Default Soft cushy shocks for lifted JK's?
Of the shocks that you can get with the Full Traction lifts, which of the two would be the softest? and .. are their any other 2.5-3.5" lifts that are known for a soft ride. Thanks, Matt

I can't speak for the Full Traction products, but Skyjacker Hydros have always seemed "soft" to me on my other Jeeps.

get the M-Force..

I had the Hydraulic Shocks then switched to the M-force on my Ultimate Lift, it was a very noticeable difference....

It went from a stiff ride, to a very smooth ride....

The Teraflex shocks are pretty nice. Firm, but not harsh. It's hard to compare them to anything else without using the others on the same vehicle.

LOVED the OME shocks on my TJ. HUGE difference in the 1hr commute I have.

Ditto!! I've run the gamut of shocks and can tell you that the M-Force shocks are some of the best around and will provide a very nice comfortable ride. In fact, I run them on both my TJ and JK now because of it

So is it safe to say that you all would recommend the FT lift over the Terra Flex lift for softness and quality.. its just a bit more $$$...
and what is up with the new RE 3" lift.. any info or links to that..
