New Lift Pics

Here are the pics that show the difference between a 5-year-old Daystar 2.5" spacer lift and a brand-new Frankenlift. I tried to get the same angle from the same distance at the same location.

Miracle Grow and crazy Colorado weather does wonders for the plant life around here. :wink:

That's not a training wheel .... that's a retractable support wheel to prevent the front end from squatting over time due to the weight of the ARB. :lol:

Makes me want to get rid of my Daystar lift!

Troy, Thanks again for doing the work on this. You and Marty have been more help that you know.

Corwyyn: Change it out! I didn't know what I was missing until making the change. I can't believe the difference it has made even on the daily commute.

So when are you going to get new tires?

Did you figure out when you are leaving? Like I said I will be at Carson June 20th... I already got my orders cut. By the way it looks good. Let me know if you need those front tow hooks... I will take them off your hands. :twisted:

I should be getting new tires sometime around the end of the month. I plan on going with Cooper Discoverer STTs but I'm still debating on what size. I keep bouncing back and forth between 265/75R16 and 245/75R16. I want to go with a larger tire but I'm tired of the tires rubbing and I really would like to avoid popping off the rear flares.

I finally found out that I'm going to Hunter AAF in Savannah, GA but since I still don't have orders, I'm not sure when the move will actually happen. However, I do expect it to be sometime around the end of June.

As far as the tow hooks, check your PMs :wink:

All you have to do is look at Troys rig to see how he did his rear triming. If you have the time it would be worth it even with a 245.

Whatever you are feeding that thing I want some for my KJ :shock:

Wow what a difference! Looks great!
