I know the RK 3.5" lift uses a new clevice vs spacers or an OTT spacer. However, does anyone make a 2" lift using only a longer clevice? Seems like a better idea, instead of having to disassemble the whole strut to install poly spacers. I heard that some 4x4 retailers (Rusty's) sell a longer clevice that supposedly is for a KJ, but will fit the KK, and give it 2" of lift in the front. Is this true? |

The rk kit definetely isn't 3.5, it more like 2". Rustys sells an ott spacer lift for the kk and and spring lift for the kj, but the front lift springs will work for a kk (for a while until they sag- same spring rate as stock) |

Yes, I know that already. It seems there are alot of good budget kits available. What I am also wondering is if they have a budget 1" lift/level kit. I know most trucks have them available, but haven't found one yet for the Jeep KK. Basically, i heard you can get a 1.75" lift clevice for the front.. ... and a 1-1.25" spacer for the rear. This gives it under 2" total lift, but also helps level it. I just need to find out where the heck to get the parts. Any ideas? |

If you put a 3/8" gap in your factory clevis, you'll get just under 3/4" of free lift. Never heard of this 1.75" clevis you're asking about. Adding a 1/4" top plate will give you another 1/2" of lift....... So that's a little over 1" in the front. http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-Strut_spacer ... t-684.aspx The rear you can add two extra spring isolators per side for 1/2" or so. This is called a Wes Way Lift. |
