Im looking to purchase a lift to run 35's. I love the ride of the stock JK. I'm looking at the Full Traction premium lift with the monotube shocks. I do not want to compromise in the ride. I also want a top quality lift for years of service. Anyone run this or have some known comparisons? Which lift is best. I do not want a BB as I think the 35's looked to big for that small of lift. It is mainly a daily driver.

 

I have the Black Diamond 3" Lift with Xtreme Terrain Lower Control Arms and Rear Track Bar. Also have Rancho adjustable 9000XL shocks. Been playing with the ride - from full-on Cadillac (yuck) to rock-hard no-springs (also yuck). But the middle range is sweet. Most suspensions are determined by the shock action anyway, so having an adjustable setup allows fine-tuning. VERY satisfied - great articulation.

 

Thanks, What hit in milage did you get with the lift and tires? Dont plan to be a serious offroader so I might go 4.88 as I want to keep the best mileage. Been happy with stock performance so far. Guess I'm getting old!

 

I have the 3" Full Traction Ultimate also and love the way it rides. I'm in a 2DR auto with 5.13 gears, so my mileage won't matter to you.

 

x2 ........

 

I have the BD as well, I love it, perfectly level, with the Superlift Adjustable Arms. I have the Bilstein (Superlift SS Shocks) and the ride is great. I haven't re-geared yet, thinking 4.88 as well since I have a manual. In my experience (TJ as well) once you hit 35 and up your gas mileage is just screwed. My motto is is give JK what JK wants and that is gas, we get along better that way.

In short I say Black Diamond x2.
