TF or FT?
So, I've done my research and I've narrowed my options to either the Teraflex full flex arm 4" lift or the Full traction Ultimate suspension system with the hydro shocks (or the M Force Nitro shocks if they are really worth the extra $200). I'll be running these with either 35" km2 or Trail grapplers and I want the best ride quality since this is my DD, any input would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same dilemma a few months back and went the Full Traction route with the 3" ultimate. I am running 35's with cut fenders. I am very happy with it. I got the Bilstein 5100 shocks and it rides better then stock. My dad went with the 2.5" Terraflex lift just to be different. His also rides nice. He has the stock 32's still with stock fenders. To be honest I like the ride of the Full Traction kit with the Bilsteins better than the Terraflex. My dad's 2 door just feels a little too soft and wobbly.
Here is a picture of mine after the new lift went on:
I tried to find some pictures with it flexed out but can't seem to find the folder I put them in. Both the front and rear tires have a couple inches clearance at full stuff with no rubbing.

Don't feel bad im going through the same dilemma, one day I'm thinking Full Traction and then I see the videos Teraflex puts and I'm like "Teraflex all the way". I know both companies are excellent choices and will be happy with either one. I just wish some one would post a pic of two JK's next to each other, one riding on a Teraflex lift and the other a Full Traction lift. See now I'm confusing myself again .... damn it. The one thing I'm sure about is that whatever lift I will my JK will be using the OME shocks.

Both TF & FT make great products. I'm partial to FT and went with the 4" long arm kit. If you can afford the long arm, I highly recommend it! I love the ride quality on and off road. The offroad performance is amazing; agile and lots of flex.
Good luck and post some before and after pics.

Our kits use high end FK Heim joints along with torsion rubber to make the kits noise and maintenance free.
If you have any questions please ask.
