Don't do it. Rro has a horrible reputation for bad service, not sending parts, parts not fitting, and bad designs. That kit doesn't even include rear springs and has poor quality rear shocks. I've read on here that the "insane arms" didn't fit too.
I'd just get 4 old man emu springs and either 4 ome shocks or 4 bilstein shocks. You'll need teraflex front bumpstops and 2 hockey pucks per side for rear bumpstops. You can be done for around $800. 927s front and 731s rear are the more popular choice for springs. Can't remember shock pn's but a quick search and you'll find them.
Good luck.

Does this setup eliminate the forward rake? Or do you still need a spacer in the front?

Well i sure am glad i said something before i did it. Truly appreciate the input and i will most likely go with jeepin by al. I dont have much expirience with suspension, so i must ask if his more expensive suspension is worth the money?

Marlin (the owner of JBA) is one of the best people I have ever worked with.

Now if your asking if it is worth it for the adjust a strut, that depends on what you are looking to do with your KK.

I only have the front with 927s. Measuring from center of wheel to bottom of flare it's a little over 21", which is 2.5-3".
Rear should be close to the same.

I was emailing Marlin back in like 09 and was looking at his setup but wanted to wait for more options. Stupid i was then, i knew even less than i know i know now about suspension, i should have purchased it at the pre release discount. But lost track of time going overseas and dealing with personal issues. I really appreciate the help u guys have given me. Im probly going to go with the Bilstein shocks and OME springs. Im planning on doing some line x around the bottom trim of my kk and dont think ill upgrade my bumper ever.

_ReigN_ · **Posted:** Sat Feb 11, 2012 2:26 am

Going with the OME set up would u guys recommend me upgrade my A-arms?

Yep. Helps with alignment and you can go higher if you want by adding clevis lift/ top plates. Go with Als arms and everything else you need can be found on his website.

X2. If those are your plans, I don't think I would invest in the adjust a strut.
