Does anyone know approximately how much the stock KJ (06) suspension sags after about 70K/3.5 years?

OK but really if you take the number of years divided by the mileage times the number of miles driven only in Ohio and subtract any miles outside of Ohio , then next pull up next to a new never driven 06 KJ :lol:

really maybe 1 inch :wink:

ThunderbirdJunkie has some Rusty's front springs that would do you right with some 1.5" spacers out back! ;)

i only ask because i saw a Libby today while i was driving home from work, looked fairly stock, but made me feel like a F#$%@& minivan!

i dont know if anyone around Reynoldsburg owns a lifted KJ, but it looked pretty stock.

Depends there are a couple of 02s around here that look lifted but are stock , one is a two wheel drive with less than 21000 miles on it, older lady owns it but looks lifted almost :lol: :lol: :lol:

Fisrt get yourself 2 upper isolators and 2 lowers, regardless of what you hear the lower ones will do fine, next do yourself a clevis lift, you can buy the 2" conduit nuts, or have a machine shop make the ones like I have in the picture below, I even included my scribble shhet the machine guy used to make them, you will probably wind up re using them when you do a real lift. One pair is 3/8" and the second pair are 1/4". But dont forget that your stock springs are shot and if you do this your ride quality may get bad, and will only last for a short while. Good luck
