I finally got around to installing a mild lift kit on the KK this morning. I installed Boilers top plate shims (i believe they were 3/8") along with a clevis lift while the front was apart. (3 2' conduit lock nuts per side). It totaled out to be about a 1.5" gain on the front.
On the rear i added 2 extra iso's (1 top and 1 bottom) for the left side, and just one top for the right side to fix that little bot of drivers side lean probably caused by the gas tank.
The install was very simple, I followed a write up on the board for a JBA 2.5 spring lift for. The whole job only took about 3 hours by myself with basic tools (no compressor yet
)
The ride still fells stock, maybe the rear feels a bit spongier (in a comfortable way) but that might be temporary until the isos seat with the springs.
Overall i couldn't be happier for about 65 bucks worth of parts to get rid of the front end rake.
The pics are below, the measuring tape picture is the front drivers wheel well.
BTW my driveway is slanted, so you will have to take my word on the back to front rake being leveled out!
