Build your own Frankenlift? Where to get the stuff, part #s?

incucrash · **Posted:** Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:58 pm

Hello, I am considering buying the OME Lift kit from quadratec located here:

http://www.quadratec.com/products/76090_51X_PG.htm

Is this the same items in a frankenlift with the added "Proprietory Poly parts, Strut Top Plates, ,rear extended bump stops"?

What is used and where to get them?

Is there a money savings or should I stop being cheap and go frankenlift? lol

Frankenlifts are built from parts that only AllJs have and use, they have their parts special made.
What you have listed is just 4 springs and 4 shocks basically
Look at what JeepinByAl has
all of this has been posted before but
what you need is 4 springs most use OME 927 fronts, OME 948 rears if you want a little cheaper Bilstein makes an excellent shock and 4 shocks from them and 4 springs will set you back about 700
also need front bumpstops from Teraflex and can use hockey pucks for the rear
Think about how you're going to use yours, and what height you want to go

Thank you we appreciate your business :wink:

no - it's 15493 - and I know he's talked about other things
- so not more than 1/2 can be 'what lift do I use?'

Someday I going to post up "what I think and what is the most used " as far as lifts and make it a sticky for sure.

Sadly, making a topic a "sticky" won't make people read it... :roll:

It'll serve the same purpose as the SEARCH button.

You know everytime I just suggest someone read through and search to someone looking at lifts, there are always one or two that jump me for not being kind and gentle enough with the OP.
So trying to keep peace in the family I write it all out for them.
Of course someone else comes along and says I'm a know it all, :ROTFL:

So you know what?
I'm going to just keep on keepin' on with what I been doing.
It keeps me from drinking ( well most of the time) :ROTFL:
