Haven't heard of anyone using the JBA 2.5" kit yet. Dare to be different, and be the first .

The JBA lift seems to be a better deal than the Franky. Comes with everything you need, including JBA a-arms. Might get more lift out of the Franky.

the JBA lift installation PDF show it to be a Skyjacker so is it just the A arms making the difference in cost?

JBA's you need to assemble the strut towers your self.
Fankenlift, they come done for you.

I would stay with what works for us. Like some one said abouve, Dare the be the first and report back to us.

That is true. But if it is a Skyjacker I wouldn't bother.

Any updates to this? Anyone used a JBA lift yet? The A-arms add over $300 to the kit. I was looking at the lift only and it came to around $700ish. That's a bit cheaper than the frankie I was pricing ($900-$1,000). How hard is it to assemble the strut tower?

not that hard to assemble, most of mine I take to a local shop 20 minutes later they are done and ready to install.
OME springs Rancho shocks can be had for 650/700 as well
