The Frankenlift does not use the Daystar puck. It's a specialy designed puck. The regular Dyastar ones are to high.

How about no spacers and get some ofset rims...(cragar soft 8's come cheap in your part of the world)

I kinda hate spacers, sorry.

i also have another question. to fit a full size spare on the rear and have the glass open----how do you do it? just add a spacer and if so where would i get one? oh and i was going to get the general grabber at2's but for 40 bucks less per tire does anyone have the kumho road venture a/t kl78's and if so how are they.

what size tires are you going with? I have had 245-75-16s/ 265-70-16s hanging off the back and no problems hitting the glass

I ran the Kumho KL78s for a whilr good tire quiet on the road and good traction in snow.

Wheel spacers...don't really like them but if you get them get Spidertrax, the best

Rough Country has wheel spacers, a set of 4 for $120 plus shipping. That was where I got mine, but I recently sold them. 1.5" spacers. They are every bit as nice as the Spidertrax.

I just used some spare nuts I had laying around to move the spare out about 1/2". By the way, we need some pics of your Libby. Don't worry about trimming/pinch weld mods they are VERY simple and there are many good write ups on thei site of how to do it. NEVER feel like we are ignoring your questions or looking down on you for working with the import tuners. In my opinion all of your questions have been spot on and most people on this board are way cool and answer without berating as long as someone is not a d-bag troll.
So:
- Did you get your hitch aligned for all the hardware?
- Did you get your wiring set up okay?
- Where are you at with your lift?
- And once more PICTURES!!!!

yes i got the hitch problem fixed. i ordered all four ome springs last night, have the ranchos for the rear in the garage. the only thing left is the rancho 17505's for the front---only problem is trying to find someone with them in stock---on a couple of sites they say that they are being discontinued. still looking into it though. other then that just have to order the tires and put everything together. and for pics click on the www link at the bottom of my posts and it will link you to my cardomain

Good to see you are moving in the right direction. If you plan on doing ANY off road, i cannot recommend getting the skids ASAP enough. I had my Liberty 3 days and broke the front axel housing, warranty claim denied. That is a sting you don't want to learn first hand.

PS- your altima is super clean! I wanted to put 20's on the wifes accord, but had to settle with 17's, she didn't like the idea of "rubber bands" for tires. (her exact words)

thanks about the altima. so i found the rancho 17505's at jeepinbyal and ordered those. now i just have to wait to get everything and order the tires and put it all together. i think i have officially decided to go with the kumhos after pulling a brett farve and changing my mind 20 times.
