Which 4?

The difference between the Franky I and Franky II Premium is the parts used. #1 has Rancho shocks & struts. The #2 has OME shocks and struts. They also use the longer shocks in the rear on the #2.

It looks like I will be ordering from Rock Lizard. They are a little cheaper.

well i just got final aproval from the wife. As soon as the kj is paind off and the baby has a college fund; my va bene's pay for it all because in 30% disabled; i can throw whatever amount of money i want to in to it. so within the next 2-6 year you can expect(guarnteed) that my lib; or as i call her the " Fat Little tank"; will be the best IFS liberty to ever hit the trail. Im not just going with the 6" lit fom jeepin' by al. I'm goin at leats 8" and going at leats 38" tires. Now i know thats a lofty goal but.... with an aproved budget of who gives a *#@&E$^ i know i can come up with the bist lib that WE can come up with. SO......... all sugestions are welcome........

I found a business here in Saint Augustine, Aggressive Off Road, that will install the Franky for $50.00 an hour. They figure it will take about 4 hours. They have have done 2 before. Sounds good to me. What do you think?

I envy you!!

Our 4wd community in Denmark just got banned from the military practice terrain so we basically got nowhere to go wheeling. Still I want a lift on the KJ, it just looks much tougher with one on.

Envy envy envy

Sorry for the off-topic content! Couldn't help myself.

I'd get someone to do the job for me, for sure. I know a guy who can help me, he's tried installing a lot of lifts on cars no problem. I wouldn't like trying to do the stuff myself as I'm not really mechanically apt

That's cheap. Most shops around here want $60-90/hr for anything.
