Thanks!

^ yo have any binding with that pippobug? My CRD is just frankenlifted, but ive twisted it up and want to bring it up as high as possible without any binding issues. Also, did the boiler plate go in without any issues? I was told the frankenlift bolts arent long enough to get enough thread into the boiler plate safely...

You can't run them safely bolts are not long enough , I mean you could but very few threads holding it on and I would never trust it to hold long term

I am not sure what you mean by binding, yes I have a knock fron the front, but it's from the stabilisers bar at the front that is now all pushed up. Binding against the spring? I don't think so, at least I haven't seen any scuffs/damage yet against them.

Yes I have fittend the boiler plate 3/8 and it fits, according to the mechanic there are enough treads on the bolds to keep it in plance. Also just to be clear I re used the original top plates from the KJ for my front struts (NS131 + 790). I have to admit the KJ has gone up more than I expected so I will see how it goes for now, but I might take the Boiler top plate off and lower it, will end up loosing I think 1 inc and I can live with that. For now I have done nearly 1000 mls, no offroad yet so I will decide in another 1000 mls if to take off or get new top and drill out and put longer Bolts in just to be safe (

The KJ is my DD so I need it to work and be safe on the road.

I was at 18 flat and it was a HUGE difference with just OME +JBA UCAs. Getting in the jep now takes a step up and feels more like a jeep now. Oh and the ride is great compared to what it was when I bought it, and a world of difference from what it was right before the lift.

No measurements quite yet, but then again I did just get the lift today.

06 CRD limited

Frankenlift 2 premium and im at 21 and 1/4 at all 4 corners with the drivers side rear being a hair lower then the rest. Safe to take it about an inch higher? I think so :twisted:

Muddlift X Superpremiumcalafragilistic :BANANA: (see sig)

Rear-right at about 23"
Front-closer to 22.75" (going to add that last conduit nut eventually)

Wondering how to get some more height if it settles an inch or so like some others :idea:
