Hi all, I finally finished fitting my so long thought of and desired lift.

It consists of:

OME 927/948
Koni heavy track front shocks
Rancho RSX 17004 rear shocks
Rusty's top plates
3 ring clevis
+1 upper isolater on the rear
JBA gen 3.5 upper control arms
Terraflex front bumpstops
Cut to size rubber mallets rear bumpstops

Here's what I got:

Here's what the front looks like:

Here's what the rear looks like:

it's parked on the curb so it seems the bumpstop is very close to the extra one I fitted to protect the Rancho shocks, but in normal driving conditions it sits further apart.

Image

Test driven it for a little bit, very happy with it!

Image

Now need some bigger tires...fast..:D

And I thought it deserved this now:

Very nice lift tony.
I hope that my KJ looks the same as yours in time.
Do you have also cut the gap by the upper A-arm?
Is this easy to do?

In a car 'tuning' store like your advanceauto etc. It's made for a Seat Ibiza, but fits the KJ too.

Sorry, not available in the US....you can find one that looks like mine on E-bay.

I added the carbon look myself, also a decal..

Yes that is quite easy to do, you can either use a Dremel tool like I did or in your case ( Frankenlift) use an angle grinder to cut the pockets even bigger ( Slijptol ).

You didn´t by any chance make any blueprints out of those?

NOT that I´m willing to copy as such, but.....

I´ve longed those plates forever now... :o

Yep we did...

But a friend of mine has them now, he's trying to make some himself.

When he gives them back I'll see if I can scan them and post a pic with sizes.

And I have new tires and rims...finally...moabs
