| Post subject: | Weight |
I am running a frankenlift on my 2k7 model liberty. I put the heavy duty springs up front hoping to add a front bumper sometime in the future. The front runs so high that my cv angles are at an intense angle. I have been running the lift for over a year waiting for it to fall but it hasn't fallen much at all. I'm currently running skid plates up front but it doesn't seem to be enough. I need to add some more weight. Does anyone have any ideas about how to add more weight to the front? I do not have the money to buy a heavy front bumper and I don't want to strap some sand bags on the hood. I haven't been off road as much as I would like but when it does go off road it gets wheeled pretty hard so it has been flexed. |

What do you measure from middle of wheel to bottom of flare? trying to see where you sit compared to where I sit them up at Most all we do here are in the 22.50-22.75 range in front, I'm running more but   have done a lot of them at or about the same height with no issues I assume you are talking about 927 springs??? 927s are heavier but all seem to break in fairly quick and easy |

I can't see paying so much for a front bumper.....I'm looking into front tow hitch(which they make)it bolts on just like the rear hitch. and then getting a winch and a winch receiver plate so you can take it from front to back receiver hole as you please. might not be the weight your looking for but. my  anyhow.

Riding at 22.5 on inside or lowest part of flare. 23 if I measure to the outer edge. Sounds like it's at the height that most are at. Just looks scary to me. Yes, you're right, they are the 927 springs. |

As Tom says height is ok,and believe this a winch will make it "smoother" but will not afect ride height much for the first 6-8 months. |
