Hi everyone,

I installed my FT Ultimate kit this weekend and had to go back to FT twice for new parts. I caught one before starting but one caught me and cost me a day without a vehicle. The guys at FT were very helpful to me and sent parts to me overnight.

1) Make sure the heim joint ends COMPLETELY screw into the control arm. I had one that would only screw in about an inch before completely trying to re-thread itself. Also, one of my rear upper control arms went in almost all the way. I had to readjust my lowers to compensate for the last 1/8 inch.

2) Check the misalignment spacers for the track bars. The holes on mine were not large enough to accept the factory bolt. Apparently some kits were shipped with a TJ spacer (smaller bolt). It cost me another day.




Also check to make sure you will be able to get out of the garage after the lift is installed. I had about 2 inches of room but I was concerned for a while.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what did ya pay for the wheels and tires?
Thanks

Great looking Jeep too!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks

You can go to 4wheelparts and find out. The MTZ are $214 each, the rims are $149 each. Multiply by 5, add some shipping (~100) and your done.

 

Where did you order your lift from and how long did it take you? I am almost to the point of going with a lesser lift just to get a lift. Thanks

 

Ordered it from Northridge. Ordered it March 5 and received it April 11. Call it 6 weeks. I don't know if I would go with a lesser lift. The quality of this kit is great. The ability to adjust everything is really nice. I haven't had a wheel alignment yet, but it rides very nice.
