Might be a cheap and easy way to add lift...I don't know if the width of the arms is the same but the length is longer... Disclaimer: I don't KNOW it the legs are spaced correctly and the longer clevis might add TOO MUCH LIFT! |

from looking at the IFS on the KK it really looks close to the new Grands,might be able to use the 4" lift from superlift on it(?),maybe. |

If that ends up being true...you and Marty better start KK aftermarket production runs 
That rear bumper/tire carrier/Jerry Can carrier combo is really nice. |

It's hard enough as it is to get the stock clevis bottom bolt in while reassembling it. I couldn't immagine doing it with an even longer clevis. |

Longer clevis on a stock strut would be about the same PITA as a stock clevis and a puc strut... I was just thinking for those with clevis spacers ect...this could be another option... Who knows...maybe the whole IFS system would transfer over...lol |

i say if your going into this much trouble to get a bigger lift, just go SFA. For the average offroader with a KJ or KK, you wont need anymore then 3 inches. Not to mention its usually around 3.5-4inches after you factor in getting bigger and taller tires to go with it. The liberty around town sure is plenty big enough with its lift lol. |

Maybe a little. Looks like there is more angle on the clevis to the outside rather than pretty much straight up and down like ours is. |

I believe its pushed further out on the control arm to make it ride better. And the coils on the spring are not as tight. |

Its defiantly mounted further out on the control arm to give a better ride. Its kinda hard to tell if its longer or not. It looks like it, but it could just be me. |
