I LOVE MY 04 LIMITED 4X4 BUT ITS SEEMS TO BE A BIT BOUNCY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING.. IT HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT... COULD IT BE THE STRUTS OR DO THEY NORMALLY RIDE LIKE THIS?????? THE FRONT ALSO SEEMS ALOT LOWER THAN THE BACK FOR STOCK HEIGHT... ( USED TO DRIVING A SILVERADO THAT RODE LIKE A CADILLAC..) PLAN ON GETTING A FRANKENLIFT ANYWAY, HOPEFULLY IT MAY RIDE BETTER.. ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREAT... THANKS...

It's very possible the struts are shot with that many miles. It's hard to give a definitive answer though. You will DEFINETLY be able to tell a difference with the frankenlift!

WILL IT RIDE BETTER WITH THE FRANKENLIFT???

You could be lower in the front, but could also just a sense of deception. The KJ is sloped and can look like it is lower in the front. It depends on your suspension also.

Are the struts, shocks, and springs all stock? You can always do a Clevis lift to raise the front. With the Frankie, you shouldn't need to add a clevis lift.

I couldn't say for sure on the frankie because I don't have it but I know my lift rides MUCH better. So I vote YES!

AS far as I know my 02' Sport has a stock set up. I bought it used from the dealership so I have no comparison. I have 92,0000 and in the year I've had it I've had the rear pumpkin rebuilt an in twice for LBJ's.. On an earlier post I asked for an got info on a 4 point airlift system which I'm thinking real hard about. But want all the 411 I can get with these other lifts like frankie how much difference is the road manners in lifting or do all I gain is more clearance. I once stiffend the suspension for road cornering and handling. It cornered great but when a passenger went for a ride along they complained that it was so stiff it would shake the fillings out of your teeth. Since I was hanging on to the steering wheel I did'nt feel the harsh ride. :?:
