So we have seen people do ifs drops on the kj. I don't necessarily like the idea of an ifs knuckle spacer and cradle drop or a-arm drop. Although this got me thinking. What if you could move the whole diff/a-arm cradle forward. To get the tire off the unibody and maybe allowing clearance for some true 33's or maybe 34's. Now your probably thinking now there's way in heck the uppers can move forward. No they won't without fancy fabricating. Got me thinking with the small cradle drop needed for the stretch you would need a knuckle extension. This knuckle extension could maybe be elongated to account for the lca moving and the uppers staying in the same place. Would be kinda funky but in theory it could possibly work.

Talk about placing incredible stress on the UCA.Then you got to make a extension for the R&P,move the radiator up for diff and R&P clearance,move the motor mounts,and not to mention the cradle bolts have weld nuts buried deep in the uniframe since it's almost like 3 frames built into one in that area. |
