The g/f said that if I close both deals on the house I am selling... I can get a lift with some of it!
So I want a frankenlift... what's the best setup?
This one?
Frankenlift II Premium Kit: $1014.92
Comes with pre-assembled front struts assemblies. Uses OME NS131 Front Struts, OME927 H/D front Springs, Proprietory Poly parts, Strut Top Plates, All hardware needed; Rear OME948 H/D springs, OME132L Rear Long Travel Shocks and pair of rear extended bump stops. Plus, 1 Frankenlift Decal.

Is there anyway of stronger springs/ struts?
Also, I will be doing 2 or 3 conduits in the front and 2 or 3 iso pads in the rear.

Yeah good luck with the lift. I was hopping to be lifted by sometime this summer but now with a renter that may be moving out I need to work on getting things ready to either move out of my apartment and in to his which means finishing projects up so I can rent it for more MONEY or doing a clean and repaint down there and staying where I am for now. Either way I'm going to see how much I can get finished here before he moves so time and cash is going to be diverted fom the lift for now.

Maybe waiting will be a good thing for me. I do want to see everyone's lift and how it turns out.

yea, your going to want to add at least an extra iso to the rear. Upper. I still have not added one, I'm about 3/4 shorter in the rear than up from, so hopefully I get to add that iso to the rear, maybe 2 for me

The standard Isolation pads are dealer items ~$20 although if you're adding more than 1 All-J's sells a 'trim packer' -

'REAR 1/2" LEVELING SPACERS: $30 /PAIR'
