I have been debating over these two kits. I'm looking at the 6" kit for a 97 XJ. I have heard that radius arm style lifts put the axle in a bind and dont handle so well on the road. But the FT kit hangs a bit lower and has heims on one end. Anyone have any advise on either?
it really depends on what type of suspension you're looking for. If you prefer the radius arm then go with tnt, if you want a 4 link (with trackbar) then go with FT. In a perfect world with perfect suspensions a 4 link would outperform a radius arm. But radius arm setups are harder so screw up so they seem to be more popular with mass producers. For what it's worth I have heard good things about both kits. Hope that helps. Oh and I have never heard anything about radius arm setups riding bad on the road.
