Uh? Maybe I am missing something but I think that Lib is parked at a dealership, and low quality as it may be; if I could get a lift like that from a dealer with a warranty, I would take it hands down over anything we can currently do to mod our libs.

if the laws in NY are anything like here in New England which I'm pretty sure they are that will be sold AS IS no warrenty so good luck with who ever buy's it

so if you look on the eighth pic, counting from top left to right, at the close up of the rear diff...

does that set up come with the front kit? i havent seen the way the axle is attached to the rear link..

just curious :?:

Does anyone know WHY this kit is so bad? I know it IS bad, I've learned that much, but kits similar to this are used on other brand IFS 4X4s of all makes and models. I saw a toyota tacoma with IFS and between 5-8 inches of lift, and the owner said it works beautifully. What did Rock Krawler do wrong? Can't it be fixed?

p.s. I hate those shiny wheels on lifted vehicles. Nothing screams mall crawler worse than all the tacky add ons. AND STOP PUTTING COVERS ON HEADLIGHTS!!! What's the point of additional lighting when you're reducing the output of the vehicle's prime light source???

One the worst things I can remember hearing about this lift is that the A-arms break alot, unless that was fixed. Also, the saddle is pretty much stock height, so it is essentually a body lift for the KJ. I thought I also heard that is order to install this lift, the tranny and engine must come out.

I agree about the rims. I don't see the point in having chromed rims, and then putting them in the mud, and in and around rocks. Black Moab steel rims are great because with a little black spray paint they can look light new.

The steering knuckles break constantly, the springs pop out, the diff blows under the weight of anything bigger than 32" tires...I could go on and on. Stay far, far away. For what you're going to pay replacing / fabbing new parts just go ahead and do a SFA swap.

This is like the third thread on that lifted thing this week...the funny thing is...as of 4:30 MST on Sunday there has yet to be a single bid on it...The auction on it ends tomorrow! LOL!

You'd have to be Peter Brock to tell the toe in angles on that pic hehe!! :lol:

IT may be a dodgy kit, but you have to admit it looks tough as nuts!!

But hey, I bet some kid will buy it, then do something else stupid, looks real bling bling

JeeperCreeper · **Posted:** Sun Jun 18, 2006 9:19 am

Thats too bad it's not a good quality kit. It looks awesome.

Went into the Rock krawler web page they are not offering the kit anymore, can someone help me out if you know if anyone who did the same mistake as me buying there junk is suing them, I know im not the only one who was ruined by this company.
Thanks

Does someone know if any of the guinea pigs like me who purchased this junk is planning on suing Rockkrawler please let me know.

1. I can't wait till something snaps in the front. Unfortunately I know little to nothing in reality about suspension components, and I can tell that it's not a good thing when the wheels are at a 75 degree angle :lol:

2. That thing just looks like a joke.
