Most likely. I saw the 4" long arm kit in person today on 37's and it looked like a great fit.

Huge regrets so far going with this company!
Hey red7, have you tried calling the 4WP like I had suggested you do? They are after all the ones you purchased your kit from, the ones who will have you on record, the ones who you have a recepit from and the ones who ultimately should be the ones responsible for taking care of you.

What problems are you having?
You "don't doubt it"? "Sometimes this happens when you run with the new kid on the block"?? I suppose you are speaking from your vast experience with Full Traction and/or running their kits?

He claims that his rid is extremely harsh and as you and so many other people who have this lift including myself, have no idea what he could be refering to and that's the honest truth.

You are correct but this is not a 'triangulated' 4 link kit - just a standard long arm kit.

Looks good, hopefully they will sell the kit in pieces for those who already have springs, brake lines, trac bars, ect........Wouldnt mind just getting the control arms and brackets.......

I cant wait to see some more pics though, because so far Im not too sure I like looks of the cross member bracket hanging below the stock one, loosing valuable ground clearance.

i like their stuff, but when i read 4 link in the description i thought it was a bit misleading.


NOW THEY DO RUN REAL UPPERS, not radius arms like rubicon express. but i personally don't mind radius arms. . .. just my .02 though.
With what is shown, it is a 4 link WITH a panhard. There is no triangulation on the links to keep the axle walking side to side so a panhard is needed to control the lateral movement. So realistically you are getting a 5 link (4 link w/ panhard), just not a triangulated 4 link...

Default 4-link

I think Jeep even calls it factory a "4 link"

even though its actually 5 with the trac-bar...

And whomever spends that much money on any kit should research the heck out of it...

Hi Eddie, yes I called them last Friday and was told that the owner Steve would call me back within 15 minutes so I waited around all day but never got the call. So far that equals 0 responses from 2 emails ( sent 2.5 weeks ago)one message and one time speaking with someone who said I'd get called right back. I know most people have been happy with theirs as was I before I actually drove it (fit and finish was awesome), so obviously they sent me the wrong springs or something seeing as how I got way more than 3" out of it. I'm not trying to be a pain I just want them to help me find out what's wrong so that I don't hate driving this great Jeep anymore!

Harsh is an under statement as I can stand and bounce on the bumpers and it hardly moves. I've had another guy voice the same issue but most have enjoyed a stiffer but not rigid tail chopper like ride so I'm not bashing the company's product though their service could improve. I'll keep trying to get a hold of someone.

What?? Unless 4WP knows something that I don't, I don't know how they could tell you that the owner of Full Traction would call you back in 15min let alone anytime on Friday when he was supposed to be settting up his display at the Off Road Expo show in Pomona, CA.

As far as your harsh ride goes, to the best of my knowledge, there are no other springs you could have been sent. How do you know that you got more than 3" of lift? Where are you measuring from and are you basing this height increase on a before and after measurement? Whatever the case may be, if in fact you got your coils from FT, I can't help but to wonder if maybe your problem is still shock related. Have you tried removing your shocks and bounce on your bumper as before? If not, try it as it will help to determine what exactly is going on here.

In the mean time, I will try to give them a call myself and see if they can help you out.
