I emailed inquiring about this lift a while back and was told the rear springs were not available in the states, it could be now though. The springs are advertised to give less lift because some places (australia maybe??) will not allow too much lift from stock. You will get more then 1.5" of lift.

They probably only go 1.5 do cover their butts with the brake lines

I too was eyeing the lift and I had heard about the 1.5" being a insurance thing so I emailed them hoping to get a real lift height... no response, I wish someone could get their hands on this to comment on the actual lift heigh beacuse thanks to the forum I have heard nothing but good about OME lifts.

KJ OME lifts say the same thing and we all know you get more than advertised.

But not the KK *rear* springs. That is what we need. If we get those, the spacer lifts which most of KKers use, which is all we can get right now (unless you want to give JBA almost or over $1000), will all disappear.

In the frankenlift thread I posted links to all the so called KK OME springs and shocks and JBA does say the springs are for a KK. Check it out
