Default 3" Full Traction Eco Question

What is the difference (parts wise) in the economy and the ultimate Full Traction 3" lift? I have read that the economy is upgradeable; I am just wondering exactly what upgradeable means? Also I have had my jeep for a few weeks and I think this is the lift for me but if anyone can give me some specs on their JK (i.e. ground clearances, over all height) maybe post some before and after pics with this lift on it; it would be "highly" (cheesy pun intended) appreciated!! Thanks for all the help!

The economy kit is a entry level lift kit that provides 3" of lift with the use of taller springs and relocation brackets for the trackbars.

The ultimate kit is just that the ultimate short arm kit you can buy it comes with everything you need to tune your suspension.

The 3" ultimate kit is the most popular kit.

I agree. If i was to run the economy kit I would go with the adjustable track bars also.

no the ultimate doesn't. Just the economy comes with track bar relocation brackets, they just drop the mount down. ITs better to get the track bars. Go to FT website it shows you everything you can get in each of there 3 kits.

look here. I dont think it uses the bracket, the track bars are adjustable so you dont need it.
