I've got a Front ONLY Frankenlift Premium II coming in the mail and I need to finish up the rear lift.

For the rear I plan to run: OME948 springs. Just need to know what specific shocks are alright to use now that Rancho's are out?

Also, in addition to the above lift, what can I add to it without making the CV's mad? Conduit nuts or boilers top plate for the front? Rear ISO pads?

Thanks!

ON a Frankie don't do a top plate for sure. The FL already has a new strut plate installed. The clevis lift may be to much right off until the springs get broken in.

Yeah from what I have read even after it settles you only want the 1/4" Top Plates. Not the 3/8" ones

No Top plate on a Frankenlift :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I better take the one I have had on there for over 7000 miles then :ROTFL:

You can do a 1/4 inch only due to bolt length, if longer bolts are installed you can do a 3/8 inch

But some of the above information is correct, need to let the springs settle in before you do much.

Pretty much a "broken in" Frankenlift and a 1/4 inch top plate will get you as high as you want to go with out hearing the CVs cry too much

Of course I took a new gas Frankenlift parts, used 790 springs and 1/4 inch top plates from the get go!

But then with no extra heavy bumper etc does make a huge difference.

Thanks, I guess I'll just do a Clevis. JUST got the UPS box at the door, Tom.

Can anyone be more specific with options for rear shocks? lol I just want to order them tonight and be done.

Rancho 999284 I believe is the part number for the 9000xl Lifted rear shocks.
