I know there was a lot of talk about different lift design possiblities and I was just wondering if anyone has heard any word on if any of these have come to life or a progress report maybe.

Either way you're going to need a pretty decent amount of cash.

I have everything on the front finished and ready for production. I an working on making longer control arms for the rear axal. I want to have everything finished and ready for the Jeff Daniel's Jeep show Sept. 22.

I have the 4" front struts for sale as of this weekend. http://jeepinbyal.com/detail.aspx?ID=14

I will get the rear springs, shocks and Y link adapter for the rear end on my site next week.

All good things take time.

When the KJ is paid off, there will be plenty of money for the lift and then some. No hurry to pay off 0% interest though.

Marlin,
You may want to take another photo of that strut assembly, this time with the spring isolators in place. I see that they are included in the package list, but when I see the photo, it looks like something was forgotten.

How will you need to modify the front CV? Is this as simple as using the CVs that you have for sale that are heavier design that I know you have mentioned didn't bind with your previous set ups. I am just wondering? I see that upper A arms is recommended for this anything different needed for lower A arms ball joint ect.

I am curious if the strut assembly has been installed on a regular Liberty not just Al's old modified one. I don't see how it will work.

I have Eibach springs with a custom strut and custom strut mounts, It will give a 4" lift on regular Libertys!

With the 4" lift we had to cut 3/8" off the outer edge of the CV joints to give the axle clearance at full extension.

33's should fit with a 4" lift on the KJ. I think superlift had bigger.

The webiste states 4 and 6 will be available.
