Hey guys! I know I am kind of a newbee and this topic gets hit on alot. I know I want a Frankenlift and if I do lift my jeep that is what I am getting. My jeep has 200k on it. It needs shocks and struts bad and what better time to do so right? Well what I am worried about is that after I lift this jeep up I am going to be struck for troubles. What are some of the side effects of a frankenlift or any other lift for that matter?
I know some have problems with cv's. I replaced my drivers side cv about 30k miles ago. My passenger side has a little tear in the boot (that is duct taped right now) So I will be replacing either the whole axel or just the boot here soon.
I have rebuilt my transfer case once at like 140k miles and it should be good.
How about like U joints will they have problems?
I dont want to go with to large of tires because I want to retain my fuel millage a little bit so I can still drive down the free way.
I guess I am just on the edge of what to do. Should I lift or not?
I love the looks and I like wheeling I sold my YJ last spring and am dying to get back out, but I still need to drive this rig to work on Monday.
Thanks guys for bearing with me!
