Default I'm bummed

I just called Full Traction to find out about there 4" long arm and short arm lifts. The gentleman that I spoke to said probably wont ship out for another month .Has anyone heard or know anything different? The first time I called in Dec. they said mid Jan. I have been waiting since June for a lift. The way it is going it probably be another 3 months with my luck. It figures it has to be the one I am always intrested in. I know there are others out there but they don't seem to offer as good of quality as the FT. Plus I am regearing on thursday, so I will be driving a stock JK with 4:88. thats gonna suck for the time being. sorry I just had to vent.

There are other companies putting out quality lifts that are available now.

Not to offend anyone but the Full Traction seems the most complete.

I've been having problems with supply on some after market parts too. I guess the JK is selling more parts than some vendors anticipated. I will 2nd that there are other lifts you can go with. I disagree with FT being the most complete, any "good" lift has about all the same parts, I can only think of about three others though. (SL, Currie, RE)

No offense here. You should get what you want, but if a complete system is what you want there are plenty that offer what Full Traction does. I've been doing some research for my future lift purchase and the Rock Krawler X-Factor Plus and Teraflex 4" System (which are comparably priced) have virtually the same components.

I heard nothing but good things about the Teraflex lift, as well. Is that the 4" long arm you're talking about (retailing for $2 large?). That's what I'm going to get as soon as I have the feria.

Still a short arm, or what they call their flex-arm system. I'm not sure whether or not they're offering a long arm. It's not on their website. I just don't think a long arm is necessary with the JK. The Teraflex, Rock Krawler, and Full Traction were all within about $100 of each other if I remember correctly.

Flex arm...THAT'S IT! Regardless, the articulation on that mug should be insane, right? On par with the RE set-up?
