After Big "O" Tire not being able to put the kit on, I went to 4 Wheel Parts. They had no problem doing it,

BDS Lift kit
Front: Before lift. 18" After lift 21" Both sides.
Bilstein F4-BE5-D916-HO Front struts.
Terraflex extended front bumps stops.
2 Conduit nuts each side.

Rear: Before. Drivers side 17 3/4" Pass. 18" After. Driver side 20 1/2" Pass. 21"
3 Isolators each side.
2 Hockey pucks each side.

Don't know how to post pictures, but Here is the link to Photobucket: http://s710.photobucket.com/albums/ww102/jsndrsn/Lifted%20Jeep/

The bottom one makes his KJ look lower so is it a before/after thing only reversed? Looks good either way. :pepper:

Your right, it's reversed. It's after/before

Did you do any measuring to see how much you gained or just where it's sitting at now?

Looks good, what are your plans on tires, size, brand, etc??

The measurments are in the OP. Look at Front and Rear for measurments.

Looks way better for sure.
265-75s will never clear at 21 inches, you'll have to do some additions to your lift by then ( upgrade!! :wink: )

Looks good. I'm a new KJ owner. I've been trying to find a place to get mine lifted, I don't currently have a place to do it myself and my comfort level after looking it over isn't exceptionally high. Were you pretty happy with 4 Wheel Parts? Were they pretty reasonable?

Very easy to do a lift on a KJ
Throw a lift party, there's enough people around you to have one. Lost count of how many we have done just across the border from you. I've done a bunch here in my garage from Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia.
For what you pay a place like that you can buy other things that you'll "just have to buy" for your Jeep! :-)r

Thanks for the advice. I've been checking out this forum for some time now while I tried to find the right KJ. I didn't feel right joining until I was an owner. :wink: I'm looking forward to getting to know some local KJ owners, hopefully I'll get to know some that like to attend lift parties. :BANANA:

Went off-roading on the 22nd, and I am very pleased with the ride and the handling. I can go faster now than I could with the old suspension, and don't have to worry as much about scraping the undercarriage.
