What is your guys thoughts on the full traction 3" lift kit vs. the teraflex 3" economy lift that is available. I am new to the coil springs. I have had jeeps with leaf springs. I am getting ready to order one and I am all twisted with which brand to get. My wife said ok to the 3" and thats it. so I can't go any higher than that. Thanks for the imput, Mike.

 

I have the Full Traction 3" Economy and I like it for the most part. My only real complaints are that the kit needed a lot of fitting for the track bar relocation brackets, which is a common issue. Also, the Full Traction kit didn't correct the rake (front sits lower than rear).

If I was doing it again, I'd probably call Teraflex and get their 3" lift, but get 4" front springs. Then get a front track bar as well.

Both kits are very comparable but the lack the front track bar which you will need to get if you want to get your rig to handle correctly.

 

How come no body talks about the FT premium kit that is between the economy and the ultimate kits?
Is it not shipping yet?
Quadratec has it listed on their site and it comes with 3" coils, front track bar, rear track bar bracket, non-adjustable lower control arms to adjust for the lift and so on.
This may be the way I go because its only $1089, which is $600 cheaper then the Ultimate kit at Quadratec.

 

I have the FT premium kit on order from my local speed shop for two weeks now. Got a call in tring to figure out when it is going to ship. The stock shocks are not going to work, so add another $200 to the price for shocks. On both the premium and Ultimate kits you will need new shocks.

 

will the dealership put the lift kit in with the sale of the jk? I might want to due that but I don't know. This will be the first time for me dealing with a dealership on something like this.

 

I'm pretty sure that will be up to the dealership, mine would have nothing to do with any aftermarket add-on....warning me that it would void my warranty. But they may have just said that because they were pissed that I screwed them on the deal lol. I got them to go $2k higher on my trade in, which I was already armed with KBB values, and then "remembered" that I was eligible for 1% under invoice pricing...and a big ol' helping of not buying the extended warranty on the side.....that was payback for not wanting to pay me for getting a stereo stolen while my car was being serviced years ago.

 

My dealer wants to see my jeep in all the build up steps. They are a die hard bunch and understand that it is a jeep. Of course I have bought 4 vehicals from them in the last 5 years and they know my wife wants a JK soon.
