Default Which 3" Lift is the Best?

I have been considering the Superlift/Black Diamond lift. I recently was told that the Full Traction Ultimate Lift was better. They both are about the same price. Any input from others that have researched? Going with 35s.

If I was going to buy a 3" lift I would get the Full Traction lift. There are a lot of members here who have them and really like them. also because these members have used and abused these lifts they can easily troubleshoot problems for you, better than most if not all shops can.

That sounds like a good recommendation. In fact, it was Northridge that recommended the Full Traction lift.

That is another thing I would do, in fact I did do, buy at Northridge, even though I didn't go with FT. David probably has the best customer service in this whole Jeep or off road industry. If you have any problems he takes pride in taking care of it for you. You definitely can't go wrong with Northridge 4X4!!!

I have been struggling to decide which lift to buy. I want to run 35's and don't want it to be too high. There is just not enough track record on most of the lifts. That said, I think I am going with the Rubicon Express 3.5 inch long arm. It is probably the newest one on the market, but hopefully the problems with the RE Superflex 3.5 inch won't happen on this one. I am still watching all the feedback and will pull the trigger when I feel good about the decision.

I would have to recommend the Full Trac lift....I have had a lengthy conversation with the owner ( Steve ) ....Great guy...Really believes top notch customer service is # 1 priority for a company....as well as developing a great product and those are two qualities you just can't beat!!!!!

I blieve the same thing about David at Northridge also.....

Just my opinion though......After the warranty is up ...I will buy a Full Trac lift!!!!!!!

I have the FT 3"premium. Plan on making a trip to the hardware store to get nuts, bolts the nuts had a different thread pattern than the bolts on the ones they sent me and a drill bit (unless you have a torch) so you can make the rear track bar relocation bracket lign up other than that no complaints.
