okay... my problem is i need a new suspension...
I have 87,000 on my jeep and have not replaced the suspension.
should I either
a: go with a rancho and just keep it stock heigth for ~300
b: b/c a lift is so much, save up for a while longer and get a frankenlift>

I have $300ish right now saved up.

What do you want out of it all Rip? Are you happy with the look and performance now? Then just addrerss the replacement parts. I don't think you'll be happy until you get a lift, new tires and wheels. Keep saving...

Personally, i would save up a bit more. Or you can buy it a piece at a time. You can buy OME or BDS springs, and in the front put an upper plate and a clevis and be just as high as a frankenlift. The BDS spring rates are a little bit higher than the OME ones. But in the end it is what will make you happy.

Your almost half way to a lift. Save for a lift and come join us on a trail ride.

i just wish that i hadn't waited so long to do something with my suspension.
i am hoping to not have problems b/c of the lateness

You shouldn't have any. When i bought mine it had 74,000 and did not get the lift on until it was almost a 100,000 miles

well seeing as how I am a Realtor... if any of you need a house give me a ring at 405-306-5627 even if you are out of state we can get you hooked up!... the money is not pouring in because I am just getting started.

I agree with everyone else. Save up for the lift.
I got 105k on my jeep, well, on the suspension atleast and it still ride pretty good. And thats with some pretty intense wheeling too.
Just save for the lift, it what I'm doing...and I have $0 saved up as of now.
