Looks too good to be true. It has the price of the Daystar, but doesn't compress your springs.

T-total junk
If you like replacing UCAs, etc then buy it, you'll be getting what you pay for
I have a set in the garage that came with my used ARB back in 2005. I won't sell them or even give them away due to issues they cause. The kid that had the ARB on his went through several UCAs, etc over a years time and they finally sold me the ARB and gave me the parts telling me there was no way to lift a KJ. Of course I knew the correct way to lift one. :wink:

How would this be worse than the Daystar?

Everything Tom said plus Poor Customer Service.

I ran it for about a year. Talk about the worst year of my life! Don't bother. Spend the money on armor, gas, tow hooks, anything else but that rro spacer lift.

I was in the same position a year ago, thinking that it seemed like a reasonable deal and “I really don’t need some crazy lift on my KK anyway” since I was just getting into going out on trails, etc.

I talked to a few people on the forums and even local shops and got all negative comments about it. Decided to just save for a while more and get an OME 3” lift, which isn’t that much more.

Great decision. My friends/family/GF thank me because it rides better, my KK thanks me because it was an upgrade (not a downgrade of parts), and I thank myself because it was a great decision to buy once, cry once.

Ok I get it. You're basically adding extra weak point(s) of potential failure.

So, does anyone sell a front strut and coil spring assembly already with extra length and already pre-assembled (so as to avoid the need to compress springs?

jeepinbyal will compress and have iot ready to install along with AllJs with the Frankenlift
really not hard to remove them and take to a shop to have them do it, most places charge like 30-40 bucks or so
