Heh....

a KJ lift kit will work for the Nitro.
a Nitro lift kit will work for the Nitro.
a KK lift kit will work for the Nitro.

The suspensions are for the most part, identical in all the necessary areas, the only difference is a new knuckle.

:confused: A KK I understand as it is intended for off road, but why a Nitro? Do people wheel Nitros?

i lift for a kj would work for a kk but the ubj is offset at the wrong angle..you could put the lift on, but it would wear out the ubj really fast

Wow! The KK Looks way better than the KJ when no longer at stock height! But just like the KJ... that's the way it *should* have looked from the factory.

Somewhere between being sane and insane!
Any lift for the KK that does not include new brake lines and a adjustable(or longer) rear trackbar shoild not be used.

The stock brake lines are barely long enough for the stock suspension,adding any lift will stretch the brakes lines and they can and will fail,re-routing of the rear ABS sensor lines in needed also.

Myself and RockLizard have test fitted a Frankinlift on a KK and at full droop with the stock suspension the brake lines were about as tight as bango springs.Also without a adjustable rear trackbar(or longer one) the rear axle will be shifted to one side after lifting.

JBA is working on a 4"(and 2.5") lift for the KK that will be complete,not cheap but it will be complete with all needed parts,just waiting and the rear brake lines and we'll be test fitting one on a KK sometime real soon.

One from a nitro will work...OME springs are preferred, or a JBA lift, which might use OME springs.
