The Frankie seems to be about the best lift so far. What are the draw backs to it. I have read that it doesn't create any problems AND that it does create problems. Terry |

-You may not be able to get the alignment back in specs without Al's arms. -It creates upper balljoint contact that is fixed with a 'pad'(that it comes with) or Al's upper arms. -Its a tall lift so the cv angles are kinda steep. |

The CV angles are what I heard of. Is it acceptable or not? Terry |

From what I've read - when folks 1st install it the CV angles look bad - but if you then wheel it hard - it comes back down enough to be okay. |

10,000 miles on mine and it's flawless with stock a-arms... wouldnt give it up for the world  the only draw back i can think of is the higher price tag than other lifts.. but i think you get what you pay for..

No one seems to have any problems with the CV's.. Alot of people run that lift and put tons of miles on it.. That or they just dont say anything about it. |
