Hey guys i was just wondering if it was possible for our kk's to get a lift higher than 4 inches? I read somewhere that we cant but i just wanted to make sure with you guys because i trust you guys more than anyone when it comes to my liberty... Even though i dont really post on the site too much

You could with a solid front axle swap, but I don't think anyone has done it to the new liberty's yet.. :JEEPIN:

Sfa= probably around 10-15k, but really depends on what you get.
There are a couple of guys who claim around 5 inches of lift- Boblemoche and Clacker. I can't see certain components surviving the extreme angles for very long though.

I dropped mine from 4.75 to 4.50~4.25 just to give my CV boots a little more life.

The main problem with a SFA KK is the electronics.

10K is probably a fair estimate.

what if you started with a 2wd?

Yeah, besides the steering rack, it is doable with a few parts. You would need a new drive shaft, longer rear trailing arms, and brake lines.

I would also say you would want to re gear as well while you are at it to handle the larger tires.

what do you mean about the steering rack? does a 2wd and 4wd kk have a different rack? on the kj if you go sfa, you would use a box instead of a rack. right?

Any thing bigger than 5" would put excessive strain on the rack and pinion as well as the tie rod ends.

The steering racks are the same.

Yes, one would use a steering box for a SFA swap. If you really want to go exotic, you could do a hydro steer swap.
