Hi,
I'm looking for some advice & help regarding the Frankenlift II Premium kit for the gas KJ. I live in Vancouver Canada, after getting this thing shipped & paying the duties to Canada, it adds about $500 to the cost. I have quotes from local off road shops out here that have told me they don't have the Frankenlift but could quote me on the individual parts, below is one example for what I have been quoted;
OME front HD strut, = OME90009 = $203.80/strut + tax
OME coil = OME2927 = $194.39/per pair + tax
OME rear coil = OME2948 = $194.39/per pair + tax
OME rear long travel shock = OME132L = $125.22/shock + tax
Subtotal: $1046.82 + tax
This is a much cheaper way for me to do it since i wont have to pay for any shipping or duties, what I'm stumped on is will the above parts give me the same outcome as buying the Frankenlift? The only parts not included from local quotes are; Proprietary Poly parts, Strut Top Plates, All hardware needed, rear extended bump stops & the Frankenlift decal. I don't know what the Proprietary poly parts are exactly, & the local places out here have said i can use the strut plates that are already on there.
buying parts separately would come not assembled, is that a difficult thing to assemble with little knowledge?
What exactly is the difference between buying the kit and buying the parts separately? If anyone could give me some advise, that would be awesome.
Thanks
