Default TERAFLEX 3 inch VS. FULL TRACTION 3 inch lift?

Comments appreciated. I read a few threads with lit manufacturer questions. So here we go. Price is close by the way.

Customer support with tera is great. I had a busted brake line and they mailed me a replacement no questions asked. Control arms are a work of art, sits higher than 3''...and the bushings don't squeak (hah)..This is gonna be a hard one cause Full Traction is supposed to be pretty cherry too. I don't think you can go wrong either way. GLad to hear your upgrading!

With either kit you can't go wrong, but Teraflex gets my vote

I was in the same boat a couple days ago. I ended up ordering the Teraflex. I haven't received it yet, so I can't comment personally. My decision to go with Teraflex was based more on the comments from the full traction owners rather than comments from the Teraflex owners.

What I kept hearing is that Full Traction owners love their lifts. But the joints seem to require more maintenance and the coils aren't as good as other manufacturers (assuming they were refering to teraflex).

I think you could flip a coin though as it seems like both are quality setups with lots of happy owners.

One thing to consider is that Teraflex is here and really responsive on answering questions which is a huge bonus.

I love my fulltraction kit, it'll stuff the tires like no other lift on the market. it does require maintance, like greasing the joints at every oil change.

I've ran two Fulltraction lifts, both have been great kits.

I've watched the Fulltraction lift kit take a beating in rockcrawling comps for the last 4 years, Guess what, its the same kit, with the same bushings, same control arms. I'd like to see other production lift kits take that kinda abuse...

I have a few Teraflex components and the quality is great. For me, the fact that Teraflex maintains a presence on these forums, answering questions and giving advice... That goes a long way. I'd go with Teraflex.

I have read that the Teraflex long arm kit does not fit with the LOD sliders installed. WOL has the Full traction and LOD though so I may have to switch teams when I get to that point.

That being said I absolutely love my TF 2.5" coil lift.
