Okay, I have the Franky Premium II. After adding the bumper I lost an inch of lift. So I added the clevis lift using 3 conduit nuts and got back the inch. Then came the winch and lost an inch again! Not happy about that! What can I do now to get my inch back? ATTN: Tom....no comments about my inch either! :lol:

CRD HD OME 790 front coils will solve all your problems.. you'll regain the height you lost (you can prob. eliminate the extra clevis you added as well) and the ride quality and handling will be much better too.... and someone will buy your old 927's in a second.. so it's not very expensive to swap them... just a lil dirt on your hands taking apart all the suspension.

also fulltimer.. what'd you do with your old 3.73 gears?

No you can't have them! :lol: I'm keeping them in case I break a 4.10. The 4.10's are harder to find than hens teeth!

Terry, it's HARD not to say anything but this time...... :wink:

I would go with the 790s I think, have to tear it apart anyways, may as well do it with springs and be done

Oh and its a tight fit but you can fit a 1/4 spacer like Rustys sells for a 1/2 inch of extra lift. Like I said its tight but has been done to at least one Franky that I know of :wink: , no matter what some sitting in my garage said :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Loose the steel cable on the winch.I only lost about 1/4" of lift after the ARB/winch install and did a small clevis lift to gain it back and never lost any since(3 years and still the same height).Though I'm not running OME coils either.

I guess CRD springs is the answer. Who has the best price?
