I will be installing kjjames' frankenlift and warn bumpers on my rubicon.

Stop by if you can! PM me for directions to my house if needed.

This one was a royal PITA, but we got it done around 5 PM. Who's next?

Which one was a pain? Frankenlift, or the bumper?

The frankenlift was the pain.

It seems like a pre-settled lift is just a pain to get aligned with the clevis. When I replaced my strut a few weeks ago, it was a breeze and I was able to do it by just removing the clevis, removing the assembly, replacing the strut and reinstalling. Must be becuase my springs have settled. With James' new kit, we ended up dropping the LCAs just like I had to do when my kit was new. PITA.

Also, that brake relocation bracket for the '06 models is less than a great solution ... :roll: I've got some ideas I plan to share with Quinn about how he could make it better.

Maybe they'll call you back... I've given up on them.
