used FT 3" economy lift
i have a lead on a used full traction 3" economy lift for $150. it comes with FT 3" coils, pro comp es3000 shocks and an es2000 SS, rear trac bar relocation bracket, rear bump stops, dropped pitman arm, front pro comp adjustable trac bar, and pro comp quick discos. i know the pro comp shocks ride like crap, i could replace those eventually. what else would be needed? its for an LJ by the way. anyone have experience with the FT 3" springs? thats the main thing really.

there are a ton of people on here running the FT 3" lift and i have yet to hear a bad thing about it (other than the discos being noisy which mine never have been)

I run the 3 inch and bought it used as well...

no problem with the lift very nice actually and as stated my discos were noisy so I wrapped them in electrical tape for the time being and was all better

thats the plan, if i do end up getting this. i'll for sure replace the pro comp shocks with something of better quality.

and the quick discos arent FT, they're pro comp. im kinda thinking about maybe doing a frankenlift and replacing bits and pieces.

I run the FT 3", Put over 20k on the springs and they are still at 3.5 settled. They flex great and the on rode ride is smooth. No sagging or anything like that. I run skyjacker hydro shocks with it and haven't had any problems. The only thing i added was fixed LCA's and JKS rear track bar. Other that the very complete, No vibes and no SYE yet. For $150 sounds like a deal to me, Id try and get it for $125 but thats me. Go for it, Look good on a LJ, Enough for 35's as is or a small BL, But 33's easy.
