I recently purchased a 2011 and have been stocking the parts to get it lifted with new tires. Just want to make sure I got everything I need. I got the ome springs and bilstein shocks(see pics) Also got the jba upper control arms and the front bump stops from terraflex part number 1903200. I got four hockey pucks and am going to pick up two 1/4x 2.25 bolts with nuts and washers. I went with cragar soft 8s 16x7 with 5 inches of backspacing and 265/70/16 falken wildpeak at3ws. I know I’ll need to pound the pinch weld and eventually regear but does this all sound correct? Thanks in advance for any input.

Was about ready to type you would have issues with 265 70s and 5 inch backspacing but see you have 4 inch.
Kind of narrow wheel IMO for the 265 70 16s , I prefer to use 8 inch with with 5 inch backspacing with that size tire but 7 inch will work

These are the correct ones I think. 24-185660 and they need these bushings? 0.625 ID, 0.470 ID, 1.825 long.

The 24-185660 work on the KJ for the rear shock yes. I used that shock on mine with a bushing from the hardware store. If the KK uses the same shock on rear as KJ then it will work. I don't know. I see it uses a different rear spring. But if it uses the same stock rear shock number then it should be fine.

Same shocks are used on both KJ and KK for the rear

Thanks! And the bushing in the size I listed? I found it somewhere else on the forum. In other news I have a brand new set of stock length bilsteins for sale haha

For further clarification
Regarding KJ and KK OME lifts
Both use the same springs and shocks in front ( UCAs are different )
clevis is 3/4 inch longer on the KK
In the rear springs are different but shocks are the same

So just to confirm what I have 2927 and 2731 for the coil springs and for the front shocks 24-139168 and for the rear 24-185660. This combination works for the kk. And I need two bushings measuring 0.625 ID, 0.470 ID, 1.825 long for the rear shocks one each. Thank you sir.

I do yes terraflex bumpstops for the front and four hockey pucks two for each side and then 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch hardware for the pucks wasn’t sure which one to use. Read of folks using one or the other. Trying to figure out what bushings to get for the back shocks. I found this information on a different post but don’t really know how to read it. 0.625 ID, 0.470 ID, 1.825 long Trying to make sure everything I have is correct before my mechanic begins the work.

So the guy doing my lift is putting the jba uca on and thinks that the ball joints are wrong. Jba is closed at the Moment so I can’t ask them but does this look right? I know I should prob start a thread just figured I’d ask here since folks are replying already. Here are some pics and a link to a short clip.
