Yeah, I measured that too. I'm sitting at 22 1/2" roughly at all four wheels. Except for the one that is 1/4" higher.


So I'm curious... you apparently ditched the clevis lift for the time being. Did you end up putting in the extra isolator pad still? If so, 1 or 2 per side?

I'm about to put the same lift on myself... want all the bases covered. :?

It has been mentioned at least 100 times that with the Frankenlift you do not want to add the clevis as you are going to be too high in the beginning , install the Franky in front, get an alignment and drive it! Two extra top iso's in the rear seems about right to level it

What Tommudd said... I did NOT do the clevis in front per recommendations from just about everyone regarding the franky. After putting it on I see now why, THE CLEVIS LIFT IS NOT NEEDED RIGHT AWAY WITH THE FRANKY.

And yes I put 2 extra iso's in the rear to level.

Now it's been mentioned 101... :wink: I'm not going to do the clevis as per last thread that it was discussed that I saw. I was looking for info regarding isos in the rear, which was only mentioned 96 times previously.

Sounds like you got all the right questions out of the way right off the bat. Looks good... Now just remember its not done, In another year or so your gonna get board and try something new, go higher, wider, something... once it starts it never ends


Thats not true when I first lifted mine I was satisfied with it, well I was for a while, maybe a week............ :ROTFL:



Yeah, I'm aware of the addiction :lol: This is my fourth JEEP (well, sort of third, I don't always count the Compass I had for 2 years, what a waste). I certainly count the two wranglers I've had, I think if I would have never bought my first one, I'd have a lot more money! But probably would have had less fun :-)r

I was thinking of the "next" thing before I even started this mod :ROTFL:

My list gets longer faster than I take things off of it as well!
