Okay guys, I am about to pull the trigger on a lift for the wifes 08 Rubi Unlimited and have narrowed it down to the following:

Teraflex 4" Suspension System
Full Traction 4" Ulitmate Suspension w/ Mforce shocks
Currie Lift w/ Rancho adjustable shocks


As far as i can tell the differences are the teraflex comes with a front trackbar, the FT has both track bars, and the currie come with beefy brackets for the stockers and brake line extentions. Which one out of the three will ride as close to stock as possible and be the most quiet? Shoes will consist of 35x12.5 Toyo MTs on Mickey Thompson 17x9 wheels. Thanks.

 

I bet the ride on all of them is fairly similar, just pick one and go with it. Everyone is likely to promote the manufacturer of the lift they have. I don't think there will be many people complaining about any of those lifts. The Currie lift is fairly new so not too many people have experience with it as of yet.

I got a Currie kit but it is sitting on the shelf in my garage because I am recovering from two wrist surgeries. I am hoping to be able to get it installed in the next week or two.

 

I think you'll be happy with any of them..

 

I am running a 4" Teraflex and 35"Toyos on my 2 dr Sahara. I have been very happy with this set up. one of the off road magazines did a big jk lift test and said the TeraFlex was the one they would choose for best road ride. It has great flex and the disco's are included. It seems to be well built just make sure whoever installs it sets the pinion agles correctly. my driveshafts only lasted
3k miles they were not adjusted right when they did the install. I had local shop make new shafts for it. you can see photos if you click on the jk link for photos.

 

The Currie kit has Johnny Joints on both ends of the control arms. That should allow them to flex better... It would be my choice out of the 3.

 

I have read some posts that people may be concerened with a rougher ride because of the joints at both ends rather than having rubber at one end of the arms, causing them to transmit road vibration to the passenger compartment.

SDMF's 2DR has a Currie lift and it rides great. His Jeep has great flex/articulation in all of the pictures I have seen. IMO it looks damn good for a short arm lift, and could probably do battle with some long arm lifts, due to the fact that the stock arms on the JK are fairly long to begin with. A couple examples...

 

after doing some more research i am definatley leaning towards the currie.

 

I have no experience with the Currie, or the Full Traction, so i can't offer an opinion on them; but after 4 months of researching lifts, I installed the Teraflex 4" system with all the control arms on my 4 door. I'm amazed with the ride. I have not yet had an alignment done, or had a pro shop set the precise length of the control arms. when i installed it, i just set the control arms and track bar to the length prescribed by Teraflex, and reset the steering wheel. So far, (250 miles) I haven't had any issues, and it tracks perfectly straight down the road.

This is the third Wrangler i've put a 4" lift on, and the ride of the JK with the Teraflex is night and day compared to anything else i've used in the past. I think it's actually a smoother ride than my wife's Mustang GT. The total lift actually turned out to be a little over 5", but according to everything i read while researching lifts, this tends to be normal for the Teraflex lift. I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Teraflex system also includes stainless extended brake lines. As far as being quiet, I think that has more to do with the tires. I'm running the new BFG KM2's and they seem to be very quiet.

 

Do you have any pics of your Jeep that is exactly what I am looking at doing.
Thanks.

 

The Currie Lift comes with DOT SS brake lines. We also have adjustable track bars available (not included in the kit)
