Like the 4x4 KJ thread, only better, cause its for us!



08 47k miles on stock components w/budget lift
3.5" Rock Krawler lift and H7071 Skyjacker rear shocks

20.00 FL-FR 20.50
20.50 RL-RR 20.75

that 3.5" of lift is a bunch of BS, more like 2", plus the highish mileage on stock components isnt helping.

WoW your up there!

22.5" FL - FR 22-3/4"
22-5/8" RL - RR 22-5/8"

What front fork do you have? Do you have the front sway bar disconnects? As at full droop with them on we only get 24.5"

The KK fork, same as yours. Stock sway still connected. Droops to 24.5 and compresses 21.5, well that's the most I've been able to measure and the weight was mostly on the left front and right rear so I'm assuming that's all its got connected. Was in my avatar actually, the front right was off the ground a ways and the left rear was at full droop. As soon as I get my driveshaft on ill be removing the sway and test front articulation and experiment with stock and teraflex bumpstops. If its limited before bumpstops ill be buying different coilover springs to experiment more.

This coilover system should have 9" of travel measured with the sway bar disconnected per JBA. I have compressed my front to hmmm I don't know thought it was 18.5 but not remember that was the rear. Very interested in the out come. Did you open up the opening where the a-arms come out from the body?

no i did not modify the opening. i think marlin is pulling the 9" of travel out of his arse. maybe thats the distance the shock will travel not being attached to the Jeep. i will report back soon, maybe this weekend.
