the suspension on the front of a KJ is shorter then that on a KK. so a KJ lift is not going to give you as much lift. the KJ frankenlift for the front would lift it about 2" on a KK.

there was some discussion for which i measured my stock clevis when i had my RK lift on. someone looking for the KK clevis cause they though it was longer but im pretty sure we determined that they are the same, pretty sure anyway cause theyre still sitting here. :lol:

I have to find the lenght of the ome coils and struts. I figured the rear I would use jba 2.5 springs with a few isolaters. If I remember right I think some one said the new springs are a bit longer that 2.5 of lift

The JBA 2.5" rear springs will not raise the rear that amount. They simply level the rear with ~2.5" of lift in the front. Idk how tall you would be in the front, if we knew that would help us figure out what you would need for the front. If I had to guess you could pry use the 2.5 JBAs and the RK spacers and be close.

You could do that but why spend 200 on springs and still have to add iso, might as well leave the RK spacer and add isos til something else comes out.
