I was just curious as to what else I need to install this kit. I am having a local 4x4 shop do the install.
Also if 31x10.5x15 tires will fit with no modifications. I also have 1.25'' spacers on there
Thank you
Billy

as long as they have a spring compressor there's nothing else needed for the install..good choice on the lift :)

I would look forward to rubbing along the pinch weld and the rear of the front bumper perhaps...other then that you should be ready to go...

I would also picked up:
6 2" conduit lock nuts from the hardware store $0.99x3 for the clevis lift (nuts are optional) and
4 upper rear spring isolators from the Jeep dealership $12x4 for the rear isolator lift

Adding a clevis lift on the front and rear isolators on the back add more lift you will really appreciate later on.

Here is a complete write up on the entire installation: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... hp?t=15164

Enjoy your new Rustys lift. I sure have enjoyed mine :)

Nice freaking write up. I'm hopefully getting in on the group buy on the KJ Country forum.

I've heard that they don't make a 15" wheel that will fit the KJ.May ought to check around before you buy wheels,I'm not really sure.

Some poeple on this forum are running 15" rims on there KJ's.Alloy 15" won't work but steel 15"s will with the correct BS.

I am currently running a 15'' ECCO wheel from a TJ they fit fine with spacers.
The extra width gives it a very stout stance.
I still need a definate answer on 31'' tires.

The tires will rub. A little? A lot? I don't know, but they will rub.
