Default FT or Currie?

I'm deciding on a lift, and would like opinions on the FT 4" vs the Currie, or ??? The FT is fully bolt on, but the Currie has a great write-up, and I can get a friend to bring a welder over. I'm wondering about ride quality, durability, m-force vs rancho shocks... I'm planning on running 35's. Here's your chance to give your opinion and have someone listen!

Thanks
Todd

I'd ask why not just those two? My short list is: Clayton, Full Traction, Rock Krawler, and Teraflex in alphabetical order. I like the Currie kit, but it's out of my price range at the moment.

Sorry, no edit. We don't have a local company around here with novel ideas, just Walmart. That's why I'm asking for info here. It would be great to have a local shop like that.

I email FT yesterday about the 4" lifts. They said they will be shipping them out on the 11th. I personally think the FT is the best. It seems the most complete for the price and it is complete bolt on which tops in my book. I am getting the ultimate which is


Parts Included
Front and Rear Adjustable Lower Control Arms
Front and Rear Adjustable Upper Control Arms
Front and Rear Coil Springs
Front and Rear Bump Stop Extensions
Front and Rear Brake Line Extension Brackets
Front and Rear Track Bars
Front and Rear Track Bar Brackets
Pitman Arm
Front Sway Bar Disconnects
Rear Sway Bar Links

I beleive the traction bars are both adjustable.

I don't know about the others. However I have the Full Traction 3" Ultimate. It is a very complete kit and easy to install. I have had NO problems. NONE, since I put it on. My JK drives better now than it did stock. I drive my JK 150 miles a day to and from work. I have 35k on my JK. I wheel it pretty hard when I can.

I have heard good things about the FT. I went with the Currie because I was so impressed with their suspension I had on my TJ. I have only been driving my JK with the Rock Jock system for a week, but I am very satisfied so far.

I'm going with the local company so my decision was easy. The fact they also have an excellent and slightly novel design and amazing customer service also helps.
Putnam Dan, who is the local company? Where are they?
