Well if you're so gun ho about it, go for it and then come back and tell us all the problems you encountered. Then we can all say I told you so. Tom didn't Larry do a cradle drop ALONG with his lift and tons of cutting? What do you know though?

Right now I believe I have 2.5 inch spacers front and rear could I replace them with just the 4 inch springs from jba with new shocks? I have the jba arms also |

You have to use the whole "kit" if you want his 4 inch includes everything you need throw everything you have now away or you have other options like Ironman, OME, Frankenlift etc |

I just want to fit a 33x11.5r18 or so and I'd have to cut about an inch on what I have now. Or just some better coils |

Is there a way I could just get another 1-1 1/2 out of what I already have? |

As of now I have 265/75r16 which is practically a 32" tire. I have about an 1 1/2 to spare, I have had a lot of cutting and my aftermarket bumpers gave me more space. If I was about an inch higher I know for sure I could fit, I could fit them now but they would rub |

And also why the 4.56's or 4.88's I mean our kj's have a 3.7 v6? I know guys running 37's with 4 cyl tjs with those gears. |

Because with 245/75-16's the KJ is right on the edge of being a real dog without going to 4.10's. With the tires you want to put on it you'll never be able to use Overdrive - or if you try the tranny will fry in short order. Keep your JBA upper control arms and replace everything else with OME 927/948, a top plate in the front above the shock mount, lift the clevis 3/8" of an inch, put in a Terraflex bumpstop in front, add two rear upper iso's with 2 hockey pucks for a bumpstop. Then go with 245/75's and plan on regearing the front and rear to 4.10's. Bob |
