$2300US would be close to $2900 Canehdian and brokerage to ship here would be roughly another $300.... not to mention shipping and taxes.
There wouldn't be any money left for bigger tires anyway :roll:

I thought we had established that a frankie is almost the exact same height as a JBA 4" lift back around page 2?

OK im sad,

Iknow at times Im not playing with a full deck and yes it was said that a Franki is as much as a 4incher, but that is my point.. then why buy another 4 incher? or is my age getting to me :shock:

yep same amount of lift, twice the price. Makes perfect sense.

Not trying to knock the JBA kit, but IMO it isn't worth the money. Same opinion for the 6 incher. Four times the price and still be able to run the same size tires as a Frankie...

Advantage of the JBA 4" lift.......top of the line components and no spacer.

Is it worth the cost? That is an individual decision. To get the Frankenlift the same height, you also need to also do a clevis lift.

I do not have all of the plates, provided by JBA for the front strut assembly, installed. Once I get the ROCK LIZARD FRONT BUMPER, I will be able to add a plate or two to keep my height. You can't do that with the Frankie. If I had them all installed right now, I would be maxed out and would suffer badly while off-roading.

Not to mention you get amazing flex from it also,much more then what a Frankinlift will,and yes I'm taliking about the front also.Eibach coils are used in the JBA kits,guaranteed for life unlike the Frankinlift's OME coils which looses all the warranty from the addition of the spacers.

My Frankie is at 50.5" outside edge of he mirror on 265's with no clevis lift.

Yes you do gain additional articulation with the JBA, but since the KJ is an IFS you don not gain much traction without an SFA to apply pressure. And lastly you loose the OME warranty, but All J's covers the warranty themselves. So yes IMO it is a great kit, but I can't justify jumping from $851 to more than 2 grand...

Nail on the head. A whole lot more cash for not nearly enough benefits for me. And for reference I am at 49 3/8" passenger side and 49" even driver with 31s.

So if the JBA 4 is the same height as the Franken, can I just get the JBA 4" rear coils instead of the OME and pads? I don't want any spacers.

Hmm, I guess I will just have to buy them and see how they fit.
