New 7UP Rock Krawler lift for kj

hollyskjrenegade · **Posted:** Thu Aug 04, 2005 1:19 pm

Does anyone know anything about a new 7in lift for the kj? I read about one in an offroad magazine. It showed a white liberty limited with 35in tires and a 7in lift. I must say that was one GORGEOUS liberty! That lift was awesome and the tires HUGE! Looked awesome on a kj.

Naw. If Holly goes over the old post and perhaps PMs fireblad this thread goes quietly.

Yeah, the Libby would look amazing sitting still with a 24 inch spacer lift. :lol:

OOOOhhhhh here we go again. Well, lets just say that:

- Its a useless piece of garbage
- It costs an arm and a leg
- It can not be correctly installed by anybody (not even their creators)
- It can endanger your rig's integrity

Other than that, its a great lift!!!

Don't sweat it

It's just a touchy subject here (for reasons outlined above).

Oh, and welcome to the forum :mrgreen:

Never mind, man! Just to let you know we are very straightforward as regards products quality and vendors service, here.

And I think we all want some direct and unbiassed opinion on the various topics covered here every day. That's precisely the value of our group.

Oh, and welcome as well.

I think the value in a group like this is we get to make our own minds whether the views presented are reasonable, and assign our own values as to the veracity of such views.

It's no longer a one-sided presentation where vendors get to show us rosy pictures, glossy catalogs and promises. We have actual real-life experience to compare and contrast.

I think I'm rambling .... hopefully somewhere in there my meaning came through. Sorry, must be spicy lunch :roll:

I'm just glad RK tried to develop this lift in the first place. It might not be successful as we and they had hoped, but at least they took on the challenge. If other manufacturers can learn from their mistakes and improve upon them, then WE all win.

Actually....I think the verdict was that It worked great....on the street , and looked awsome at a stop light

wasn't that it ?

Four Wheeler magazine says the KJ wheeled like crazy with the 7 up kit installed. I am not taking up for it because I have no experience with it. But in September issue of Four Wheeler they make the kit sound and look awesome. Even if this one is a piece of junk, like the above post said I'm glad they took on the challenge and now maybe some other companies will try their hand at it as well.

I read that 7-up article. I don't believe it reads like THEY tested it themselves, but were going on what RK said. All of those reviews seemd to be provided by the makers. Very few mags have the cojones to rip a product made by an advertiser. Primedia only allows their people to rip on KJ's... :cry:

Heck, they LOVED the Suzuki Grand Vitara and still crack on the libby...

Someone should right the editor and inform them of the issues that we are aware of and ask if THEY actually wheeled it or if they're taking RCs word.

Sounds like you need to volunteer Adam.

Yeah but then I'd actually have to buy the issue!
