Well i was sick of my stalk kj sitting with the rear higher then the front so i grabed some 1/4inch stalk and cut out some spacers to raise the front of my KJ It was lot of hard work and time but it now sits level. Pics below

Looks awesome! Do you get any Upper ball joint contact at full droop?

What size tires are those? They look fairly big..

Looks great. By lifting 1/2" at the strut you've actually lifted the front end around 1-1/4". Be aware that your factory bumpstops are not long enough to contact the upper a-arm before the strut is fully compressed now. You can blow your struts this way, the strut spacer lifts have a tendency to ruin stock struts. FWIW I added 1/2" to the bottom of the strut above the strut fork for the same reason you did. I've yet to do anything about the bumpstops but I've not bottomed my suspension yet cause I'm a big poser :lol: I think I will just screw a chunk of 1" rubber to the bottom of my bumpstop. Anyway, nice work and innovation :) Good luck!

Post subject:  Glad you guys like that
Those tires are 245/75/R16's and they only rub on a full turn or if I over flex but Im coming up with a way to fix the fenders so they don’t rub. BTW this is in ALASKA............. This is only temporary I’m going to get the Franken lift and Jeepin AL's Arms then I’m going to get RockLizars Rear and front bumper.
