I am in the market for a long arm susp. for a 04 unlimited.

my research is leading me towards Full Tractions system. Does anybody have pros/cons for any 6" systems?

Are you dead-set on a 6" lift kit?

Absolutely not. The only thing Iam set on is a quality lift.

My reason for 6" lift is to accomidate a 35" tire.

You might also check out the Teraflex LCG kit. I think it is the best kit on the market now and have several customers that agree. It is a 4or5 inch. kit and requires a one inch. body lift. http://www.teraflex.biz/index2.htm http://www.stagewest4x4.com/store2/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4678

I would agree with Joel. There are a few long-arm kits on the market, but the LCG kit is worth ever penny and then some. I've ridden / drove about 5 different types and the difference is night and day!

I have the Rubicon Express 3.5 in. SuperFlex kit and am very happy with it. Full Traction also has a good reputation. Their kit eliminates the rear track bar but as a result, costs more.

By far the best long arm kit is Full Traction, their engineer is considered the best in the industry.

The only other susp. for 35" tires is the Currie J-arms, but it´s not bolt on.
