Full Traction Ultimate 4" Lift System - Reviews

	97 jeep wrangler 4 inch ultimate full traction lift
	Date: Apr 30, 2012

	It might just be the way I drive but I've had the worst luck with this lift both rear control arm bushings are blown they slam every time I hit the gas the front passenger control arm fell apart I had to weld the adjustable part to the tube. It makes constant noises. The rear tri link setup slams and all the bushings are blown. The only positive thing I have to say is it flexes pretty good

	Terrible Service Super Slow Delivery

	Ordered lower front control arms (broke One) upon ordering was told they would get out to me parts ordered 3 weeks ago, called early last week monday or tuesday and was told they would check production and e-mail or call me back, neither happened nor did the parts arrive. Sent kind of a nasty Gram when leaving for 4th of july weekend and leaving my jeep behind. No call, no contact, seems they dont care. Finally cancelled order. Beware if ordering from full traction be prepared at least a month.

	The new Silent Ride System (SRS) is awesome!

	My 3" JK Long Arm is nothing but quality. The new Kevlar lined FK Chromoly HEIMS and Clevite factory OEM bushings make this kit 100% Maintenance Free. That's right NO LUBRICATION!!! I've had it on my JK for the last 1.5 years and have over 45K miles on it. By far the best ride quality I've ever had in a JK. Oh I've owned a few JK's. 1 with a Teraflex kit that was the worst QUALITY Ive ever seen in fact the brackets tore my frame apart. I've also had an AEV kit that is nothing but a bunch of brackets. Both of them absolute junk IMHO. Not it's time for me to upgrade to the new Full-Traction CRC-LINK. I've seen it work in person at Easter Jeep Safari this year. By far the most innovative product for the Jeep JK in a long time. Thank you Full-Traction Suspension for changing your bushings to OEM rubber. This kit hands down can't be beat.

	Horrible
	Date: Mar 08, 2011
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Gypsum, CO)
	It pops, creeks and makes a lot of noise. One of lower control arms pulled a part on me. All bushings are junk have replaced them all once and they need it again. Sounds like a 72 Ford Dump truck going down the trail. Every time I go out wonder if I will be walking home.

	The worst lift for the price...ever
	Date: May 29, 2010
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (California)
	I sold my 4" full traction lift for my JK Wrangler. It was so loud and squeeky, everyone kept asking "whats wrong with your Jeep". The Bushings are cheap and went out fast, and replacements went bad also. The customer service is so bad, that you have a better chance of getting Obama's birth certificate than getting your problems handled with this company. Very low quality lift for the price; about the same as Rough Country or Rancho - just twice the price. Stick with a quality lift like Teraflex, Currie, or Rock Krawler.

	Creaky and stiff
	Date: Oct 31, 2008
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Seattle, WA)
	Problems with getting the kit first and foremost. Full Traction claimed they were waiting on the supplier for the bushings in the kit. Overall it took 7 weeks to get to me. When I got the kit the bushings for the shocks were not pressed in, after calling full traction, all I got was attitude and a remark that they should've been pressed in. The rep also said if I wanted to send the shocks back and press them in I could do that. Yea, I'm gonna send them back and wait another 7 weeks and pay shipping because you screwed up. I gave attitude back and ended up having to rig them in via bench vise. Not a fun time. Also, the tri link that was the whole selling point is flawed in design. I've read other posts on how to modify the bracket on the frame to accomodate it. The problem which causes the very annoying creak with ANY suspension movement at all is the bushing that mounts to the Jeep frame being squished and bulging out where the link mounts on the drivers side of the vehicle because the link hasnt been designed correctly. I would stay away from this kit and anything else from full traction due to the rude, poor customer service and the fact any kind of design flaw would never exist because of their perfect, better than you attitude. There are plenty of other kits that take your jeep up 4 inches and I'm sure have better service.

	3 Link short updrade is well worth it
	Date: Aug 21, 2008
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Las Vegas, NV)
	I have the three link upper conversion on my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and I love it. It flexes great. The wheel travel is limited by the rear sway bar. There is no binding because the kit allows you to remove the rear track bar. The price is descent seeing how you would have to buy upper adjustable control arms and a new track bar if you stayed with the stock set up. I would buy this kit again.

	4" Ultimate Short Arm kit installed for a year now on '06 Rubi Unlimited and still drives straight, tracks true. As with any lift full of heim joint articulation, the pops come and go. Greasing the rubber joint helps limit squeeking. Springs are stiff, but now that side steps, bumpers, skid plates, tire rack and roof rack are in place the suspension appears properly pre loaded. M Force shocks offer good rebound control, but seem stiff in damping of nuisance pot holes. I frequently run my Jeep loaded full of equipment, and recommend this kit for anyone who hauls lots of gear for themselves and others... Rear may sag! Only issues of concern, the articulation of the rear axle and truss allowed enough movement to crush the exhaust pipe. Cut it off after muffler to solve the problem. Front sway bar disconnects are noisy and difficult to engage. This kit will keep your tires on the ground and rocks where they should be!

	Squeaky but stoute
	Date: Nov 07, 2007
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Crowley, LA)
	My lift squeaks like the other guys mentioned. That does suck but the lift handles business otherwise. My buddy has a rubicon express long arm and he gets noises too so i cannot say if this is not to be expected.

	Creep & Squeak
	Date: Oct 10, 2007
	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Fairfax, VA)
	Out of the box, a great improvement! Nice ride and good articulation. HOWEVER, after only 5,000 miles squeaks started appearing! (Regularly greased) The big surprise is when I took the hiem joints apart they were dry! This is because there is no passage for the grease to follow to the ball. It only greases the urethane bushing directly under the grease fitting! VERY poor design. Looking into replacements >:(

	No splinter cell

	Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Minneapolis, MN)
	Running the 4" ultimate on my 04 Rubicon - this product stinks. Very creeky and squeeky. I've never heard so much noise out of a suspension. I've had it taken apart and regreased three times. FT refuses to acknowlegde their design problems. Going down the trail or my street, everyone knows I'm coming. Would not recommend.

	Honestly for a four inch short arm kit I didn't expect this. Off road it's a dream but on road I can do 75-80 down the freeway and hold the steering wheel with two fingers! Installs clean Amazing! See ya in the rocks
