Lift ????

LeatherNeck97 · **Posted:** Tue Dec 08, 2009 5:29 pm

Hey, I am new, but not. Joined in 2005, but didn't come back til now. Anyway, I have a 2003 Jeep KJ Limited 4X4 with 17" factory wheels and I just bought the OME 948's and 927's with Bilsteins and TeraFlex bumpstops from JBA. Am I going to need anything else to complete this lift. I also am thinking about 245/70/17 MTR with Kelvar, but really would like to go alittle bigger? Any answers or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thats a good start
depends on if you want some "extra height" or not
can do a clevis in the front extra top isolators in the rear and a few other tricks :wink:

Thanks Tom. I bought them separately, not in a "kit" so I was making sure I wasn't missing anything. I'm hoping not to have to do any trimming except for the pinch weld. Oh well if I do though. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. I'm going to measure and take pics of the before and after. Hope my KJ gets a manly look to it finally.

Do you have rear bumpstops, if not two hockey pucks per side works great if you need a pic let me know :wink:

No I don't yet. I was going to do hockey pucks, but being in the South, our Academy store doesn't carry anything for ice hockey. I might have to go with rubber mallets. I've been reading on here for a month while I was waiting to get my account. I can see some pics, but haven't got to see all of them due to our restrictions on the network. I did see the pics of how to do the rear ones though. I did look at my factory ones and it looks like the outer layer cracked and all the inside foam or whatever is falling out. Do you have a cheap replacement idea on those?

Cheap replacement parts are always found at your local junkyard. :wink:

Well, that works if you can find a Jeep in the junkyard around here. All the KJ's are on the road down here.

Don't forget strut spacer plates. A quick and easy 1/2 to 9/16 inch of lift. http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-Strut_spacer_plate_set-684.aspx

Thanks for all the replies. I am picking my tires up tomorrow and putting on the lift on Sunday. I am going with just the lift for now and will add plates, rear iso's, clevis rings after getting it on and seeing where its gonna be sitting. Then I'll watch for any sagging. If or when that happens, I'll use those to get it back up or if I wanna go alittle higher I will then. I'm putting $1589 dollars into it just with the lift and tires. I getting 245/70/17 Goodyear MT/R with Kevlar. I will post the before and after pics as soon as its finished.

If you need strut plates I can supply those. I have them in stock now. They are priced right considering shipping is included and I can get them to you in 3-4 days probably. And they work without having to grind on them.

Sorry, Boiler, I forgot. Oh, and Boiler sells cool aluminum plates for about the same cost as those listed above. :wink:
