Default TF 3" or FT 3" ?????

What lift is going to be better for daily driver with a weekend of offroad trails, rocks, sand, mud for a 2dr JK X running 35" toyos? It comes down to the Tera kit with it's qick disco's or the FT kit with the monotubes?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TeraFlex - Jeep JK Wrangler - 3" Lift Kit:

The 3” TeraFlex lift will give you increased off road articulation for moderate trails. The three inch kit is perfect for running up to 35” tires. This gives the JK a very balanced look and fills out the wheel wells.

The three inch kit includes springs, bumpstops, rear swaybar link extension, and front swaybar quick disconnects.
$763.44

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full Traction - JK Wrangler - 3 inch Economy Suspension Lift:

Our Economy 3" Lift is the simple and inexpensive way to clear larger tires up to 35x12.50*, increase ground clearance, and improve suspension articulation without major drivetrain modification. While designed to keep the cost low, this kit is complete and correct. Kit includes: Front and rear springs, front track bar bracket, rear track bar bracket, front & rear sway bar links, billet aluminum bump stop extensions, brake line extension brackets, and complete detailed instructions. System can be ordered with Full-Traction 5100 series Hydraulic shocks or M-Force Gas Monotube shocks.

Precise, comfortable street handling, combined with great off road performance make this an excellent choice for a daily driver.

* Using recommended tire widths & wheel backspacing
$694.95 w/5100 series shocks
$774.95 w/M-Force Monotubes

Default TF 3Inch Lift.

I installed a TF 3In last week and love it. There has only been two issues so far. (1) I had to buy an Adj. Front Track bar to locate the axle under center, it was to the driver side by about 3/4 of an inch. (2) I couldn't use the rear sway bar links that came with the kit because they were rubbing against my factory rims. I temporarily fixed by using the factory ones until I buy new rims.

I just said this same thing in another thread so I feel like I'm repeating myself but I have the FT Ultimate 3" with HD springs and 35" Toyos on my 2DR and it is SWEET! I am sitting about an inch taller than guys with bigger lifts, and I absolutely love the way it handles on and off road. That's the Ultimate, not the Economy, so I'm not sure how much of a difference in ride there would be, but I've had absolutely no problems with it, and when a woman tells you she loves the way it rides and handles (on and off road), you know it's got to be good.
