i was looken round comparing the kj to kk front struts. they look pretty much identical to me. so im curious if you can use longer front springs and struts from a kj into a kk |

I Believe they are the same except the KK suspension allows for more travel which can cause premature failure on lifts over 4". I think this happened to diggerfreak when he was testing a SkyJacker 4" Lift. He will chime in. |

The front's between the two are basically the same. Coil over wise, the KK has a longer clevis fork, but the rest of it is the same... |

The Rear Coils are not the same but JBA sells this kit for the KK Fronts: http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-Skyjacker_fr ... t-588.aspx Back: http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-Rear_coil_sp ... K-612.aspx Back Shocks: http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-BILSTEIN___H ... r-678.aspx or whichever other shocks you want that are 2.5". Refer to viewtopic.php?f=104&t=46114 Replacement Upper Control Arms are not needed but RECOMMENDED as your balljoints will be at a bad angle with the lift. The arms that most people here will recommend are by JBA also. http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-Als_Upper_A_ ... s-575.aspx |

The skyjacker lift is not bad for what it is. It is a step above spacer lifts, but 2 steps below a full bilstein set up..... |

Ya its not a full bilstein but after 10K my spacers are making my KK ride like a tank, its horrible, Getting the Skyjacker should atleast make it near stock ride im hoping. I wish i could get the full Bilstein but just too much money, the Ms. would kill me

you all ready have the JBA arms so make sure you take that off the price, that might make it a little easier to swallow |

Ya just for the front setup is 1500 instead of 650, which obviously is for the better performance and ride but ill be fine as long as i can get back to about Stock Ride on road since these spacers are garbage(Yes Tom and others told me so  ).
