I know OME is the best way to go but what are the issues with the RK 3.5 if any or is it the same as Daystar. I havn't seen much said about it on here or other forums.

You haven't seen much about it since its not a good lift. With 5 year old springs and any kind of lift like that or even a daystar it would not last long due to the springs sagging even faster

So all I would need is OME shocks and springs.Will it sit level without anything else and that will put me at 22'' give or take? Also 245 75 16 will fit with no issues? I'm just trying to get everything figured out before I jump. Or would a Franken lift be better. I've read everything on here I'm just trying to be certain.

OK
here's my sermon I usually give
OME springs front and rear
927s front with a 1/4 inch top plate from JBA and 3/8 inch clevis with Teraflex bumpstops
948s rear with two extra upper isolators per side, 2 hockey pucks per side for bumpstops
use either OME or Bilstein shocks front and rear If OME get the 132Ls for the rear
JeepinByAl has everything but the hockey pucks & conduit nuts for the clevis
or AllJs is also a good place where you can buy springs / shocks
shockwarehouse also is a good place with fast shipping on Bilstein
With the above you will be at 22.50 when settled in and good for 80-100,000 miles more than likely with a great ride and better handling than it had brand new
Yes you can run 245-75-16 then and will look great
End of sermon for today
The Rev. has left the building :wink:

Why not a Frankenlift?

Its another option but since he was heading for something cheaper didn't want to scare him off. Many times when someone throws out the Franky right away the OP thinks that the only option and more pricey.

Nothing against Frankenlifts at all, easy to install
out of all the lifts I've done I have installed one , plus my last one has some Franky parts in it.
Springs etc are the same so no real difference except for ease of installation in front, thats it. With the way we do them height is about the same so nothing different there either.
Not sure what cobbled up lifts you have done, or on what type of vehicle, but there is NOTHING at all wrong with buying a kit or the parts I listed and doing it, not COBBLED at all :wink: My first lift lasted 100,000 miles before I swapped it out and it had the above parts that I listed.
