I've run a Full Traction 3" Ultimate lift on my JK with 35" tires for about a year and can tell you that it's a can't miss setup. Just check out our YouTube videos or photo gallery to see it in action

What kind of wheeling do you expect to do?

Some lifts are better on road, some are better off road, some are better at high speed dirt runs, others are better n rocks, etc.

Another KEY Question...(Context...the brand will have economy up to super complete kits....it makes a difference as to WHICH level of budget you mean to/are willing spend - The flexy rock suspension might be too wishy washy at speed, the tight handling stiffer suspension may hang tires in the rocks, there is NO ONE SL that is best at EVERYTHING...there are always compromises....YOUR priorities will dictate which lift is best, for YOU.)

What's your budget, and what's MOST important in terms of performance for the $?

thanks! as far as uses...

i don't plan to do anything too crazy with it. I am going to go exploring and have fun with it...but i'm not going to take it out every weekend...or climb over huge rocks...

mostly i'll use it for dirt type paths/mounds/creeks. backwoods type stuff.

95% of the time i will be driving on the road.

I'm with WOL on this and for one additional reason. The FT 3" ultimate is great, but you don't have to start there. They have three different versions of the 3". You can start with the least expensive, and build it up from there. The standard 3" lift is fully upgradeable to the Ultimate version.
