FTS 4" Lift on TJ
Hi,
Still trying to work out the exact route to 33" tires, is it
possible to install the Full Traction 4" lift kit with the supplied
transfer case drop hardware and run the existing slip yoke and
driveshaft as an interim before going to a SYE and CV driveshaft.
The original plan was OME 2" lift 1" Bodylift, but the
articulation will be far better with the FTS 4" configuration.
However the OME lift would have allowed me an interim period being
able to use the existing slip yoke/driveshaft.
Any help or comments will also be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Nick

A 3" lift would clear 33's, and be much more friendly that the 4"
would without SYE etc.

Yes, but you won't like it.

I'm not sure what knid of rig you're talking about here, however, where
lifts are concerned, time and time again I've seen folks go for a shorter
lift for expediency, etc., then regret it. (This is also the voice of
experience!)
Save your money for the SYE /driveshaft kit and do it all at the same time.
You'll likely also have to regear...to do it right is not cheap!

Re: FTS 4" Lift on TJ
I'm going to be putting a 4" lift on this weekend. With the drop tubes, I
shouldn't need an SYE kit should I? I'd like to go that route eventually,
but don't have the cash.
