    Question about lift and CV damage

    The accepted norm is 3 conduit nuts on each side of the clevis, on a Rusty's coil lift, which comes out to a 3/8" clevis lift. The lift will settle and drop down a little after driving it for 3-4 days, then get your alignment done and go have fun ordering your new 31" tires to put under it.

    Spacer lift vs Coil lift

    Upper ball joint contact, from weak stock struts, OTT spacers and Rough Country style clevis spacers. Since our upper ball joints and upper control arms are one peice, you have to replace the whole control arm. If your upper ball joints wear out and you have a lift, just get Jeepin Al's...

    RRO Combo Kit front strut mount Question

    No problems on the strut nuts in 3 + years. When I ordered my kit over 3 years ago the rear DT 3000 shocks came with an assortment of steel upper shock bolt sleeves. None of them were the correct lenght, so I cut down the longest pair to fit in the upper shock mount and torqued to 85 ft. lbs...

    Lift Sag

    No need to get another lift kit, the one you have is fine. Just add a 3/8" clevis lift (3 - 1/8" X 2" conduit nuts ea. side) to boost the front an inch, and get another alignment, add some bigger tires, then go have fun on the trails. You can do this yourself and save money. And stay away...

    Crager 397

    Why the stock size 235/70/16 (29") tires on on a lifted KJ??? The main reason for lifting the KJ in the first place, is to get bigger meats under it for added ground clearance, stability and durability. A lot of people do the Crager 397's in a 16X8 with the 5" back spacing (same size as...

    2003 or 2004?

    With half the mileage, I'd go with the 03. The only changes on the 04 I think, was the grab handle on the dash, and they added a 2nd. cat. convertor. Maybe, like myself, the person had two vehicles. I can only drive one at a time, and have 23,000 + on my 04 purchased Aug. 6th. of 03.

    Lift Sag

    I've heard of them dropping about 1/2" but, I don't think I've ever heard of one dropping an 1 1/2", unless you've got an ARB bumper and winch on it. Which coil rate did you order? Rusty used to carry standard, medium and heavy coils, don't know for sure if he still does though. The...

    Rustys lift kit

    Yes, and pinch weld still needs to be pounded over flat, use heat gun on front fog light area to soften and push in some. You'll see where it rubs when you mount them, adjust as necessary.
