The Rubicon Express long arm kits are arguably the best quality and performing lifts you can put on a JK. Their not cheap thouth, But that should tell you something!!

If you look at Peterson's 4wheel and JP magazine a couple months ago they did a suspension shoot out and Black Diamond was voted as one of the best. Second place but that's because the first place lift cost over $4,000.

Here's the link to the JP magazine article. Peterson's goes into the scoring, but it is not on the web (last I checked).

"4x4 Garage" magazine (February edition) also had a very comprehensive shoot-out between lift kits. Was very informative.

Wow, no kidding? When Full-Traction first came out they were one of the cheaper ones. Of course everyone agreed that it looked like they used Pro Comp springs. Is that the 3" ultimate you're talking about for $2,000? I'd think the Rubicon Express 3.5" for $1,650 would be a better deal for your money.
