WAAHOOOOOO! Finally going Franken in my 03 sport! I managed to scrape up enough money from last christmas, this past b-day and my tax return and have ordered the Frankenlift Standard as well as some Al's UCA's. I can't wait until it gets here. My shocks and struts are pretty much shot not to mention even a minor lift makes the jeep look bad@ss! Gonna search around some more as I know I've seen some pretty good install tips posted here and would like to get an idea of what I'm in for :)

You didn't get the "fancypants"? You are missing out. You can go pee in them on the trail and not have to worry about it leaking out all over the place. I think that crazy astronaut lady was wearing a set when she attacked her boyfriend's other woman. :shock: :D

Post some pics of the lift and you are going to love it! :D :D

Little known fact about fancypants is that sweat and urine ACTUAlly cleans them. It's made out of a space age material specifically designed for Elvis in his later years. If you didn't get them, I would call Heather at boulderbars.com and complain long and loud :lol:

Not, those pants have a governor on it for the normal people. Only Chuck Norris has "Kill" capabilities.

If I tried to stand on one leg and lift the other that high the only person it would kill would be me.

Mine took just under two weeks to get to me because ARB was slow in getting the front strut parts to All J. Once the parts were in, I got it in 2 days.

I ordered mine about 3 or 4 pm PST and the shipping estimate is slated for 23 May (this Friday), although there are almost ALWAYS delays at the border :(. Seems as though every package I order, any and all baggage I have on me when crossing the border has to be inspected. Apparenly I look like the type who smuggles goods across the border. I'm just glad I don't look like the kind of guy that has drugs up my bum. The last thing I need is to have the border guards going at me like their trying to get the last pickle out of the jar :shock:.

That's dang funny right there. Unless it happens to you, then not. :lol: Every once in a while something gets through the border without being stalled, dutied, taxed, etc. I recently ordered some Quick-Fist clamps from Davis Ind. in the U.S. and they came smokin' up here in a couple of days. :shock: Gotta love it when that happens.

My Franken Lift arrived in 1 1/2 weeks I got it today and will most likely install this weekend :D

I have these to install:
- Franken lift II + 1/2 rear spacer, w/small clevis to level out. (opted for the Hard coil springs for CRD and heavy bumper (later))
- Gen 4.5 A-Arms (received last friday).
- Moog greasable LBJ. (missing in action so far hopefully in by friday)
- Front Disc Rotor + Brake pads.

So once installed I guess I'll be part of the fancypants club.

P.S. Where does the brake line reloc. bracket go? I have'nt looked underneath the KJ yet.
