Hey guys,

I got my Rock Krawler Xfactor 3.5" lift and went to install it today. I ran into a huge problem. The RK inside diameter of the new fork was 1/8" smaller than the outside diameter of the bottom of the strut. It was actually slightly more than 1/8" difference. I tried to pry the opening but that was a dead end. Has anyone else had this problem. If so, was was your solution or did they maybe send me the wrong part. I did double check the part number on the box and it was correct for the KK.

Sounds about right for rock Krawler most of us KK and KJ guys stay away. Did you try contacting them?

I'd get a refund and consider myself luck to have found out what their products are like.

I had the same problem. I wound up putting them in a vise and driving a steel wedge(first ball joint fork, then log splitting wedge) into the gap space from the top and bottom. Finally got them on after 5 hours of struggling with the first on to figure out how to do it. The second side went MUCH faster. A lot of people bash the Rock Crawler lift (an I have to tell you the install SUCKS), but I've beat the tar out of my KK off road and the stand up just fine. hat being said I do plan to replace the pucks in the rear with springs, and I did add Bilstein shocks in the rear when I did the lift. Good Luck!

Thanks for the info. I just got done with the first one, and I did beat the heck out of it to spread it far enough. Hopefully, like you said, the second one will go on a lot easier! Assuming all goes well with the rest of the lift, I will be going to get my new ATX 185 Crawl wheels with Nitto Terra Grapplers 245/70/17's tomorrow.
