Don't know, but now is your chance to send it back!
You'll be replacing it in 30,000 miles anyway.... Get something worth while... :2cents:

Ditto. I think they are different.

thanks for the reply 03CDKJ... but its either this or nothing and im buying new tires in the next few weeks and want to go up a few sizes. Also i an going to run this lift until there is an OME lift out for the KK (hopefully there will be)

just thought about it and there is no way they are the same since they charge $10 more for the KK version. Im thinking the only difference is going to be the rear spacer not fitting

The front should definitely fit. The pattern of the strut plate bolts is the same as the kj. Rear, i dont know what will happen. I would try to find a phone number and give them a :twisted:

since you waited so long. Don't let them charge you another twentysomething $$ for shipping.

If I remember right when I did my rk lift I think it was identical to kj lift....but they specified that if it was a kk the spacer went on the bottom and if it was a kj the spacer went on the top of the rear spring

Could it be that the picture of the sheet you posted is just the instruction sheet and they only have instructions for the kj? The install should be about the same for both.

Call them to make sure
Rustys is only a half step above RRO
Don't see any bumpstops there, you'll REALLY need them in the front if you try and run that lift. That type has destroyed more front shocks than anything else

Just saying, to quote JLR

Gave them a call and he said it is the KK lift he just sends a Generic packing slip that says KJ on it and has instructions. Good to know. Oh and i ordered a set of Teraflex Bumpstops also. :SOMBRERO:

The KK and KJ front ends are basically the same.....

Sorry to veer off topic, but does anybody know the differences in kk and kj suspension? I know the rear shocks are placed different, but the front looks indentical to me. Has anyone tried fitting a kj suspension lift like frankenlift or jba's 6"?

DirtyKK · **Posted:** Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:31 am

the kk suspension is a little longer, im not sure on every aspect of the front but its all a little different. however, the shocks and springs would work from a kj. i seem to remember someone back in the day installed a frankenlift for a kj on a kk and it was about 1/2 to 3/4 inches shorter.

VoodooMann · **Posted:** Sat Sep 25, 2010 2:00 pm

I know the Clevis on the KA vs. KJ is longer, not sure about KK vs. KJ, but I would assume that since KA=KK they would be the same.

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Sat Sep 25, 2010 7:07 pm

The front clevis on a KK/KA is longer than a KJ front clevis. The UBJ sits at a different angle as well. Other than that, the KK and KJ are the same.

In the rear, it's a different story. Both use basically the same rear shock, but the spring seats are different, the KJ has a 3 link where the KK runs a 5 link and the brake lines on the KK are :dizzy:

Also the rear springs on a KA-KK are larger in diameter than on a KJ.

Oh yeah, i forgot that one... Thanks Mark

all i can say is run man run i just tried to install this rustys kit. the kit in total is a diesaster in a box along with the wrong paper work the front spacers shock refies are to small and it crushes the rubber bushing the the shock binds somthing fierce the upper controll arm contacts the spring, back to the paper work the instructions dont mention any thing about splitting the ball joints or removing the fork. i am soo pissed about this fitmenti will be removing it tomoro and praying i can send it back what a joke. if you decide your going to give it a try good luck. i never even made it to the rear.
