I say go Old Man Emu IMO it rides better than rustys full coil lift and you can still run 245/75 on the OE wheels OH yeah I have never seen the skyjacker lift for the KJ so I dont know about it I do have skyjacker springs and shocks on my TJ and I like the way they ride but skyjacker likes to use poly bushings poly bushings SUCK so if you can avoid them at all cost I can only get about 1000 miles or maybe 3 trail rides out of a set of LCA bushings |

Rusty's coil lift with the rancho rear shocks = Best bang for the $$. |

wow, got some response on this topic. I have been thinking that if I am going to lift my KJ, I want to do it once. and don't want to was time and money on "other Brands" and wright. You guys out here have lifts, and I want to get you thoughts. keep them coming please and make me decide. I have been thinking about this for over a year now, and want to choose a product. so far I am leaning towards the Frankenlift... I had the skyjacker on my 95 YJ and it was ok but had problems with is makin loads of noise. |

In my opinion I think the frankenlift at $1k is more bang for the buck than Rusty's. You just con't beat OME components. Yeah I know Rusty's uses a few OME parts but they were not built for the lifted Liberty like the Frankenlift OME parts were. |

Get the rusty's if you plan on replacing it in 3months because the springs sag. |

Read up on the OME springs etc, go to the ARB site, it discusses the springs they use etc. They develop a "suspension system" to make the vehicle handle all types of terrain, not just to lift it Tom |

I also like the OME suspension but I have been using the Rustys springs on the front since Christmas and they are doing fine. The OME front springs didnt lift it enough and a Lost member recommended the rustys springs for the front. Ive had them Offroad twice with the Midwest Group and they are not sagging at all. I know they do if you have a winch or bumper though. I have OME for everything else. |

Skyjacker Struts are complete GARBAGE, if you can go with OME struts and springs (highly recommended). |

All lifts out there have there good and bad points, overall the frankenlift is by far the best of all the ones due to springs struts and general parts, but I have tried different rear springs just to see how they do, I have had the stock springs with a 2.5 inch puck, rode just like stock of course, I have a set of Heavy Duty OMEs that handle well, ride in winter is somewhat stiff but still good, great when I am pulling a trailer, or extra loads, Rustys are on right now, too lazy to switch back to the OMEs, but when you hit a bump you can fell more bounce/ more give in them which I dont like. Some may like the cushy Caddy like ride but too me way to soft and mushy So just some observations Tom |
