    dont assume, please read.........rim/tire size help

    Why spend twice for tires. If you lift it next year, just get the 245/75/16's then. Ground clearance is half the battle to off-roading, without it you'll be banging on things a lot and get high centered easily.

    Quick question about Rusty's spacer lift kit

    You apparently didn't research very well, or very wisely when choosing your lift kit. Your rear stock shocks are not long enough now that you're lifted. Pick up a pair of longer rear shocks for a Dodge Durrango such as Rancho RSX 17004 to eliminate the problem in the rear. As for the...

    Help with Frankenlift

    Yeah, those front coils are rated at 450 lbs., which would be ideal for an ARB bumper and winch. For a stocker 450 lbs. is way to stiff.

    Excessive negative camber

    Do yourself a favor and go get an alignment before the edges of your tires start wearing out. The camber has to be readjusted after you lift it.

    Jeeps bottoming out, lift help

    I'm sure they would help. Just for a comparison, I installed a new set of stock CRD 410 lb. rate coils a year and a half ago with my RRO 2.125" combo kit and added 1/2" clevis lift. When I first took it down off the jackstands it was 37" at the flare. After less than a week it had settled to...

    Jeeps bottoming out, lift help

    RRO uses OME springs with a small 3/8" trim spacer on top of the strut assembly in the front to obtain 2.5" with No UBJ contact and no spring compression. Frankinlift uses OME springs with a poly spacer within the spring-strut assembly which compresses the spring, along with a Day Star strut...

    OEM Lift? What do I need?

    Try rereading my post, I didn't say you'd get a Frankinlift cheaper, as it has some different componets and preassembled front struts. The componets I mentioned would be very similar to the the RRO Rockfather kit. Here's a link for All J's and the Frankinlift...

    OEM Lift? What do I need?

    Buying the componets seperately will generally give you better quality parts and be cheaper in the long run over most of the lift kits available. First off, determine if you will be adding an after market bumper and or winch to deterime which front coil spring rate you will need . If so...

    RRO Combo Kit - Shocks?

    It sounds like you can't really afford a lift kit at this period in your life if you can't afford $300.00 + shipping for the RRO Combo with extended rear shocks. If your 02 has the original struts & shocks on it, they most likely need replaced anyway, not to mention the springs have lost...

    265/75-16 Tires???

    32's will really diminish your MPG, and 4:10's would be a plus to bring your powerband back if you've got the extra bucks, but not totally necessary. Don't forget to figure in the ARB weight when you order your lift, proper coil rate to support it.

    Custom lift

    Any time you raise or lower the front suspension by whatever means, you will need to have the camber reset.

    Custom lift

    With the front 3/4" poly spring spacer and the rear isolator pad you won't need bump stops, but you will need an alignment.

    Whats better, clevis or strut spacer?

    People have CV's going out with no lift and 2.5" lifts. When you start pushing the envelope to 3.25" it puts more stress on parts and they just wear out quicker.

    Difference between Lifts

    The spacer is on top of the strut or a poly spacer under the coil. Look closely at the top pic. and you will see the upper ball joint makiing contact with the spring, this is called a strut spacer or OTT, and you want to avoid this type. The lower pic shows a Rusty's coil lift with no...
