Default Full-traction 3" Economy Lift

Hey yall,

I was hoping to hear (and see) some people with this kit. It is only a tad bigger than the 2.5" teraflex kit which includes even less than this... What else would this require to be "complete"...I feel like the ultimate kit is overkill for a 3" lift?

Thanks

I don't know what the 'actual' lift height is for those coils, but the FAQ's are generally a decent place to start for questions like this...

Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift?
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 4" lift?

And then this one, since that kit does not include any way to set caster:

Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?

actually, the TF 2.5" coil kit will give you about the same amount of lift that the FT 3" kit will give you. if you do go with the FT kit, make sure to get a gen 2 kit as they now come with bonded rubber bushings and they are 100% maintenace and squeak free. the older kits came with poly bushings and they needed a lot of attention to keep from squeaking.

As wayoflife said its yields 3" of lift, and rides soft compared other lifts on the market..

Feel free to send me a PM with any questions,

the economy lift is our basic lift kit(budget) it does not come control arms, but is upgradable

You should call and ask about our new maintenance free "Premium Plus kit", it comes with upper control arms with oem bushings
