What have you done to your KK lately

Yep, that's what I have. I was thinking that the front would go down a little after the alignment, but wasn't sure. I'll let you know how it looks when I get it aligned. I still have a few things to button up, like the stuck/broke swaybar link bolt. and I still have to re-torque all the bolts now that it's finally on the ground.

Did a floating clevis lift this weekend here are the before and after I did not use the conduit nuts this time may do again really just wanted to do it or see if I could,lol

Took a lot of photos along the way here's one that really made me wonder where this jeep has been.

The stock wheel center caps trap water behind them so they rust easy.

Hi what's up with this clevis it's unlike what I've seen in photos, I'm afraid to torque it up to 80, not sure where it's at now but it seems to be just squishing the collar, is the torque setting different than on earlier years as this is a 2012.

I forgot what I spent for my 3 like in the photo above but I found the cheapest place was at the parts counter at the Jeep dealership, they should be cheaper at the counter there then on the Mopar website at least this is so at my dealership.

Happy hunting lol

I installed mine a few weeks back and they cost me around 250$ with all the hardware(nutsertz, serting tool and bolts) and that's at the dealer.

Installation was fairly easy.

You got 4 skids for 250$?!?! That seems like an awesome deal

I figured, mine had sat in the garage long enough lol

I still need the fuel tank skid, prob have the dealer do that.

Bmxer, I have an extra Nutsert tool let me know if you want/need it.

TIJKK1220 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2014 1:34 am

I paid 260 shipped for all but the gas tank skid. Unfortunately I was given a xfer case skid for a kj.... So I'll have to rectify that

I was also given two nutsert tools

para_seb · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2014 6:47 am

Sorry, the gas tank skid was not included at 250$.

TIJKK1220, the part numbers and the instructions that i received were for a KJ as well and everything fit perfectly...

TIJKK1220 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2014 7:34 am

Yea, the instructions were for a kj and that's all well and good. However the plates for the kj and kk are slightly different due to the location of the fuel tank.

There is no way for me to mount this plate properly

para_seb · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2014 8:59 am

I guess I got the right one then.. i got the part numbers from posts on here...

On you can exchange the one you have for the right one without to many problems...

dcbelcher26 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2014 10:17 am

I was just quoted $168.40 for the radiator ($56.60), transmission ($65.35), and transfer case ($46.45) skid plates. Is that a pretty good deal? This is from the dealer ship. The gas tank skid is $375 on its own. They don't include hardware though

In my case i skipped the radiator skid because it was hard/long to get it... But i added the engine/front skid plate(110$ without hardware)...

The hardware is a killer as well at the dealer, the hardware kit for the engien skid was 25$ and the one for the radiotor skid was close to 50$... Just to let you know, that these bolts don't come cheap at the dealer...

TIJKK1220 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 17, 2014 10:56 am

Mine came with all the hardware. I opted out of getting the radiator skid because I have the ath bumper that provides more than enough protection there.

I'm going to try and find a dealership near me and see if they'll swap out
