Thought this maybe interesting to see

1) How many miles on the Jeep when you lifted it
2) What model is your Jeep (Wrangler, KJ, KK etc. )
3) How many miles since you lifted your Jeep?
4) What type of lift and any problems?
5) Is this the original lift or have you changed / upgraded it?
6) If you were to do it over anything you would do differently?

1) about 40,000
2) 2004 KJ 3.7 gasser
3) speedo shows about 125,000 total so 85,000 miles lifted ( really more since the speedo is way off so closer mileage lifted is about 93,500)
4)OME HD springs and Rancho struts
5) Original springs/shocks and have added an RRO spacer plate and "some" conduit nuts
6) would of lifted it sooner :wink:

Maybe redoing mine soon , springs are starting to sag a little but what can you expect after over 93,500 "actual"miles

Thats a tough one....

My SFA was lifted w/ a Daystar when it was 390 miles old. Had that on there for a while until we started testing the 1st version of the Frankenlift..... which turned into a different version which was what was last on there prior to the SFA...... Just turned 50K on the odometer....not a very accurate reading considering I only had an accurate read for those 1st 390 miles..... Sure have been Lots and lots of miles either on the trail or on the way to or from them. fun times.

1) 6000ish
2) 2006 KJ renegade
3) 23000
4) Frankenlift with rancho's not one problem
5) changed the OME 927's for OME 790's (when bumper/winch was added) and an upper rear isolator
6) left it stock and put all the money on stuff i've bought for it into a SFA fund.. would only be $1000 short (assuming the $6000 budget)

1) How many miles on the Jeep when you lifted it
somewhere around 70,000 i think

2) What model is your Jeep (Wrangler, KJ, KK etc. )
KJ

3) How many miles since you lifted your Jeep?
around 35,000

4) What type of lift and any problems?
Rusty's 2.5 Full Spring Lift (used, no idea of prior mileage)
- replaced factory a-arms w/JBA gen 4.5 after torn UBJ boot from spring contact
- replaced rear Rusty's shocks with OME 132L. Rusty's shocks were horrible to begin with and mine were shot

5) Is this the original lift or have you changed / upgraded it?
prior mentioned a-arms and shocks
added 3/8" clevis lift to front and 1 spring isolator per side rear
not really part of lift, but part of suspension - added swaybar disconnects

6) If you were to do it over anything you would do differently?
I wish I had OME HD springs instead of Rusty's but the used price was too good to resist, so no regrets. Would not have bought it new though.

3) How many miles since you lifted your Jeep?
4) What type of lift and any problems?
5) Is this the original lift or have you changed / upgraded it?
6) If you were to do it over anything you would do differently?

1) 30,000km first lift, 70,000km current lift.
2) 2002 Jeep Liberty Renegade - 3.7L Gas - Standard Trans 5spd
3) 55,000 since first lift, 15,000km since current lift
4) Front - Rancho RSX 17505 + OME HD 927 Rear - Skyjack Hydro H7088 + Skyjacker JBA-LIB25R Coils + 2 extra ISO's per side.
5) Original lift was a 2.5" RRO Budget spacer lift, now acts as a door stop.
6) A) I wouldn't have purchased the RRO budget lift knowing what I know now, spacer lift accelerated the demise of my stock struts/coils.
B) I wouldn't have used a pickle fork to seperate the UCA on my first lift, put a smal split in the boot on one of the UCA ball joints. I knew better the second time around.
C) On my current lift I should have installed OME 948 HD rear coils instead of the Skyjacker coils. I will be doing this when it's time to re-gear and put some 265/75's on

LIV42DY · **Posted:** Wed May 27, 2009 10:59 pm

1) How many miles on the Jeep when you lifted it - 28,000

2) What model is your Jeep -2002 Sport

3) How many miles since you lifted your Jeep? - 68,956

4) What type of lift and any problems? -OME HD's Front and Rear, (Franki)
[b]the rear was leveled bu manufacturing a exact duplicate of the lower isolatetor constructed out of steel and placing the rubber isolator over that one, increasing the hight of the spring perch to eliminate spring discharge, I did not want to use multiple uppers. No spacers in the front as of this time.[/b]

5) Is this the original lift or have you changed / upgraded it? -Original lift Full Sykjacker, soft ride, needed a HD,s changed over to OME.

6) If you were to do it over anything you would do differently-No any changes wit the current configuration of the front axels and CV joints would render the vehicle undependable on and off road.

Just to be different.

1) How many miles on the Jeep when you lifted it
bought it with 9008 miles on the odo, lifted it at 12k ish
2) What model is your Jeep (Wrangler, KJ, KK etc. )
05 Wrangler Unlimited (LJ)
3) How many miles since you lifted your Jeep?
around 17k
4) What type of lift and any problems?
Rubicon Express 5.5 long arm, only problem is they welded in a drop bracket for the track bar that the front driver's side spring hits every time it compresses.
5) Is this the original lift or have you changed / upgraded it?
original
6) If you were to do it over anything you would do differently?
I might have gone for the 4.5 short arm instead. Then I wouldn't have had to have the exhaust modified as well. And it would have left more money for gears/lockers or other upgrades.(didn't get to re-gear until a year after lifting)

Question, Id like to get a Frankie premium CRD lift. Is that suspension (I suspect it is) going to be a superior ride? With respect to springs, the rate etc etc etc.

General ride and handling.
