I just sold my atv for 2500 dollars and wanting to go with the FT 3 in Premium Plus kit and 35s. now here is where i am worried and dont want to pull the trigger. i have a 2 door auto. and all i read about is how the DS have to get replaced soon after putting at least 3 in. of lift on a 2 door auto. It will be awhile before i can afford another 1000 dollars for front and rear DS. so should i just sit on the money and wait till i can afford it. this is my DD and i cant afford for it to break down. also to run 35s i know i need C's and at least a tuner with 3.73 gears. so any advice on what you guys would do and all that.
oh and i am set on the FT premium kit because its cheaper to get them control arms and track bars in one whole kit then to piece by piece it.
hopefully you guys can talk some sense into me.

 

Any lifted 2 door guys got any advice for me?

 

Had a FT lift on my 4-Door. Wasn't happy with it, so I swapped it out for an RK lift. YMMV though.

 

Why didn't you like it?

 

Swaybar links kept squeaking on me even though they were the zero maintenance ones. Plus the springs sagged close to an 1.25" once I had my bumpers and winch installed. (This was with the 3" lift).

 

Well back on topic. What should I do

 

You should check out the Rancho 3" kit. They have an insane deal right now where you can get up to $500 back on a VISA card if you buy certain lift/shock combos... Might be enough to get a front DS and the full lift, for the price of just the lift.

 

Have you read the modified section? Also, have you looked at 2.5" suspension lifts? I believe you would be fine with your DS installing one of those like the Teraflex system. Seems alot of members have been happy and you can run 33 - 35 inch tires as well. Just my thoughts.

 

Look into the TF 2.5 that was one of my thought before I saw the full traction deal.

I will have to look into those. Thanks for the heads up on them

 

I'm running a 2.5 TF lift (coils) that netted me closer to 3 inches, and the. 3/4 spacers for leveling once I got a heavy bumper and winch. It's been on for close to 2 years now, and I'm still on stock drive shafts front and rear. I also wheel it at least 2 times a month since I've had it installed.
