How is the lift working out?
I just swaped my rusty's lift in the front for a Franken lift II. the old lift ate up the upper strut mounts for some reason. I am not sure if it was my install or the shocks (I suspect the shocks). Any way the new lift seems real nice. I had already changed out the rear shocks for Ranchos last summer.

Just through the mud and ruts on my road. The Liberty handles the ruts and holes alot better. My only theory on the upper brackets is that with the extreme cold we get the struts were so stiff they just drove the strut up through the mounting. After the third one it was time to change. the upper bracket on the Franken II looks much stronger than the stock ones.

This weeks warm weather will thaw the road, the mud will be deeper, so I'll look for the big holes to "test" some more.

the yard is half Grass and half snow now!

Spring is here.

So far My Frankenlift II is doing awesome. I am happy that I went with the big boys and did the job rite the first time.

I also bought a full set of moab rims 2 weeks ago. Now I just need to buy the 245's. This weekend I will be pounding my pinchers. I hope to have my moabs on with skins some time next week.

Cant wait to strut my stuff in a sweet looking KJ rig.

Yeah but with all my "practice" I can do a front lift in 3 hours including putting spring compressors on the front springs so they will come out after the strut comes out of the upper plate! So I am almost a pro :lol:
