nth degree, Fab-Tech, Full Traction, Teraflex, RE, etc....
who makes the best lift?
I hear nth degree and Fab-Tech have awesome kits, but don;t know anyone who runs them...
Same w/ Full Traction...
I run Teraflex TJ long arms and I'm quite pleased...
Originally ran RE 4.5" kit back in 98, but long term very disappointed (no zerk fits etc..)...haven't checked RE since so they may have improved their lifts....
anyone have any thoughts???
cheers.

Of your list, I can tell you that only Full Traction and TeraFlex have kits that are out now and shipping. I've spoken with Nth Degree at lenght and they don't plan to have anything for the JK until next year. As far as Fabtech goes, I know they have stuff in development but have no idea when it'll be available for sale.
I currently am running a Full Traction long arm kit on my TJ and of all the lifts I have run to date, I can honestly say that this is hands down the very best in quality and in performance. I can only assume that the same would be true of their JK kits too.
Until more of these kits have a chance to be run by people like you and me, I think you can only go off of past experiences to guide you to a decision.

Are the teraflex lifts shipping? If so, from where? I am a Utah boy and the teraflex shop told me it will be a month until they are shipping. They told me they might be able to get me the lift now but they can't install it for a month.

This question is more personal preference, no one kit is better than another for every person. No one person will run every kit listed on the same Jeep. I'll guess we'll have to see what people say!

The Nth kit for TJs posed a problem for several people in my group when we ran Moab. Things torqued out, and generally went to hell. I think it's a good idea, but the earlier versions I saw had some issues.
