On the KJ's 2nd birthday it got a real nice present. Well, second birthday of havin a real good dad like me. I didn't think of it until the day after but I bought the KJ june 1st 06 (first day of hurricane season post Katrina). The dealership was in Elwood IN (friend of family). Ahh I remember it like it was yesterday...

Two years to the day later with help from Nolakj and some other crescent city wrench turners the frankenlift premium II with Old Man Emu's all around.
Thanks goes back at y'all for constantly recomending goin with all J's. They really are good folks w/ quick service...

I know that takes a good week to settle to where it will be. However, It feels great. It feels funny having a responsive suspension after 50k miles with out one :)

There is one thing I have been hearing afterwords though a little vibration or shudder at certain times usually while turning and accelerating. It's nothing major just an odd little whirr kind of like rolling an "R" with your lips together. After about an hour of driving yesterday it went away, but it was back this morning. Its quite possible that I bent a little clamp or something on the exhaust when reverse jacking the axle to get the rear spring in. Any one else have a noise like that right after install...and did it go away???

Maybe the CV boot got hosed during the lift install?

Are your tires catching on the inside of the wheel well liner? Check where the pinch weld is for rubbing on the plastic. I just ripped out my liners this weekend and undercoated everything. Looks great!
