Question

I just got done installing my Frankenlift. I have some contact issues as seen in the pic. Is this normal prior to an alingment? This is the only problem I am seeing at the moment. Everything else looks great & rides great. It is a bit stiff but I expected that. The front end is sitting higher than the rear it seems also but I figure everything will settle into place after awhile right? Thanks in advance. Pics to follow shortly...

Due to the height, I can only assume that is common. I would suggest replacing the upper a-arm with the one from All J Products. Your issue is the reason why I didn't go with the Frankenlift although it would be true with any tall lift. Along with that, it also puts the cv's at a tight angle. These are just some of the things that we have to deal with if we want height.

I have OME HDs over Ranchos so I don't have that big bottom isolator sticking out(stock bottom isolator reused), but why wouldn't they put the part that sticks out facing the inside where there is plenty of room for it instead of facing the outside where it does now? Or is it specifically there to act as a bumper to prevent the UCA from making contact with the coil?

You might get fewer views but better input with a more specific subject line.

i have a franky and stock a-arm's.. i had contact to begin with but once it settles it'll be fine. and when it's on the ground with the weight of the jeep on it there wont be contact.. however when you hit a bumper and the wheel drops it will contact. but like i said it will stop sooner or later

It was not fully tightened in the pic & lift is nowhere near being settled.
