Can I do 3 inches needing al's A arms? And the rear shocks do I want the 60069 shocks of the N132L long shocks? Also I'm stacking the iso's on top of one another correct? Can I reuse the stock ones?

You can do 3 inches without JBA UCAs BUT be warned at that height and above it does put extra stress on the UBJ, so at some point will need to do them
They ( OME ) does not make the extended shock any longer so need to move to the Bilstein line for the shocks you want depending on height
Yes in the rear add one extra upper iso per side for an extra 1/2 inch lift

Hi TMan,

If you visit JBA up in Hatfield, they should be able to hook you up with what you need, and certainly give you good advice on what lift parts would be needed to have a well balanced and safe setup at 2.5", 3+", and 4", and answer your installation questions. If I were you I'd call ahead and make sure they have an OME KK lift kit there so that at the very least you could get the 2.5" kit the same day. For the more specialized parts (A-Arms, track bars, etc. for the taller lifts) they can tell you if they have them on hand or if they would need to manufacture more before you get there.

To your question on shocks: For a 2.5 inch lift, the front shocks are the same length as stock, but you would need longer rear shocks. Since OME no longer makes the longer KK shocks but Bilstein does, you would need to go with a pair of Bilsteins. That's what I've been running for the past 80K miles and they are still good, so I am very happy with them. There may be other brands that sell the length you need too, but the Bilsteins are quality.

Marlin usually has his lifted KJ and 2 WK's parked there at the shop. Be sure to check those out! Some are up at 6" with 33's.

Yes, Marlin is the owner of JBA. He knows just about everything you'll want to ask him about the lift install, and if you need more info, Tommudd is the guy around here to ask. He's installed more than 30 KJ & KK lifts for LOST members in his driveway! When I got my lift I didn't know as much about wrenching as I do now, didn't have the tools, and didn't have a driveway either, so I paid Jeff Daniels Jeeps in Harleysville to do the install for me. Knowing what I do now, I would probably organize a lift party with some of the guys from LOST (at someone's house with a driveway) and save myself $1000, and use some of the money I saved as a thank you to my host/installer, BBQ, and beer! Where are you located? There are some guys in NJ, Long Island NY, south central PA, and OH that are still active on here and might help you install on a weekend. Then go take it for an alignment locally before you drive home, and you'll be set.

In terms of the Bilsteins, sorry but whatever markings that used to be on them has worn off and I don't remember. Tommudd should know though. So would Marlin. I'd guess he would have them in stock or could ship them to you.

I am located in Smethport Pa. an hour and a half south of buffalo NY and about an hour and a half east of Erie Pa. middle of nowhere is a accurate description.

i dont have much knowledge about suspension but i do know how to work an impact gun and from all the reading ive done i think i can tackle it without a shop. i do remember reading about so clunking and pops people would get after it was installed. i read that bolts had to be tightened while the vehicle had its weight on it. what bolts have to be tightened with the kk on the ground to avoid the clunking.
IMPACT GUN?? HAVE DONE OVER 45 lIBERTY LIFTS WITHOUT ANY IMPACTS ETC ONLY HAND TOOLS, MORE CHANCE OF BREAKAGE WITH IMPACTS THE WAY SOME PARTS ARE RUSTED
lastly tires will follow soon after the lift. can i get an alignment before i get the tires YES CAN GET AN ALIGNMENT RIGHT AWAY AND THEN AFTER IT SETTLES IN or should i get the tires before the alignment. during the alignment should the SAS and clockspring be reset? im probably better off getting it done a a dodge/jeep dealership? they can recalibrate the speedo digitally for the new tires?NO RECALIBRATION

Marlin is the shop owner? I'm about 5 hours away from Hatfield and I have some money burning away at my pocket. It's still my daily driver but I'm getting into the "overlanding" scene and a lift will help when on the trail. I reviewed some instructions scaro or maybe you posted about the JBA 2.5" lift saying it's identical to the OME. But will instructions be included with the OME kit? And anything from your guys knowledge I should keep an eye out for when I perform the install?
