Just put the finishing touches on partly replacing my Rough Country kit with the front only Frankenlift. I kept the rear setup (spacer plus springs) from the RC lift as it is a bit taller than most lifts I have seen (including Frankenlift). Overall the install went well. Had one minor issue of one of the bolts that is tacked to the upper strut plate on the drivers side strut was not perpendicular to the plate but rather had about a 5 degree tilt to it making it a challenge to install the assembly in the upper mount. However, I convinced it that it needed to go there. The ride is far superior to the RC kit. I really like the firmness of the springs and the RSX struts. It hasn't had time to settle yet, but it is at the same height that the RC was when I first installed it. I learned my lesson. Trying to save some bucks and going with inferior parts will bite you in the long run.

Welcome to the club. The only thing I have not completed is adding my Frankenlift sticker. I don't know where to put it. Any ideas?

I hear you on that one. It don't help the wallet any, but you're not alone.
