Question on spacer lifts

Get this...I talked to the dealer today and they eluded that if I put a Daystar spacer lift on...and it did not mess with the CV angles, it would not affect my warranty. Does that make any sense? These are the same folks who told me the Frankenlift would void the suspension part of my warranty AND any problems that could be lift related...(drivetrain stuff). So let me know what you guys think. Oh yea, does the Daystar spacer lift change CV angles?

Daystar will affect cv's the same as the franken lift. All of the current lib lifts affect cv angles even the POS 7" rock crawler.

They were correct that the Frnkenlift would void the suspension lift... oh wait that is because the only thing that will be left of the stock suspension will be the arms and ball joints (and they are crap bound to fail regardless) :twisted:

I would go for the franken lift again. As for drivetrain stuff, My CV's are fine, and mine has been lifted and locked front and rear for 4 and a half years now. I replaced one CV shaft since dealer said that was bad, but after tearing it apart, looked fine to me...

Overall, I think you would be safe with the frankenlift, just don't let the BF wheel it if he has to brake something...

Just my 2 cents... ok maybe more!

I don't hardly let the BF drive it to the corner store!! Forget about letting him wheel it!! I am just so dang frusterated with this whole situation. I want to lift it really bad....I got the bug. Especially after seeing all the great lift pics! I was hoping that maybe the spacer lift would work in the meantime...and not mess with the warranty, until Frankenlift. Guess waiting is the name of the game :cry:

One advantage to the FL is that should you need some warranty work, you could completely uninstall it and reinstall your stock parts... :twisted:

I won't tell them if you don't...hah.

Have you only been talking to one dealer? Perhaps try another, until you find one that is lift friendly.

If I ever have cv problems or anything like that then Im taking it off.

Bullet, My 1.5in ome lift did not change the cv angle much at all. If you look at yours right now, they are pointing up. Mine are pointing down just alittle more than that. But I do not think you want to spend $700 just for a 1.5in lift then get the franken lift later on. I love my mild lift, does great for the off roading that I do. If only I had enough money to get bigger tires?!?! :cry:
