has anyone had any difficulties with wheel alignment after installing the Frankenlift II ?

if so, did you resolve it? do we use factory specs for aligment once it's lifted, or are there better specs to align to?

Any 2.5" + lift - you try for the factory specs and you should be able to Castor and Toe-in - but the Camber will be at the very outside limit of the spec at best - this can only be fixed by longer upper A arms - i.e. Jeeping Al's.

Otherwise you need to rotate tires on a frequent basis

basically with any lift you get them set it as close as they can get it.

Best thing to do is have them get the camber in spec then get the caster as close as possible. Caster will not cause tire wear, camber and toe will. I have rusty's lift, 3 ring clevis, rusty's strut plates, and al's a-arms. Shop still couldn't get everything in spec. They set it up getting the caster as close as possible without throwing the camber out again then set the toe. Have about 1k miles since the last alginment and dont see any abnormal tire wear. Al's arms will definately help getting the camber back in. Lifting these KJ's is a real pain in the booty.
