Me too. I don't want to miss anything and get stuck needing more parts or picking the wrong kit. Right now my top choice for the lift is the FT Ultimate 3" based on opinions voiced on here. The pictures I've seen show the parts as being the most HD but I could be wrong.

I have had zero problems with the 3" teraflex kit. It hold up under pressure and has everything included but the adjustable track bar (a high recommendation) plus, it's easily upgradable, so get control arms later if you feel like you need them.

Hey blackmarketg4, aside from the lift you have on your Jeep now, the only other one in your list that I have any experience with is the Full Traction 3" Ultimate with M-Force shocks. And, since installing it back in March, putting over 12,000 miles on it and playing with it hard on the trail, I can tell you that it is built exceptionally well, provides amazing flex on the trail and offers a great ride off of it as well. If you haven't already seen how a kit like this performs, check out some of the pics I have of it in the Project-JK Photo Gallery or some of the YouTube Videos we have. In my opinion, they can speak for themselves.
