Sure why not, used to run to Boston every other week just to see my wife, you can't be that much farther away! :BANANA:

You'll have to wait now until I get back from Tanzania!
Have a small lift, window tinting and some other things to do to a Toyota over there :wink:

then drive it for a month! :pepper:

serious? awesome id like to chat with you more on where and what to order. thanks alot man

okay so I am def going with the OME coils front and rear, but on the shocks and struts would getting rancho or bilstein be the same as OME?
I figure shocks and struts is about the only place to save a little bit of money. So which ones should I go with.

The lift is still on, just asking for my christmas and b-day money early...

If you only go with OME springs -vs- Franky, the Franky wins height wise.
BUT if you install a 3/8 inch top plate, a 3 ring clevis in front, two extra top isolators in the rear along with OME springs you're in the same height range

steve03sport · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 9:36 pm

so is all that stuff still cheaper than franky??or should i just go franky? and can u add conduit to franky for more lift?

tommudd · **Posted:** Tue Jul 13, 2010 10:44 pm

When you first install a Franky you should just install as is and get it broke in right and where it will be sitting. Some will settle in faster than others depends on what you do with it!
Adding a top plate and 3 ring clevis will get you about the same height as a Franky.
Yes you can add some to a Franky but you are at the turning point of possible CV complaining if you go too much

Okay.. I thought about it for awhile and I want a FRANKY!
So if I order it from AllJ's, just like this...
Frankenlift II Premium Kit for GAS KJ: $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.

would I be set to go and not need anything else, or do I still install 2 iso pads and 2 or 3 conduits to level it out?

Thanks for the help and being patient with me!

Please read above answer to Steve03sport....
when you install the franky you are going to be at about the max height. You want to run it for a while to see where it settles in at , then "maybe " you'll want to add some to the front.

Alright I will be ordering the franky in a little while!
