I am probley the only one with the ultimate FT lift on the board, It hasnt been released yet. I cant comment on the RE lifts but ive always heard good things about them.

We're very happy with the lift, it rides just as smooth as stock. The control arms are heavy duty. They really put together a very nice lift. I Didnt have any issues with the install it went on smooth. Not sure what your looking for.

well i am looking for a lift to clear 35's easily and that is complete. i have put lifts on my buddies tj's and they all run into the same problem with the death wobble cause they don't change the control arms or the trac bar. i really don't want to have to deal with that so my goal is to by a lift that is complete. i will be doing 70-30 on to offroad mostly trail riding more mud and sand then rocks.

all the lifted stories on here, i haven't heard of one DW yet. i think dcx pretty much eliminated it with the track bar brace.

you should be fine with the RE kits, just look at it. make sure it has 8 adj. control arms (at least four), front and rear adj. track bars, sway bar links, provisions for brakes, shocks, bump stop extensions....

have piginajeep give you the parts list from his ultimate kit, and compare.

edit: you can clear 35's easily with a BB, and throw a BL on there for more room.
