Just ordered the unassembled CRD Frankenlift. Suppose to be here next week.
Got tired of the saggy front end and the occasion bottoming out. Any pointers on installation?

All sorts of folks have, but not me, just search the forum for "Frankenlift". Max lift without drive train problems seems to be in the 1.5-2" range |

I've done mine a few times - about 80% of the problems/issue are the drivers side front - the CV half/shaft is shorter - makes it really hard to assemble without tearing the CV boot - it can be done - just be really careful - and take your time. after that - the passenger size feels easy and the rear's are really easy (you need extra bumpstops so the springs don't fall out). really good spring compressor is important - wall mounted is best *even if you have to take it to a shop - around here it was ~ $20 or so. - the CRD springs are 410 lbs/in - the OME 790's are 500 - it builds a lot of energy fast. I've used these that last 2 times - Ampro T70570 from Autozone $40  http://www.amprotools.net/product_list.aspx?productid=754&partnerid=32&categoryid=5&mode=show |

Thanks for the info. Ya I have a buddy with a shop, so he was going to let me use his commercial strut spring compressor to assemble the fronts. |
