idk why the measurements are so different but i can tell you there is no shortage of lift in the front. It was the rear that i had to add 3 isos to, to try and clear the tires. Are you measuring from the center of the hub or from the bottom of the hub to the bottom of the flare?

Center hub to bottom of flare directly above the hub. Maybe they accidentally gave you Medium springs for the rear. :?


i don't think so because there was a little tag on it that said ome 948.

Well, if i got the jba 4" in the rear and i stayed at the same height i would still be ahead because i could add isos if needed. Right now i'm all iso'ed out. :lol:

I just want to see a pic of your rear springs in general, maybe a side shot of the tire's stance in the wheel well on flat ground. No tape measure required. :wink:

I think you got taken,no way are those OME 948's in the rear.The pic below is scouts KJ with the Frankinlift,we only added one extra rear isolator with his OME 948's and he is running 265/75 KM2's.

So you think all j's sold me the wrong springs? I should add that the pic above was taken just after i installed the 32" tires and about 9 months after i installed the lift, so do you think the springs could have just sagged after that time?

Here is what it looked like after the original install about a year ago with the 225/75R16 tires. Even then you can see the rear is a lot lower than the front.

Well, i think i might replace the rear with the jba 4" lift components. I like his customer service and he stands by his products.

x2

the rear for a frankenlift should sit WAY higher than that.. here is mine with one extra rear isolator.. 2 years after my lift and 16,000 miles on it (with 265/75/16's)

I'd call just to see what they say at east before I spent any more money. Couldn't hurt. Send them a link to this thread.
