Hi LTT What are you doing? Extending the UBJ pin or moving the UCA bush mounting points out and down, or both? Selwyn

Thanks TJKJ 2002!

Hi from SA Please assist, I need details on what is machined/shaved off the CV joint, CRD left inner, with a picture or two if possible, before I remove too much of the casing! My custom made Bilsteins are progressing. Thanks in advance. Selwyn

Hi Tom So we agree, it is not the RR spacer that blows the strut, it is the implications of the lengthened travel of the UCA to the bumpstop that causes the shock piston to bottom out before the UCA hits the bumpstop, the same applies to possible overcoiling of the spring. Sorry if the post...

Quote Tom "Those are about the same size as the Rocky Roads that caused so much trouble. Blew struts right and left" I have done 60000km with the spacers fitted, no trouble. Bumpstops are necessary, otherwise the shock will go. I believe this applies in most cases, there are numerous posts...

The CRD shaft is shorter, the question; How much shorter? Selwyn

Front shaft lengths between joint outer caps? CRD Short CRD Long Petrol Short Petrol Long The question; What is the additional length on the gasser that makes the "angle" difference ? Selwyn

Hi Tony & CRD lovers. I’ve seen the kit with the clevis on the site. The kit 2 shock appears longer than kit 1shock; the length of the standard clevis top clamp is gone. JBA should publish a full spec on the Bilstein kit, shock travel coil/weight/capacity, clevis size, the works - then we can...

Hi Guys Here's what this thread is about: My Questions (please remember this is CRD territory!): How do I obtain maximum lift without touching the inner CV joint boot? How do I protect the CV joint at full droop? How do I maintain maximum suspension travel, no limiting straps! Are the...

Take a look at the Bilstein kit at Al's, it's adjustable, you decide on the final lift height. http://jeepinbyal.com/ Selwyn

Hi Ryan Using the puller - without removing LBJ or UBJ or LCA! Bolted the coilover into place, compressed the coil 60mm. hooked the clevis over the driveshaft, "clipped" the clevis over the shock, lifted the complete hub assembly slightly and pushed the bottom bolt througn the clevis. - as...

Hi Tony & fellow forum members. 2 CRD's 2006 & 2007 one's mine the other belongs to my son. I did the Frankenlift install for a SA forum member KJ Sport, no charge. For me it was a free lesson on exactly how the Frankenlift was manufactured and how it fits. Here in SA the KJ community is...

Back to Boilers comments. As a DIY enthusiast I take the best or closest to whatever I require, build it my way and personalize it. I believe Tony did this with the front suspension and so on. Be thankful that Boiler is prepared to share what I know will have been many many hours of research. If...

Hi Tom This one is not for me, never! I's rather pay Boiler. This sounds like a taxi here in SA which suffered from brake failure. Analysis revealed that the pads had worn out, a quickfix was done, added a piece of cardboard. Unluckily a number of passengers were seriously injured.

Thanks Tony The frankenlift brocure is very vague on this subject. The process; disconnect the UBJ, droop, attach the ratchet strap (to what under the KJ?), (pull & jack & pull?) are any other tools such as a short crowbar required? Is there any reason why the caliper is removed? In terms of...

Hi Tahoe Like Tom stated the propper tool let go. Nothing is 100% safe. Ratchet Straps. Where are they connected? what do they pull? What size of strap?(they are available up to 5000KG) What quality ratchet? Can the ratchet slip? Can the tension created remove human body parts if used...

Thanks for the comments. I can defend each one with the results of the stress tests, the puller will not give way while compressed, the bolts will not shear, the chain is guaranteed to hold at 1500Kg(one side) the ears - 30*5 stainless steel, I will tow any KJ anywhere with a length of the...
