Just bought the JBA upper A-arms and I would like to know if anyone had installed the struts. I want to know if this struts really improve the ride/articulation for OFF ROADING. Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks

They have 10" of travel. You're sway bar will be the limiting factor. If you got sway bar disconnects you'll have more flex.

Do you have a picture of the struts installed and the sway bar disconnects?

The KK adjust a struts have a narrower diameter spring than stock or OME, which eliminates any spring-uca contact while flexing. It’s also a better quality ride on the road.

You will never regret runnning the coilovers.
Have them on both 03 and 04 KJs ( same setup as the KK of course )
Ride/ handling and off road are far better than anything else available
smoother ride / off road it floats

I have the old style made with Bilstein shocks. I absolutely love them. Ride and perform better than my OME 927s both on and offroad. As far as articulation, because of the tighter/smaller spring you can get a little more drop/more lift before having the upper control arms contact the springs. Honestly your real limiting factor with front articulation is the tie-rods and sway bar links. Without the sway bar connected you might gain an additional inch or so, but then you start binding the tie rod ends.
