I think I was like 731. Did anyone invite them to visit L.O.S.T.?

I only voted once way back in the 100's, I really want to get a total of 4".

I have $3000 sitting and waiting!! Unless I can find a 3rd vehicle in the price range I want.

They are aware of us here. :wink:

I placed my one vote, 755 total votes now. I'm disappointed in you JJsKJ :twisted:

If they're going to build the JK lifts anyways, then you essentially threw out your vote.... :lol:

I'd hope that if they came out with this lift, it would be more along the lines of a long arm SFA kit. We just installed a Rubicon Express 4.5" Extreme Duty Long Arm kit on our TJ and a KJ setup would be extremely similar. Just change the arm lengths and build a new transmission skid. The only thing that would make it functionally different from a TJ kit would be the required steering modifications.

Like I said, it appears that some have voted so many extra times for the KJ that I felt it wasn't neccesary. The way i see it is they either Are going to look at the KJ or not. I would bet that there would be quite a bit of sticker shock amongst the KJ crowd if they did a KJ lift the way I think they would. It isn't going to be like what you see now. I would expect it to be very inclusive and addressing a lot of issues we have already talked about. I can't see them keeping much from the current front setup and coil overs would probably be in the mix along w/ new upper and lower control arms, better cv's, fabricated diff, (possibly optional) new spindle, etc. Just my expectations and I hope they don't let us down if they tackle it.

I would like to see a 4"-5" lift with new upper and lower control arms and stronger cv's.The rear could stand to be 4-link.I wouldn't run bigger tires than I'm running now just want more articulation,keep them tires on the ground and that front diff should hold up better with 31"-33" tires.My 2 cents though.I'm thankful enough that they even considered the KJ.

I just want to be able to get 33's on so I am guessing a 3.5-4" IFS lift.

I would easily pay 2 - 2 1/2 G's once I get my KJ paid off or at least down to about $5K left on it. Of course, I have no incentive to pay mine off early with 0% financing. Let's me focus on other bills.

Last time there was this much euphoria around here was when Superlift was promising their new lift. Hellfire, come in Hellfire.....

LostRenegade · **Posted:** Tue Jan 09, 2007 9:51 pm

I just voted and the KJ is up to 762. The next highest was the XJ at 113.

allyrand · **Posted:** Tue Jan 09, 2007 10:10 pm

it would be interesting to see exactly who the 762 votes are, I would hope the people that voted more than once will be the first ones in line with their money to buy a lift from Nth Degree if they decide to go forward with it, I know if I was a vendor and got excited that there was over 700 people that wanted a product, and then spent money on R & D and tooling and testing, just to find out only a handful really wanted it in the first place, how do you think that makes us look?, thanks to the guys who voted that are really serious about this. And Nth Degree does know about this forum and can visit it any time they want, they will see whats up when they read this thread. And just a little info...All J is the largest Nth dealer in the US, they sell and install more TJ Lifts than anyone else..they were Recognized for this at Nths customer appreciation run, so Quinn and Heather have alot of pull with them, also for those who don't know....My KJ is almost all Nth parts for the lift, and they were all over it at the same run...Quinn talked to these guys alot about this forum, so don't think this is just pie in the sky, its a first to even see a KJ listed on their website for a future product..they have been strictly TJ and CJ since day one..I hope when they read all of this it doesn't turn into a negative thing...thanks...Wally

Even though I no longer have a KJ, I still voted once because I would certainly be interested had it not been for the unfortunate accident that totaled it. As for whether they are actually going to build a lift for the KJ, I think this is probably more to just put out feelers to the Jeep community to see whats going on. Even if the KJ wins the poll by a landslide, they might still invest more in the XJ as a runner up because they already know it will be much simpler (and less expensive to r&d, test etc.) than ANY IFS lift. So don't get your hopes up too high in case they never build anything for the KJ. It would be nice, but we don't want another Superlift, do we? :wink:

Seeing as there is how many thousands of KJ on the road and really no one has over come the 2.5 - 3 inch lift maximum except for the extreme moders I think this is money in the bank for any company that puts the time into it to make a real quality lift.

Hope the lift is some outrageous price like a lot of their other stuff...

805 after me, woo-hoo!!!

Troysterr · **Posted:** Wed Jan 10, 2007 1:46 am

Well, I just voted once...brought the total to 804, with the XJ next at 114.

I'm very interested in a bolt-on kit that would provide 4-4.5" of lift and some viable solution to the grenading front diff problem. (I don't know if anything is even possible, aside from the unproven but hopeful collar, but maybe someone much smarter than me can come up with something.)

Whatever happened to "Mutt"? He was supposed to be trying to blow his front differential with the collar he added.

Last I remember he had a laundry list of broke from Crozet.

Nth Degree emailed me today:

To funny I was looking at that about 20min ago. When we see numbers like
that we usually figure that is what happened. Don’t worry about it, but we
will take the huge # in to consideration.

They know the numbers are inflated but they also know there is true interest in another lift option for the KJ.
