[rubicondave33]

This is the KJ lift I'd like to use. I have one of this companies lifts on my WJ and am quite pleased with the quality and engineering.

Looks awesome.....but I'll bet it costs a pretty penny.

[yoda13]

that thing is friggin' awsome \:D/

and if I read it right, there would be no CV joint, or boot problems to worry about... :-k

regardless, sounds and looks great. But I bet it costs $$$$$$$$$

[rubicondave33]

Yeah, the cost will probably be up there, but other than the fact that this one is for a uni-body, it can't be too much different than what is available for a Chevy truck. Besides, could you imagine 33's on a Liberty?

[grogiefrog]

Very nice!

My wife would need a step stool... "Honey, guess what I did to the KJ?!" :thumbup:

[kj lad]

The kit looks great. But there are some concerns as to whether or not the KJ front diff can take 33" tyres.

All the CV issues have been worked out and if what I have read is correct it will have great flex and much of the IFS has been upgraded.

Superlift are also been developing a similar lift that will lift 4.5"

You will also need a SYE and regearing, plus the kits will not be cheap to buy and install!

Man, that is alot of dinero [-X


Yeah, but you could turn your KJ into one bad ass monster truck!!! \:D/

[yoda13]

true, but I think the price is just too high for me :-s

[-=JoN=-]

it should drop down in price, once it gets hot....
nice lift system..too much money for me, and i would only put one on if the KJ is just truly made for offroad use.....
wonder who in LOST will take the initial plunge..probably one of the LOST west guys

[incommando]

Update: Research this lift VERY carefully before buying it.....

[kj lad]

Incommando is right. There is a pretty horrific story on LOST about a guy who bought this kit......................

Now I have seen 2 persons who got that lift and it looks its bad, I think one of them is already taking it out and switching for a solid front axle.
Be careful.

[misterzero]

Yeah, stay away from this lift. A guy over at LOST is now taking it off and putting on the mentioned solid front axle. All that money basically stolen. It's a shame.

There are plenty of good 2.5-3" lifts out there. If you want to wait a little longer and have some more cash they are coming out with a SAS kit that will lift it about 4-5" and allow 33s.

[SkidMarkSteve]

Eddo, thanks for the link! I'll be looking forward to that 4-5" lift, as well. All I want is to run 33's, and have good articulation, so that shuld do it for me. =P~
