Wow it is nice to see non bashing about a failed prototype...
As wel all know test peices fail.. that is why they are test pieces....

lets just be happy it was tested...

I try and call things fairly. Yes, I know it's a prototype and it is bound to fail. And for that reason, I will not dog on a product UNLESS a companies customer service is the pits. Marlin at JBA has been excellent thus far and has really bent over back words to make this lift marketable......

Thanks bettsyboy. So the daystar 2" lift does indeed lift 2"

congrats on the 2010 kk purchase.
How long did you even have it before changing out
the tires and lifting it?

Thanks... It was about a week before it was lifted. :lol:

I ordered the lift 3 weeks in advance but it was still late showing up by a bit... the shocks and the tires were in parts before delivery, if the lift was there I would have never driven my Jeep at original height.

Ok so in a nut shell, because of a design flaw with the very first PROTO type set of JBA UCA's, in combination with my driving, the UCA's trashed out the front coil overs because of contact made between the UCA's and the coil. Since the initial install, Marlin at JBA has produced a set set of production UCA's that have addressed the clearance issue. Also, a totally new coil over is being produced to also address the clearance issues. With the new set up, a 6 inch lift should be possible with out having the problems that I have had.

Once I get the OK from the higher ups, I will post up a complete failure analysis....

Now im going to be buying some JBA UCAs. Are the current KK ones on the site the new revised ones or the ones that have problems?

Good question. Would be nice to see in jba's website a version number listed and what was improved. I think this would help for more sales as people see they do care (we know they do) and less questions to him.

The current for sale (or not for sale) is still V1.0.

V2.0 is still a few weeks away as their is till machining to be done on the front end parts and we are still playing with spring rate/lengths in the rear. If I could say more, I would. Marlin will have to update the listing once he is done, trust me :wink:

This new improvement will provide a whole new level of tune-ability to the front end, while offering a better ride and better off road ability in terms of range of motion with the KK. Both the KK and KJ markets will be pleased with the new set up........

PM me late E2 :wink:

Oh, and the UCA's are the corrected one. There were only a few sets of the old/defective ones that were sent out. Since then, marlin has replaced all of them with the new ones.

The only way to tell the two sets apart is to look at the ball joint. If you find a set with spacers in between the knuckle and UCA, that is the old ones. The new ones use a shorter shafted ball joint (so so dirty :shock:

)
