I have to agree here. I am kinda like TJKJ02, 03CDKJ and tommudd. I have pulled mine apart more times than I can count. The more you look at it, try different things, and understand what works and doesn't, the better off you are, and the more you understand and can give true feedback/advice to other forum users.
They almost always recommend to use Rancho Shox, OME Springs - not a Frankie. Then add a top plate, conduit nuts, and maybe a KK clevis fork to maximize height. But many people would rather have a pre-assembled package. That is what the Frankie is good for. In any market, people pay extra for ease of use. But you can get the same height in this case if you are willing to do some work yourself.
As far as the Frankie not fitting, that varies from one vehicle to the next just as TJ said. Heck, I could barely get mine back together with just a Daystar spacer lift the first time I did it. Then after a few more times of pulling everything apart and back together, I learned some of the tricks that worked on mine, and it was so much easier. Then I built my own "Frankie"-like setup. And now I am sitting as tall or taller than anyone else on here (excluding SFA) and I did not spend $1000-$1350 to do it. Would it have been easier to just buy a Frankie and Al's UCAs? Sure. But I enjoy trying things on my own.
And sure sometimes these guys that have been on here forever, and have done a ton of lifts, may sound a little blunt, arrogant, short tempered, etc... But that is just their personality, and most times it is because they are repeating the same answers to the same questions that have been posted literally hundreds of times. Just get a little thicker skin and recognize the sarcasm in their posts. They usually have good advice. And they will try to steer others in the best direction depending on that person's ability, and budget. There IS a search feature. Don't forget that too.
OK. I'll step down off my soap box now.
