I have an AEV lift and I like it for my purposes. I have seen the Full Traction lifts both installed and laying on the ground. Their stuff is seriously beefy. If I were building a rig biased towards off-road, I would really be drawn to their set-up. I like that FT's long-arm is bolt on so that if you damage the mounts you can just un-bolt and repair/replace.

If you know that you're going to 37's, you may want to look at a lift that's geared towards running that size of tires.

Planman has a great thread in the writeups section on how to run 37's with an OME lift, flat fenders, and a 1" body lift. Another good quality option would be a Clayton lift - I believe that they offer a lift that they say will clear 37's. I know that there are certainly cheaper lifts that will clear 37's - but you get what you pay for.

Thank You!

To the OP,

I would suggest our 3" premium plus kit for the two door wrangler. If cash is not a problem the 3" long arm.

The premium plus includes, front and rear trackbars, upper front and rear adjustable control arms. Featuring FK Kevlar lined chromoly heim joints, and torsion rubber bushings, bump stops, disconnects, and brakeline brackets.

At 3" of lift you really need to dial in your pinion and caster angles. This kit will do just that. Ive been running 3" and 37's on my 2 door for years. I'm extremely happy with the low center of gravity and ride.

If you go with our premium plus kit please let me know. I will include the proper bump stops for 37's and flat fenders. No need for a body lift.

you may want to look into this as it will save you a bit of cash. it means u most probably wont need DS's and the lift is cheaper. with keeping the lift small suspension geometry is much cheaper to correct and give a stock like ride.

further u need to add gussets and sleeves to your list. if you wheel ur dana 30 will thank you for this.
If you wheel these jeeps, You need driveshafts.

Yea, i would love to run the long arm, but the money and use i would get out of it is just not there. Im in college so i dont have much time to do any serious wheeling. What is the difference between the premium plus and the standard 3inch?

3" Economy kit
Includes Coils, brakeline brackets, bump stops. Disconnects, rear links $499.95

3" Economy plus
Adds Front trackbar and rear trackbar bracket. $599.99

3" Premium plus

Front and rear adjustable trackbars
Front and rear upper adjustable control arms
Coils
Bump stops
brakeline brackets
Disconnects, rear links $1195.95.

Of the three kits, the Premium plus is the best of course. It will dial in your pinion and caster angles. The Econo plus is a nice starter kit. You can always add adjustable control arms if your not happy with steering and pinion angle.

unfortunately on the two door you really need to address these issues right away.
