I want to find out if the KK clevis is actually longer then the KJ. Would anyone mind measuring theirs... Thanks |

Thanks It's an inch longer than the KJ. It does bolt right up to a KJ front strut assembly though. |

Thanks RL, so would that mean an inch of lift if it was to be used on the KJ or would it be even higher? |

well if you use a clevis lift of say 1/4 inch you get double that (1/2 inch) so I would think it would be the same, so with that thought using a stock suspension you would get about 2 inches, cheap lift for sure, or wait how much are they for a pair?????? |

I called jeep and they quoted me 61 a piece. not bad for potentially 2 inches of lift along with 2.5 from the coil. we are still talking under a grand and then spend the money on the reel shortened CV's. I don't know, just thinking. |

Sounds like a good idea. Not a bad price for $61/each ($122/pair). Probably would have to shave the stock CV axles or get JE Reels axles. |

4 inch of lift using only those two componentsNot too shabby, and pick up the 4" coils for the back. 32" tire 4.10s je reel cvs be looking pretty good. |

would like to mock it up with just OME springs and the KK clevis, also with Als arms see where it would sit, someone send me a set and I will try it. can have them on there in 45 minutes or less

I'm sure, but depending on how they look getting them off may not be so easy...
