Question 35's w/FT LA 6"

Would this be a little over kill 35's on a 6 inch FT LA kit. or would it be a better setup with the 4" kit.

Damn that does look good, much better than i was expecting. I was afraid there would be too much space in the wheel wells.

Good job

the amount of space is decent and will allow more travel or articulation. which is def good for crawling

This aint no Nike commercial lol. I was looking in the 4wheelparts cat and they have the 4"and6" ft la kits priced the same is this a typo or are they both the same price? and would the only difference be the bigger springs. and speaking of springs whats the difference between the 2dr. and 4dr. kits? if its heaveir springs I will order the 4dr for my 2dr so when I am finished putting all the goodies like the rampage bump and winch the cargo rack and so on so forth it should handle all the extra added weight right? I know doing the suspension upgrades on the military humvees all it is are heavier shocks and springs that are a lil bit longer and thicker. But if the geometry is dif between the 2and4drs like the arms being longer than Im stuck with the 2drs. yes I am tired so that is why I am rambling on.

I dunno how much different the Full Traction kits are....But the Rubicon Express 4-door and 2-door long arm kits are for the most part exactly the same. The only difference in the 4-door and 2-door kits were the springs. The 4-door kit has the heavier springs. My 2-door actually has a 4.5" 4-door kit, and the end result is 5.5" of lift. I would only think that Full Traction springs would be the same.
