OME 2" lift seems to have the most fans as far as ride comfort. |

Skyjacker is notoriously soft. REALLY SOFT! Never ridden in one, but all the research I did before I bought my lift showed that the Skyjacker, while still a good shock, is like caddy soft. But if that is what you are looking for, then I would do it. Since you aren't going to wheel it, you most likely would want the Skyjacker anyway. Let us know if you get the skyjacker and how it is. 
Also: just saw Skyjacker is having a rebate on their shocks right now. Might help out. Save $35 on a set of shocks. |

X2 on the research showing the skyjacker to be really soft. If you are not going to use your Jeep as a Jeep, then don't bother buying the frankenlift, IMHO. If you really just want some posing, save yourself the most money and look into Daystar. It's a product with a decent rep. for the money. Be careful on tire selection. Make sure you get a P-series tire & not an LT. Your tire choice can make or break a soft ride. You need a car tire in a bigger size to get what you are apparently after. |

Make sure to post photos when done. You are getting what I want (I think) and it would be nice to see it installed. thanks |

Had to wait two weeks to get my Frankenlift with my tires sitting in my garage. I feel your pain. But like you said, totally worth it once your lift gets there, you finish the install and stand back and soak it in.
