Hi all! As most of you know, JBA discontinued all lift kits for the KK. I can only find a 3.5"-2.5" front and 2" rear lift from sky jacker that isn't spacers.

The only trackbar I can find is JBAs 4.0" and higher one. My overall goal is to put 33s on my Jeep. Yes I know serious work needs to be done is what I'm told by my friend.

Do any of you know if any other lift kits are available? I looked into adding spacers ontop of the skyjacker lift. I don't plan on rock-climbing with the KK, just mudding every once in awhile.

Also, I know I'll need longer brake lines and new upper control arms if I go above 2.5" (I'm going to replace them anyways) but what else needs to be done to achieve the 4.0" lift? My goal is to have a 4.5"-5.0" front and 4.0" rear. (My winch and front bumper from ATH and how it comes from the factory will level itself out hopefully).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

General reviews from skyjacker have not been good. I would look into an OME setup. Look at the lift faq post in the tech section for more info.

As for wanting 4-5" of lift, you'll be eating CV axles. 4" is pretty much max. Not saying not to do it, just cautioning about it.

Thank you! I purchased the OME lift. I'll probably stick with this. However I cannot find a new rear adjustable track bar. Would the stock track bar be okay?

If the lower rear control arms for the KK are the same length as the KJ, then you can replace them with the IronRock adjustable arms sold for the WJ (Grand Cherokee).

I have a set of them installed on my Jeep KJ diesel. They are super heavy duty!
Note: Did have to weld on sway bar mounts. Pictured below.

Length range 15 3/4" to 19 3/8"

I purchased a custom pan-hard bar from SPOHN Performance. Cheaper than JBA and can have it made to what ever length you need.
If you contact them to have one made, tell them Patrick Lang sent you.
Pan-hard bar fits the KK and Nitro
