Opinions of the full traction 3.5 long arm lift...probably going with the fox shocks but not dead set!!!

I've been urging people to buy this kit for years now but I've never seen it done. it looks like such an awesome kit! and it keeps you at a nice low and manageable 3.5" lift. and you don't have to spend $300 on a steering kit since you're so low. it's the makings of a great builder kit. my only gripe is that it doesn't come with a cross member. but it allows you to build a custom belly pan that remains separate from the suspension if you can.

if I was ever to buy a bolt on builder kit, it would have to be this

Atmos...that's the kit I'm looking at buying!! I was curious as to why there is no crossmember...figured it must be fine without!! I am thinking I might as well upgrade the steering while I'm at it,not sure which yet...took me quite awhile to finally make a decision on the full traction kit!!

Trying to collect everything for the transformation of the good ole girl I'm sure like others have found out this will be a never ending transformation...LOL!!!

Are they able to do just the necessary hardware for the arms? I've already got 3.5+ on the front and was looking at ditching my short arms for long arms. If they've got a competitive price for just the arm assembly I'm sold.

Atmos

They do sell just the arms. But if you're just doing a long arm upgrade by itself you're much better off getting something that comes with a good crossmember. And if you want a good xmember it's gonna be Seriousoffroad or T&T. Gotta protect that tcase

Really good choice. Especially if you're in SoCal. They really test their kits.

LOL...not even close!!! Back east...was in Vegas for 20 years but came back home and I'm now starting over with my 97!! Collecting parts and reading up as much as possible...looks like we may actually be FINALLY saying good bye to winter so I can get started with the transformation!!

I'm going to give Full Traction a call on Monday and ask them a few questions mostly about the lack of a new crossmember but I have a feeling they have done their R&D and will make me feel comfortable!!

I just meant that if you're in SoCal you can visit their shop and see how they make stuff. Lots of good stuff. They have some of the strongest kits out there.
