Why is the frankenlift better than my ome hd springs and rancho struts? Also when my tire drops into a small crack in the road it kind of clunks? I know ur suppose to expect noises right after the lift, is this one? Also I have bent right front knuckle, is that somethig I can replace myself? And I will certaintly need new alignment after that, or should I just have the mechanic whose doing the alignment do it? Wheel spacers, if I put them in the back only, will I have issues?

Thanks,
Andrew

not sure why the franky is better other than it comes assembled, the clunk you hear may be your A arm/balljoint contacting the side of the strut/spring assembly, and as for the spacers i dont think that would hurt any, it may look a bit off but nothing detrimental. others may chime in if i am wrong

I actually ran my Lib with only the spacers in the back for a few weeks or so out of sheer laziness before I got off my booty and did the necessary trimming in the front wheel wells to prevent the rubbing. Didn't cause any issues, and suprisingly enough you don't really notice the difference looking at the truck unless head on.

I noticed that the front wheels wanted to push when turning / understeer when I just had spacers in the rear
