33's fit like a glove

now that looks way better than a lifted Kj in my opinion

Now the KK looks more like a newer model of the Cherokee than the KJ was like this!

On your testing the image from the rear the KK looks level but the axle is not. This is a good thing! My question it more to digger will your truck flex like this and be level?

Also the plastic "rock rails" not sure what they are called are missing do you plan to add them back on? I wonder how one would put a 2x3 tube as the rock rail and finish the top part inside the door where when open the plastic cover a unfinished area.....

On the "small curb" I found, my KK did stay level

Well done.

Would you say that if one gets the JBA 4" not to order the shocks that come with it??

Agreed lol. Didn't realize how old this thread was. I'm seriously considering ordering a set of 33"s after seeing this. My duratracs still have some tread left on em tho. :banghead:

Lol true story. What was he running anyway? I just took a look at his sig and all he has listed are 4.56's and a 3" Fox lift with JBA UCAs and 1.25" backspacing

4.56 gears, arb locker front and rear.
3'' fox lift, Jba A arms
33'' Bfg KM2 with 1 1/4'' wheel spacers

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Mar 20, 2014 7:18 am

But much more than 3 inches of lift
I forget what all he used but its posted on here somewhere

Ted15 · **Posted:** Sat May 03, 2014 8:46 am

I don't remember either but he did quite a bit of machine work. It's a very interesting thread if you can find it.

mawlkrawler · **Posted:** Tue May 06, 2014 11:39 pm

Found the thread. Looks like his setup is:

JBA A arms
JBA 4'' rear springs
Eibach 12'' 500# springs
Fox Coilover reservoir 5'' travel
Fox shock reservoir 10'' travel
Custom Machined Mounting Hardware
Re-geared to 4.56
Rear Coil Spring Spacers

Although, after everything installed he said he only got around 2.5" in the front so he tossed in a 1/2" spacer in the rear hit 3" so he could fit the 33"s

Its finally done. well there are still a few bugs to work out but its drivable. Im at 3'' lift over stock with all my armor installed (approx 600#). The amount of lift in front is adjustable so I cranked the front to match the rear jba 4'' springs witch just gave me 2.5'' lift btw

(2.75'' if I remove all the armor) I made 1/2'' spacers to jack up the rear a little more to get to 3'' witch is enough to fit 33's (with the pinch weld cut) So far the ride is great.)

i did a research trying to find options for the front suspension and found that the problem is the clevis shock mount. it needs to be custom made like he did. for the top they already have convertion plates thac can be bolt on to the stock top mount

but for the bottom they need to be machined like he did

33's fit like a glove
