Welcome! there is a lot of info on here about both ALL J's Frankenlift and RRO. The Frankenlift is probably the best lift on the market hands down. Do your research before you purchase anything from RRO, there is a reason that most of us recommend not buying anything from them.

You also may consider Jeepin' by AL's lifts his 4" is about the same height as the Frankenlift.

A arms aren't required, but do help with alignments. Front bump stops, also not necessary, but a good investment. Rear bumpstops can be purchased or made with hockey pucks.

depends on what extended bumpstops you are looking at.
Also there are 100s of posts on here listing parts etc you need. Frankenlifts while good are not the only way to go and get the same amount of lift for cheaper.
You can go to JeepinbyAls and buy all of the parts needed as well He has the OME springs can still get the Ranchos RSX shocks yet and build your own for 700/750

Just a thought

Rusty's kit is the same spring rate as the stock suspension, so it is known to sag (badly) over time. The BDS kit is relatively new, and I don't believe it gives quite as much lift as the Frankenlift does.

The srping rates for the BDS are actually higher than the OME's. The fronts are 410 lbs while the ome are 400 lbs. And the rear are 10 or 20 lbs firmer too. There are a few guys on here running the BDS lift and seem to be pretty happy with them. I have an OME setup, with a clevis lift and a top spacer like tommudds, just as high as a franky and not all the squeeky noise from the front end. Just my opinion.

I have almost the same setup (I got medium srings) and agree whole hearted.

I am running the BDS set up with ranch struts in the fornt and teraflex front bumpstops and daystar rear... i love it...

has given me plenty of room to run my 245/75/16 duratracs and i didnt even have to trim or pound the pinchweld at all.

def. a great buy in my opinion. :lol:

For what it's worth, I originally had the RRO OTT lift for 60K and it did the job lift wise but it made the ride harsh. Switched to Frankenlift and it sits higher and the ride was better than stock.
