Nice rig;
I was just typing a thread regarding the FT 6" long arm lift and saw yours. I was thinking of running the Tera flex 4" or the FT 4-6". Why did you choose the FT? Why not the 6"? Im still in decision anything helps..

I did not want to go higher than 4" because of center of gravity concerns. It's already pretty damn high as it is, and I think I'll have very little issues with rubbing even with the 37's. And my wife and kids already complain about it being too high. Looking forward to getting the rails put on next week or so.

I went with the Full Traction because of all the great reviews that company has received on this website (I don't think I have read a bad review), and because of the 4 link arrangement they maintain. This rides and handles remarkably well. I hit an area of construction while going about 70 last week, requiring me to brake, turn left over very uneven surfaces as the road sloped away a bit, and then veer right again. I puckered up pretty good with that one, but the Jeep had no issue with it at all. I thought that a maneuver like that would have caused some "Death Wobble" or kick in the anti-roll, ABS, blah-blah-blah automatic control of the Jeep, but it didn't. It just kept driving like any other truck I have driven.

Another factor in choosing the FT over another lift is that the shops in my area service FT more than anything else. RE and TF are also available, but not as common. I don't doubt that there are those who will swear by any lift they have had good results with. But this is my first attempt at lifting a Jeep and I wanted to get it as right as I could from the start.

I am very happy with the results and the work Screamin Lizard did for me.

I really torn if its worth upgrading from the RE 3.5 "Short Arm" to the FT 4" Long Arm.
Your rig looks fantastic though, good looking flex.
