Starting my coilover build for my KJ. I figured Id ask yall, Fox, Bilstein, or King? It should it end with about 6" of lift. I am going to document the entire build on here so everyone one else can build their own to.

So far I have the specs of each one that I might run, and got the hardware made up. Just need a tap for the shock and fiqure out a spring.

What yall think? 6" lift and coilovers?

Should I even go crazy and do coilovers on the rear like those JK guys? Plan is 34" tires. Definitely gonna be cool.

Going to be a nice mall crawler.

By the way you already have coilovers from the factory.

Hahahaha :ROTFL: yeah. You know what I mean. Adjustable coilovers. And why do you say it will a mall crawler? Not any more mall rated than your SFA Heep.

Last time I checked JBA has a 6" coilover lift, but at a price of 8k. Yeah.....

Also this isn't my first time with aftermarket coilovers or metal work. I already have 33" tires, whats another 1".

I'd like to do a mid travel IFS setup at some point. Custom yes but I'd rather go that direction than SAS

I have to agree. Those shocks are nice and shiny.
