What is the rubber spacer that AllJ's use in the frankenlift? Is it a daysatr spacer and what size is it? And correct me if I'm wrong but if you use this spacer then you need the daysar upper strut mounts? Ive been looking into doing "something" to the KJ and it may consist of a higher lift! Ive looked on the daysar website and notice this spacer: http://www.daystarweb.com/ItemForm.aspx ... 49ccf0f306
If i used this would i need the daystar strut mounts? What kind of feedback can you guys give me if i used this 1.5" spacer with my OME lift? Ive been noticing that the OME med springs have been sagging :? ... they still ride Amzing but lost some height.

The spacer in the Frankinlift is a special made spacer for AllJ's,it is not made by Rusty's or Daystar.

isnt it special made because doesnt it have that bumpstop thingy that hits the balljoint boot, "built in" to the spacer? where people usually had the piece of rubber hose-clamped onto the shock? but is the actual 3/4" spacer dimension the same?

I believe it was Eddo that said he held the spacer from the Franken lift and the .75in spacer from rustys side by side and said they were identical.
