duh....yes everyone saw it, but would we want to wheel it ..no, too many weak points. MANY years ago a group started to get together to talk about KJs and lifts, after using many springs/shocks etc they came to the conclusion that 2.5/3 inches was the max you could lift the KJ without getting into major problems. So ones like swampthing did do it but f you read he did not drive it that much. Going on to jeepinals lift look at what you have to do in order to go that high, not just use some CHEAP A** spacer kit with springs. If you want over 3 inches dont be stupid just go SFA, if you want a trailer queen then by all means go for it. listen to several years of experience on here, and quite saying well sos and so its all been discussed SEVERAL times before spend some time and go back and reread the posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only got 1.5in of lift with the OME med duty springs and 3" with the Rustys lift.

Dude chill out. I never said it was the best or a bullet proof design. I was just stating that swampthing did it, period. Would i do it? No, asking for problems. OME springs and a daystar yeah i'd try it if i had extra cash to play with but i dont. It's basically a frankenlift. I agree anything over 3" get al's lift or go straight axle if you got the cash.





Jeepster, Are your rusty's springs still holding at 3"? Mine sagged to hell. I was gonna get some ome med but if you only got 1.5" out of them im going to hold off. HD's maybe to stiff for me. I dont plan on getting a front bumper anytime soon unless i come across a used one dirt cheap. ah decisions decisions.

What spot did you measure from tommudd?

I measured mine with respect to Eddos liberty which had the franken lift. He had done a few select things to make his alittle lower than a normal franken lift and my lift was around 1" lower than his. Tire size did not matter the way we did it.

I only got 1.5in of lift with the OME med duty springs and 3" with the Rustys lift.

6.5in under the engine skid with stock springs
8in under the skid with OME springs
9.5in under the skid with rustys springs.

Measured all of those with stock tires.

Jeepster, I measured from bottom of the flare to the ground , middle of the wheel to bottom of the flare (the way I was told to do it from Marc at ARB ) and also from bottom of the mirror to the ground same place in my garage almost the samemeasurements. Ask Jon or Sean (jerbacher or sean150) mine is close to what theirs is...also not running anything in the rear except springs
I guess the HD springs lift it a decent amount more than the med springs..
