| Post subject: | need info on changing lifts |
I was wondering how much more lift I would get out of an OME lift or a Frankenlift over the daystar lift I have now? I just need some reassurance before I buy a new lift and spend the money twice that I will be happy. |

OME HD coils gives around 2.5in of lift with the franken lift giving around 3"+. |

Perhaps you should be more concerned about a better driving KJ on and off the road rather than overall lift height:) |

The OME should actually be a little lower the Daystar is a full 2 1/2" over stock spring length OME lists as 1 1/2" but normally is more - because the springs you are replacing are normally sagged some. Frankenlift will be the highest - OME + spacer. OME should give the best ride. |
