that for 2300$ but no shocks..

wich shocks should i get? im looking at the bilstein and King 2.0.. i don`t want any with reservoir for a simple reason, I don`t need that for now, I might upgrade em when I put the long arm in tho..

thank you guys and gals

I got this kit and being installed as we speak. I pick it up tomorrow. I went with bilstein 5100's and the manuf. said not to exceed 27 inches extended for the shocks which is what I went with. I have a 2009 JKU Rubicon. I plan on adding upper front adjustable next month then front lowers when I scrape together enough cash.

No yet... No cash. Got some wheel spacers for now. Hopefully will have 35's in a few months if I can figure out which wheels I want. Then after that will determine if I need to get gears or not.

with 35s i think our 4.10 gears would be good enough for a while quite a bit.. depends how hard ur on ur jeep i guess.. as for the wheels, if you already got spacers you wont need wheels, unless your going 1350 or wider..

Ranco makes a great shock, great price,functional,warranty and the coil overs i dont think will work, i sure as hell would nt install them on my rig in the stock shock mounts there not built to with stand the stress. you can also run into alot of issues with bump steer and binding if you have alot of travel and your control arms are not adjustible. FULL TRACTION is a great company with one hell of a product, call them tell them what you want out of your rig and they will sell you the right lift, Buy a complete kit you are way better off. And if you dont have the cash save up alil longer it will be worth it trust me.

I do a lot of freeway driving so not sure if my 4.10's will cut it. If they don't I'm going to get 4.88's as I have a 6 speed. I know I can keep my stock wheels but I don't want to.
