Best riding 3" lift?
Im looking to purchase a lift to run 35's. I love the ride of the stock JK. I'm looking at the Full Traction premium lift with the monotube shocks. I do not want to compromise in the ride. I also want a top quality lift for years of service. Anyone run this or have some known comparisons? Which lift is best. I do not want a BB as I think the 35's looked to big for that small of lift. It is mainly a daily driver.

I have the Black Diamond 3" Lift with Xtreme Terrain Lower Control Arms and Rear Track Bar. Also have Rancho adjustable 9000XL shocks. Been playing with the ride - from full-on Cadillac (yuck) to rock-hard no-springs (also yuck). But the middle range is sweet. Most suspensions are determined by the shock action anyway, so having an adjustable setup allows fine-tuning. VERY satisfied - great articulation.

Thanks, What hit in milage did you get with the lift and tires? Dont plan to be a serious offroader so I might go 4.88 as I want to keep the best mileage. Been happy with stock performance so far. Guess I'm getting old!

In short I say Black Diamond x2.
