assemble to get 2.5"-3"setup

dutch kj · **Posted:** Sat Mar 07, 2009 5:29 am

it's very difficult to ship a complete liftkit to europe (netherlands)
I want a frankenlift set up voor 2,5" -3" (kj 3.7L 2004)
I can get a ome lift in the netherland,but it's 2".
The price is 1496 us dollar :shock:

Now i go look, if i can get the parts order separately.
If i order rancho rsx 17505 front struts and rsx 17004 shocks.
and ome 927 H\D -ome 948 H/D.
What do i need more to get the lift?

I beleive the frankenlift comes with daystar top plates, as well as a poly spacer, i dont think you can order the spacer, but rustys offroad has the same one.

most here will tell you that you can get 2 1/2 to 3 inches with the OME set up and maybe a small clevis in front and an extra isolater in the rear. . The Franky will get you almost 4 inches, I believe. Someone is bound to come along now and correct me! :lol:

Exactly

Front - Rancho RSX 17505 + OME 927 HD coils - using the factory strut mount (not daystar top plates - will not increase the ride height), using the factory bottom and top spring isolators, factory clevis will give you 2.5", This is what I run on the front. Some increase the lift from 2.5" to just shy of 3" using up to 3 conduit nuts between the clevis and strut.(each nut adds 1/8").

I personaly didn't bother adding to the clevis lift since the 2.5" achieved by the struts and coils only is sufficient to run 245/75/R16 BFG TA KO with out rubbing.

Rear - I didn't do the OME 948 coil in the rear, though it is probably the better option. Add an extra spring isolator and you will get 2.5" easy, or so I have been told from trust worthy people. I personaly used the JBA-LIB25R coil from Jeepinbyal, with the single spring isolator I got 2.5", though with the amount of gear I have in the back of the truck I have been considering adding another isolator.

Be sure to add the bump stops to the front (teraflex 1903200), and rear (2-3 hockey pucks per side).

Hoi! Eindelijk nog een Hollander op LOST.

Ik had hetzelfde probleem, alles is heeeel duur in Europa.

Als je de bovenplaten van Rusty toevoegd aan je OME veren + een clevis lift dan krijg je zeker 3". Boulderbars wil alleen UPS verzenden en dan is je Frankenlift erg duur...Rusty verzend niet naar NL maar iemand op dit forum zal je daar zeker mee kunnen helpen.

For all you non Dutchy's

Hi! I had the same problem, everything is very expensive in Europe.

If you add the Rusty's topplates you'll get 3" for sure. Boulderbars only ships UPS and so a Frankenlift will be very pricy! Rusty doesn't ship to the Netherlands but someone on here will help you out for sure.

En je moet even langs de Gamma om een rubber hamer te kopen, je zal met de 17004 extra bumpstops moeten plaatsen om te voor komen dat de achterschokbrekers kapot gaan.

And you'll have to go to home depot to buy a rubber mallet to use as an extra bumpstop to avoid the rear shocks from bottoming out.

I was referring to rustys poly .75" spacer, not the OTT spacer.

also keep in mind if you order a Frankenlift from All Js in separate pieces they do not warranty it. Heather told me that last week since I ordered the shocks and springs then decided to get the rest of the hardware for the front.

If you have the diesel there is good news and not so good news.

Good News: The front diff sits lower so the angles on the control arms is great with normal OME lift.

Not So Good News: The drivers side CVJ Axle is much shorter than on a gasser...which limits the room for lift angles. The diff actually is more offset to the drivers side than a 3.7L Liberty/Cherokee.

All Js dont ship not anything to europe.

Somewhat a heard here,i can get the ome h/d coils and racho shocks.
Thats is what i can get in the netherlands.
The trut plates i can make them self ,with a lasercutter.
Now the lift on the rear,i can get the daystar spacers KJ09118.
Olso i can now get a daystar KJ09117BK for the front
This spacers can be used with ome springs?

some in dutch

Erg leuk om een nederlander te spreken op dit forum,
Ik zie dat je in spanje woont/werkt.
Heb zelf een caravan gehad in torroella de montgri.
In nederland is het erg moeilijk om aan onderdelen te komen.
Er zijn niet veel Kj off road liefhebbers.

You can only use the above mentioned .75" spacer, if you cram in a 2.5" spacer there will be way to much preload on the OME spring.

And I would get OME springs for the rear too!

dutch kj · **Posted:** Tue Mar 10, 2009 8:34 am

Oke if i use the ome springs with the 0.75 spacer,i will get 2.5"lift.
maybe with some clevis lift.
and at the rear ome springs and a extra top isolaters.(2 or 3?)
and rancho shocks or ome shocks.
i saw that all's products also have a europeen distributer , (Plein Air, Inc.)
let's hoop they can liver the frankenlift

If you use OME springs with a .75 puck and Daystar topplates (!!! very important !!!) you will get around 4" of lift on a gasser model.

You will get around 2,5" of lift from the springs alone...

And you can use a max of 3 isolators on the rear, so 2 extra.

Only add isolators on top of the spring!

i have a daystar liftkit.(not installed)
In the netherlands i can get the OME 927 h/d and 948 h/d springs.
Also the rancho rsx 17505 and rsx 17004.(the say it's not for the KJ the rsx 17004)
