Have seen that no extra was needed, but not so sure. Thought it might be good to ask before marching ahead. Secondly, seems that just letting Al's 4.5 uppers self clearance to be the idea vs cutting.
Thoughts appreciated.

not enough information, ARB will say no but depends on size of tires, what wheels / backspacing you are running etc. You may need bumpstops to keep your flares on. Cheap insurance. I cut my pockets out when I installed the 4.5s don't really care what others say I have not had one problem and neither has anyone else that we installed them in my garage. Would rather have some extra room then to have banging |

Tom here's what going on 245/70/17 Silent Armour 17 x 7.5 09 Rubi Moabs 6" backspace w/ Spidertrax 1.25 adapters So basically .25 less that 06 & down Moabs Franky II (has 1" rear Bumps) w/ Als 4.5s Bumpers and such will wiegh it down some front and back. How much did you cut the bottom of the pocket? Not a big fan boy of banging the arms to self clearance, figured a little advice was better than guessing. This rig is mostly a streeter with some medium offroad for hunting. The TJ gets the wheelin duty for the most part.

Stick your finger in the front pocket and you'll feel how far you can cut , it's only about a 1/4" lip to cut out. If you offroad very much, front extended Terea Flex bumpstops would be in order. Your stops should be at least equal to the amount you are lifted. |

KJ04 I'll check the front pocket, 1/4" should be a easy trim one would think. I understand that the Franky should yield about 2" of lift on the CRD, so 2" extended Teraflex front bumps should take care of that issue. Thanks for the input. It really is appreciated. 
I prefer to do things right once, than to find out later and have to redo a few things. |

Funny you mention that. 
Just was talking with Quinn at All J's. Mentioned that no additional bumpstop was needed on the CRD front with a Franky. Although he did concur with clearancing the pockets.
KJ04 I think this maybe CRD Franky specific, but thanks anyhoo. |

different thought processes for sure but I will not argue with someone who owns a mega 4X4 shop. BUT if it were mine I would have some bumpstops |

Tom There is no doubt that I will max flex it a few times, just to check for over compression and or contact. Cause ya never know, words are fairly inexpensive - breakage not so much.
