full traction is one of the favorites. they have a few reps on the forum here and they help with a lot of questions and they listen to our feedback.
rc is also very popular and a rep on the forum.
Flashpaq has more hype. if you lost power and you want to regain some of it back, don't waste your money, regear.

IF your planning on running 37's in the future a 4" kit is a good choice. it'll give you the extra ground clearance needed on a JKU. It wont look bad with 35's either
Our kits are maintenance free.
Which means, no laying in the cold slush/snow greasing up your kit in the winters. You just need to check torque on the bolts.

From the quotes i got on TF and FT lift, they're all the same price:
-TF 3" w/full flex arms + Monster adjustable f/t bar
-TF 4" w/full flex arms (Monster adjustable f/t bar included in kit)
-FT 4" Ultimate (8 arms, f & r track bar included)
The RC 4" seems to be a complete kit, less expensive and guys on that forum that are riding them seems to like their lift kit (and I red some good comments about the new arms that are really similar to the TF ones).
On the other side, just got a quote today on TF 3" & 4" from a good local parts dealer and I was surprised to hear bad comments from the TF shocks. He was recommend me to go with the gas procomp shocks instead. What are you thinking about that?
Still not sure on wich lift to go with. A 4" will allow me to ride 37 when my first set of 35 will be out, but of course i need to budget on front DS sonner than with a 3" lift...

Finally decided to go with the TF 3" w/full flex arms + monster adjustable front track bar. And 16x8 procomp 7069 flat blak. So now, when my jeep is coming to the dealer?
Still have time to change my mind on bumpers(XHD front and rear)...

You made a good choice.
Having personally gone with the 4" and 35s, I wish I would have stayed with either my TF 2.5" coils or gone with the 3" kit. Changing out the driveshafts and the drag-link flip a bit overkill for as often as I wheel...and it's my DD also.

Hi guys,
My 2011 green JKU Sahara 6sp on 3.73 comes in a week or two and I plan to buy some parts for mods. My JK will be my DD. I should go wheel 1 or 2 week-end per month (don't think I will do heavy rock crawling). I planned to ride 35" tires on 15 rims. Do you guys think a 4" lift with 35" will look silly? so I need to think about running 37" (with front D30 ?? hissh)?
Here is some lift kits I'm looking too:
-TeraFlex JK 4-Dr 4" Suspension System w/Full FlexArm System w/Shocks
-Full Traction JK 4-Dr 4" Ultimate Suspension System with M-force shocks
-Rough Country JK 4-Dr 4" X-series Suspension
or
-TeraFlex JK 4-DR 3" Suspension System w/Full FlexArm System & Shocks. I've heard the Teraflex 3" suspension sits around 4 1/4" once installed?
(I imagine i will have to buy separatly front and rear track bar for the 3" ?)
Of course with these changes I plan also to get a Flashpaq Superchip(or AEV ProCal, still not sure), add RR XDH front/rear bumpers and regear to 4.88 and add lockers at the same times.
What about steering stabilizer??
Feel free to give me your opinions and post some pics of you lifted rig....thanks!!
