If any of the following questions have been answered elsewhere on the forum could you please provide links. Iv only been able to find indirect answered that only touched on what i'm asking.

For a while I thought I had it figured out, I would simply buy a Rusty's Lift Kit with the shocks and springs. But then when I was doing some research into the Frankenlift I read comments like "Stock KJ suspension parts tend to vary and can cause a liberty to sit high or sag" well how can I tell if my KJ is High or Saging? Iv also gotten the impression from the forum that if a JK sits up high with stock parts it doesnt need a Full Kit, just spacers. Wouldnt it be better in the long run to use a full kit rather than just spacers, and wouldnt a kit like the Frankenlift be stronger than stock suspension? I want to understand as much as I can about lifting my KJ before I even drop a dollar on parts. Also as far as full kits goes, is Rusty's kit equal to the Frankenlift?

Im really happy with rusty's lift. It is stiff offroad. The coils are strong dont know which ones he uses. I had full gear in the back (gerry can, cooler, parts, clothes, tools, air compressor) and towing 2 jet skis when i went to indiana for a day of offroading and some water fun the rear coils did not even sag. The shocks on the other needs improvement i should of went with the ranchos but i went with rusty's shocks instead. The struts up front are strong rusty's uses OME struts. I prefer the coil lift cause if it does sag in the future or i decide i want more lift i would add smaller spacers or more spring isolators to get some more lift. Rusty will take out his shocks and take 50 dollars off if you decide you do not want his shocks. If you add Rustys .75" ($20) spacer to the front strut assembly it should equal the same height as the frankenlift.
