I was set on the Frankenlift until I read that alignment can be an issue. I'd like to avoid replacing the upper arms AND avoid aligment or ball joint problems. To the point of considering just using '02 factory springs. Anyone tell me if I can use the BDS 2" coil spring setup and avoid problems?

As far as I know that lift will not cause any problems.

Some other lifts that will not cause any problems with alignments would include, OME, Rustys, and Daystar spacer lift just off the top of my head.

I know by now I probably sound like a broken record
Go with the Old Man Emu
I have no experance with the BDS lift but it is very close to what you can get the OME stuff for
I would go with what I know will hold up and ride well

He is right about this but you will also not get as much lift with these other lifts.
