I still need to chop some of the front bumper, still getting rub in reverse.
I measured 18 1/4" from wheel center to fender before, and 22 1/4" after lift. 37" from ground to fender after lift as well.

I am still waiting for my spare wheel. They sent the wrong one the first time, so my tire is waiting to get mounted and balanced once the right one shows up. I am going tomorrow to have the alignment fixed too.

Keep saving, it is so worth it. I was going to go with the Rancho shocks but saved a bit more and went all out. The OME shocks, struts and springs are made to go together, and since it is my DD I wanted a nice ride. It rides like a champ now. It is huge too - surprised me. When I got the first front side done, I put the new tire on and took out the jack from under the lower control arm. I had the front end sitting on 2 jacks stands to begin with, and when I removed the scissors jack, the new tire sat on the ground and the jack stands were useless at the height I had them set at. I had to raise them up to do the other side. I looked at the finished side and thought, there is no way, it has to be sitting on the stands still. It was so high up. But nope, it wasn't. :D

that looks great!!!! brings back memories of when mine was freshly lifted. pulled up to an H2 and the headlights were the same height :) looks really good with the black rack/bars, black rockrails, black fender flare rivets, and black wheels! i also painted my rock rails black (had a lot of rash on them that was rusting). in my opinion the frankenlift is the best, highest, and nicest riding/installing lift for the money! it's a bit more than rustys but well worth it!

reading your measurements got me wondering.. so i parked mine on a flat, level spot (my garage) and took some.

Front
Ground to flare = 38
Hub to flare = 23in
Back
Ground to flare = 37
Hub to flare = 22 in

soo your assuming mine was the same height as yours (without the extra rear isolator)... dont expect it to settle much :D

this also means that my jeep is about the same height as 03kjsport with a JBA 4in lift on it... why do they advertise the frankenlift as a 2.5inch lift when it's clearly more?

Not sure why that is, because it is 4" for me before it has settled. But either way it is a sweet lift. You run 265/75/16 tires right?
My kj doesn't fit in my garage anymore, so the measurements I took were on my inclined driveway. Maybe I should redo them and see if there is a difference.
