Woot! I got my new Frankenlift installed today! The Jeep looks and rides so much better. Left for Colton, CA yesterday after work, stayed the night and had the crew at All Js install it this morning. Definitely worth the drive. Very nice people who know what they are doing. He test drove it, made sure there were no squeaks or anything like that, and we are very happy with the lift. Now it just needs tires (and skids, and lights, and locker...oh never mind). I'm very very happy with the KJ. It's like a new car. Better pics coming tomorrow.

Nice. My Libby will be paid off in a couple of years. Then I get to do mods like that (the boss wont let me now because she's says I buy cars like TP--I keep telling her that I love my Libby and am not getting rid of it. In fact, when it's paid off she wants a 4 door Wrangler. So we'll have two Jeeps!)

Glad to hear that the rails got there okay. Nope, not much tread left on them. I'm looking at options now. Really considering going with the Moabs and MT/Rs. Some other possibilities are ProComp or BFG.

Yes, it is woodland brown. I love it. Pretty rare color. We were originally supposed to get Patriot Blue, but they had this one in stock and we liked it.

Why do all Frankelifts sit higher in the front than the back? Are they expecting you to run a heavy bumper? Mine looked like that too until I pulled it off the truck.

Not to sure? You can get extra pads to put above the rear spring and lift the rear higher. Each pad lifts it a 1/2in..

I think it's why they started selling that spacer... The rear spring isolator from Mopar is only $10 each though, which works great. one should do.

That looks really nice desertkj! I like that color too. Must be the grandfather of the Dark Khaki color.
