I have the Premo Franken II and it is sweet. The ride and handling are way better than stock ever was and I got 4" of lift after it settled. So I say go with the Frankenlift. I have absolutely zero complaints.

Is the JBA basically a skyjacker lift with Al's arms?

X'2 My brother.
The only COMPLAINT that I have with the frankenlift II is, I should have done it sooner!

Just call them. They're VERY friendly! :D And even if you're worried about long distance time: I was only on the phone with them for maybe 7 minutes when I ordered OME front springs and JBA arms, and that was with a girl that couldn't even place the order herself (didn't get to talk to Heather but, Diana was still very helpful; even if she didn't know exactly what I was ordering). I still got exactly what I ordered, and in the 2 days that I asked it to be delivered. Which was really surprising when I saw that the UCAs were drop-shipped from JBA (the other side of the country!).

you installing them or getting it done somewhere? I would be interested in watching/helping if it's a do-it-yourself job. Maybe get a lift party together. At least this way I would know what I am in for when I finally buy mine.

I was planning on taking it to a shop but have changed my mine since then. A lift party would be great if I didnt live in a townhouse. Unless someone else was up to host a lift party. I would like to meet some people in the area. Im new to this area & would appreciate some wheeling buddies.
