Are there any lifts out there for a KJ that retain the stock stance after lifting? All the installed lifts I've seen flatten the Jeep out. I'd like to lift mine while retaining the stock stance (front slightly lower).

Most of the lifted KJ's also do the clevis lift too. If you leave the clevis alone, you should still have the raked look. If you want more, you could always add an extra rear top isolator. That would bump up the rear a little more than the front.

Or add a bumper and winch to the front and that will take care of the problem. :lol:

What lift do you have and when was it installed?

If it is a rustys spring lift...the front will settle after it breaks in and will have the raked look. If it is a franken then the front usually sits higher till it breaks in...then generally sits pretty level.

If all else fails. Add an extra rear isolator pad to bring the rear up a bit.

I don't have a lift yet, but am going to buy the Frankenlift one of these days. Thanks for the tips.
