Lift kit opinions
I am sure this has been covered in excess, but I really need some input here. I am seriously considering the Full Traction premium 3" kit with the shock upgrade. Here's a link to it. Opinions anyone?

I recommend that you do a search in these forums. There seems to be allot of issues with quality control. I remember hearing mostly annoying things. But, I also remember reading about allot of worn out joints.
I have a Clayton Offroad kit, so I cannot comment from first hand experience.

Look for opinions of those with the kit; they will be able to tell you more than someone running a different lift and not be biased.
I dont know if I'd go as far as saying "allot of issues" regarding FT.. that said, I personally would not want them after reading their warranty compared to someone like Clayton.
Definitely check out the comments regarding RE. I think I have read more negative comments about them than anyone else.. even from WOL recently although he covered to say he was not sure if the problems have been corrected.
TF is a very active sponsor here and many many people seem to like their products.

The FT premium kit looks like a pretty straight-forward install. The write-up on the Project JK site gave it great reviews. I need to look around for some write-ups on the Teraflex kit. As of right now it looks like it's gonna be the FT kit.

Whatever you decide, make sure the kit has everything you need. I read about more folks that buy kits then buy additional parts their kit didn't come with. I like TF myself.picking up a 4" lift this summer
