Hi All,

I just installed a full ironman suspension kit (spring & shocks) and it gave me a pretty decent lift. It is 710mm at front & 760mm at back.

The vehicle rides really well

The funny thing is that it seems to sit really high at back and much lower at the front.

I'm from Melbourne -oz, so you dont get to see many lifted around.

What can I do to fix this??

The KJ naturally sits lower in the front to start with. Someone on here will tell you what you need to do to level it out. Good luck, post some pictures.

Drive it for a bit and let it settle...then you can adjust with a "clevis" lift...mentioned in the Tech Section.


Uh, you can't make a post like this without PICS
