You can tell in all of 10 seconds of looking that the Full Traction system is junk. Look at those cheap thin coils!! They are even worse than the SkyCrapper coils lots of us have!

Then look at the cheap $10 shocks they include.


Sorry to say, but if it doesn't use reservoir shocks, it's not high-end. Emulsion just can't cut it.

For "real" suspension, try KORE, Carli suspension, Desert Racing Concepts, Lorenz industries, DT ProFab, or some custom pieces from Thuren Fabrication.

Then just about anything would work, I'd think.

I got my SJ D25 coils for only $139 for the pair-- not bad just to level it out.

J......easy there dude, TOO much cowbell. Trust me...

Scarecrow, by the looks of that kit it might ride better off road. If you're looking for additional ride height, you can get it there, but your truck will ride like on the street. The coil spacing and the add a leaf set up will rattle your teeth loose.

Since it does appear that you're after off road performance, what are you looking for? Just increased ride height or are you concered about ride quality at all?

Justin is right about one thing (in so many words), you get what you pay for.

there not coil spacers..its a replacement 5 inch coil...and i would like to add 4 to 5 inches...ride quilaty is really not a major concern...i am use to trucks w/8,10,12 in springs so i am sure that tuff country kit will ride better than that...i like the price tag on the tuff country kit..plus it has the full replacement rear block and add a leaf so i can still put some weight in the bed if i need to..and from what i have read the track bar bracket is top notch....
