Holy crap, I finally decided to purchase my lift and tires. I just ordered the following from Morris4x4.

Full Traction 3 inch premium plus lift
Bilstein 5100's
Rugged Ridge exhaust spacer kit
Pro Comp 17x9 7005's Cast Black
35x12.5 Nitto Trail Grapplers

 

Mind if I ask how much you just dropped on that sick haul?

 

I have the same lift, you'll love it!

 

It was a little over 4K. Pretty tough to hit 'place order'. I'm not a rich guy (I'm active duty Air Force) but I've done well on the purchase and selling of my last two Jeeps. Gotta love Jeeps high resale value.

 

Thanks man. I decided to hold off on wheel spacers. The wheels have 4.7 backspacing so i wanted to see if I could get by without them first. Plus, I'd rather put what remaining money I have to Trek Armors.

 

Yeah you're right on the edge of backspacing needed, but you'll probably be fine. 4.75-3.75 is a good window to have. You may find some used spidertrax on the forum for sale. You might like the wider stance the spacers will give you, but they're not necessary for your future setup.

 

I just read a ton of negative reviews about Full Traction on a different forum. It seems that most of the hatred was brewing around 2010 and it stemmed from poor customer service and bad bushings. Are there any more folks out there that have more recent experience with the system? If not I'll probably cancel that part of my order and go with the Rock Krawler 3.5 mid flex w/ Bilsteins from Northridge.

 

Just speaking from personal experience... I've had this kit for two years and have had ZERO problems. It rides better than stock, very easy to install, and even when I thought there was a "squeak" in my kit (turned out to be brakes), Steve from FT was right on top of it from a thread I posted randomly on this forum. We talked on the phone and he even invited me to check out their facility in Bakersfield since I'm in LA and pass thru Bakersfield to visit in-laws once a month.
Every product is going to have their fair share of positive and negative reviews. Good luck with your decision. FWIW I'm 100% satisfied with my FTS kit.

 

Thanks BigRedJK. I actually read one of your reviews before I purchased this lift. I'm just looking for more Full Traction owners, specifically folks who purchased it within the last 6 months or so. Even negative experiences would help me make a decision (I guess really I've already made it since I messaged Morris4x4 to cancel the lift purchase). So, chime in if I've made a mistake.

 

The mail man cometh!
