| Post subject: | Lift height |
Did my lift this week on my 2011 KK. alignment came in true at Caster L/R 0.3/-0.2 Camber L/R 3.2/2.2 Toe L/R 0.07/0.10 Now for my heights (center of wheel to flair): LF = 20” RF = 20.25” LR = 21” RR = 21.5” This seems low for my setup (Front: OME 927/90009 + 1/4” top plate(between mount and body) new iso’s, Rear: OME 731/N132L + 2 extra ISO’s on top of each spring). Unfortunately I did not get a before measurement. It is all stock, with all factory skid plates. (no extra weight from bumpers or sliders). |

Getting before measurements might not be super helpful at gauging lift height anyway, since your stock springs would have sagged by now. I think new KK’s measured 18”, center of wheel to fender in the front and 19” in back. +/- 1/2” of course. So it looks like you have a 2” lift. I think 2” is a good height for the KK. It’s high enough to add necessary ground clearance and run the next size up in tires if you want, but not so high that you stress out your CV axles or get unwanted side effects in your traction control program. OME springs and shocks will be a world of difference in terms of ride and handling from what you had before. Enjoy! |

Thanks for the input, I was concerned that it was sitting low after reading of many lifts with 22-23” with similar setup. I might pull one iso, or just add clevis (in a couple weeks after settles) to level it. |

With 927s you generally get 2.25-2.5 inches of lift over new stock height so being a kk 20.5 is mostly what most get with nothing else added KJs come higher from the get go at 19 so with 927s they do sit at 21.5 |
