the spacer lift it TERRIBLE!!!!! Not only did it destroy my suspention but it gave me no shock travel. and it was too soft. I would bottom out all day. Th simplest little bumps I would bottom out on. Save your money for the franken lift 2 premium. Even my mechanic said that it was an awsome looking lift in terms of quailty, engeneering and ease of the install. (It got too cold out for me to install it myself in the street). Get the frankenlift

I agree. Once you lift it, then start throwing extra weight in and on your Jeep, you really need those better springs, struts and shocks. The original ones just can't take the extra weight. Add to that the fact that most of the spacer lifts put a lot of pre-load on your front springs and struts, and they really wear out fast. If you're lucky. If not, you wind up like me and have a strut blow out as you're letting it down off the jack! Stay away from spacer lifts. They might be cheap but fixing the problems they cause isn't. Not to mention the added stability and control that you will get from the longer, stiffer springs. ;)

best move I ever made. Sorry I dont have pics. I didnt end up installing it. I'm kinda bumbed out about that too. but I measured and I did get a solid 3.5" in front and 3" in the back . I'm sure it will settle a bit but still it's a nice amount of lift. and I cant say enough about the ride. It's an amazing ride.
