Right now I am only at 21 inches in the front (center wheel to flare). I need to lift my front end another 2 inches. What is the best way to this. I was going to get a 3/4" poly spacer (with daystar upper mounts). I am going to add a front bumper very soon. OME Medium Duty springs Small Clevis Lift Stock UCAs If I go this route, what is the best way to remove the studs from the stock upper mounts and transfer them to the daystar ones. I dont have a shop press. Will a BFH do the job?? |

Scrap the OME meduim coils,get the HD ones.Scrap the stock UCA's,get JBA's. If you plan on getting a front bumber you will need the HD coils,add the Ruxty's 3/4" poly spacer and Daystar top plates and you will be sitting high. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO POUND THE OLD STUDS OUT OF THE TOP STRUT PLATES!!!!!!!!!!!(get your attention?) Best bet is to get new bolts and tack weld them into place,they are 1/2"(or 13mm) bolts and use grade 8 or metric 10.9 bolts and nuts. |

I think I get OME HD and add a strut spacer. Do I have to change the studs on the upper strut mount when I add a spacer. |

The daystar plate allows the coil over to droop more which reduces pre-tension in the spring.. Makes it easier to compress the spring with the spacer in it.. Just know that it also gives UBJC which is why the Franken lift has that poly bumpstop.. |
