soo.. im looking into buying a frankenlift. straight from all j's.. http://www.boulderbars.com/frankenlift.htm it is $799 (and i will need the bracket for relocating the brake line)... but i found it at http://www.rocklizardfabrications.com/jeep_liberty.htm for $775. Is there any difference in the kits... they seem to be the same to me? If so.. why is the price lower at rock lizard. Also will i need to buy back spring spacers so that it sits level.. i've noticed that they are normally up higher in the front end. Or perhaps it will sink once broken in.. if that is the case how long is the break in period? i know that's a lot of rambling, but hopefully someone can make a bit of sense from it and add some imput. Thanks for all your help!

They are the same. Manufacture direct is MSRP, dealers can cut a little. As to the other parts, I'd make my own break relocation bracket - search for a thread with some of my posts on that for pictures. I think you could make one out of scrap for $.50, and the rear gets one pair of spring isolators from the dealer ($10 to $12 each).

I was just on All J's site looking at the Frankenlift (the lift I intend to do once I get enough money saved up) and I was wondering what the price cost would be with ALL OME struts and shocks (including the new rear OME-N132L shocks) instead of ranchos. I noticed that it basically is the Frankenlift II or CRD Frankenlift that I wanted (which is $750 instead of $799) but with the new OME rear shocks added. I guess you could call it a custom Frankenlift....BUT

Would it be wise to run the CRD OME HD Coils on a gasser? I'd like to say that I'd someday have a RL Front Bumper added so maybe it would be wise to keep them on to makeup for the added weight? Anyone else order their Frankenlift like this? Thanks in advance guys.

I wouldn't go as heavy as the OME CRD springs on a gasser, the gasser HDs would work fine. The RL bumper isn't as heavy as the ARB.

Well I figured they weren't as heavy. Thanks for answering my question.
