I did the front a month later than the rear so I hope the front will settle a bit to match the height otherwise I'm putting in some rear isolator this summer.

Something about that doesn't look right to me either. The front coils seem really close together, it could just be the picture though. And the difference in height between the front and rear is quite a bit. I do hope it settles level :)

I just put HD OME's on mine this past weekend too. I will try and get a closeup of the front coils. Not a Franky though but just for comparison.

I just saw this post....
nope, not running any spacers or anything, just the basic frankenlift with the daystar upper plates and the bottom spacer on the front springs that come with the kit. Maybe the yellow makes them look closer together.

That's the Franky I with the HD OME springs correct? I plan on ordering that, the end of the month.
What size tires are you running?

Also, did you get the A-arms?
