You should be fine on the 4 door. Remember this is the econo lift. Its meant to be a good starter lift and can be upgraded a piece at a time.

Default upgrading

from everything that I have read about this lift I realize it is upgradeable and correct me if I am wrong can basically be built up to the ultimate system a part at a time (or a few parts at a time) but one question that brings to mind is how much more will that end up costing in the long run? can't remember but I beleive FT sells an upgrade kit but not sure if it applies to this eco lift. also on other question how does this lift look with 33s installed on it bc as you can imagine since i'm looking at an eco kit really don't have the funds to regear right now in order to run 35s (i have 3.73 gears).
Thanks

I run this lift and love it. The only thing I added to it when I bought it was a rear trackbar. Really what's different from their ultimate lift is just the lack of adjustable control arms. I have probably over 10,000 miles on this lift and no issues. I am even running 37's with no adjustable control arms and my steering is fine. You can purchase their CA's in batches if you want; it may costs you a little more in the long run but you will have a quality lift from the start. Me personally, I am saving up for their LA kit.

It's a great lift and you will be happy with it!

thanks for the input jsears. definitely leaning toward the kit-it was between it and the RE 3.5" (I had the RE on my TJ and loved it) but since I'm going to have to stick with 33s for now don't really want to go to high while at the same time not limit myself from a later tire upgrade once the funds are available. by the way nice jeep (mine is the two door version of yours less all the cool shit as of right now)

Default Just ordered this kit yesterday...

I ordered this kit direct from Full Traction yesterday. I added the Bilstein 5100's. From all the research I have done this kit is the most bang for the buck with very high quality components as expected from Full Traction. Not a huge fan of the rear trackbar bracket but I can swap that out for an adj trackbar anytime...
I think I am going to be a very happy camper running around with 35's on my '11 JKU!!

I will post more info and pics in the next couple weeks. The transformation from stock is finally beginning.....
