i've installed several 3" FT kits and ran their ultimate kit on my white JK in the past. i would definitely recommend it especially now that they come with bonded rubber bushings.

Just put in the 3" FT and love it, ride and flex is awesome. However the install instructions leave a lot to be desired, but if you follow wayoflife's write up it's very easy.

Thanks!!!

Like Wayoflife said, the Bonded rubber bushings are nice. They are silent and require no grease. As a matter of fact all the JK kits are maintenance free.


If you have any questions let me know. Northridge4x4 has $200 off until August 31.

And another note, yes, they really are silent, my ride is also much quieter than stock!

Good luck with the decision!

I installed a FT 3" premium last weekend. Ordered Shocks from Northridge that never showed up.. and discounttiredirect.com shipped me the wrong tires/wheels.

Was all supposed to be a weekend install at my friends house out of state. So that's where my Jeep is sitting right now... out of state.. up on blocks.. in my friends garage. I had to rent a car to get home.. and am still waiting for shocks and the correct wheels/tires to ship. The weekend build is going to take four weeks.

Once my friend and I got over the no shocks/wrong wheels frustration we decided to go ahead and put the lift on. We had a great time putting it together and thought it was pretty easy. Was our first lift install. Even the old Project-JK.com write up helped (http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-...3-economy-lift).

Give me a month and i'll be able to give you my thoughts on the kit

Your not waiting on the shocks to ship you know they shipped out on Tuesday 3 day air so you will have them by Friday. And I cant apologize anymore than I already have. And not to try and balme anybody else for the mix up but it is always a good idea to do inventory on all the parts before you are ready to install.

Great well think I will get the ft especially since northridge is running a special. Now the next dilemma of what wheels to get. Is there a 15 inch rim that anyone recommends I am just trying to save some money on wheel and tire costs.

Awesome, you need to watch 15" wheels not all will work on the JK.
