I am still trying to find a day to get down to Marty's to get the new struts installed. I will not risk driving off-road with the current situation.

That's a bummer mate, hope you find the time soon.

Did you put in new cut CVs? Was that a part of your kit?

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2008 10:42 am

Cut down CVs are not part of the 4 inch kit, but they are only 950. 00 more if you want them Mitch :wink:

And I would say to make it work and more importantly last you would want to do them as well.

I do have a proposal to present here, I think each state should have one KJ with Jeepin By Al lift, so I will step up and do it. NOW what I need from only 9 of you in Ohio is 1/2 of of your stimulus check. Again I only need 9 of you to contribute as I will use mine as well

Others in other states can follow this lead so every state can have one!

What a great deal for everyone! :wink:

yes i did get the cut cv's from marlin. he has his version of the J.E.REEL's. they are only 630.00 as opposed to the 950.00.

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Apr 30, 2008 12:08 pm

wow thats a great savings right there, from 950 to 630, are those ones that he is doing himself I wonder in house? Have to ask next time I email him about my arms :twisted:

so how is the ride overall now, will take a while to get used to it but wondering :roll:

Thanks for the updates !

Tom

Ground to unibody: 18 1/2"

thanks again tom. ill fight for the 4" case in your state! :lol:

sent you some info hope it helps! What did you do drive up to every Jeep in the parking lot !! :lol:

I am liking the looks of the boots on the CVs for sure look better than the stock ones, may have to look at them closer!

Angles do not look bad at all on the CVs or the tie rod ends

Also has a nice level look to it, hate it when they are sitting down in the front

tire size... how much more could you go now in tire heighth do you think?

not sure on the tire hight. i get scared reading everyones post on that issue. i think ill wait for someone else to go there then let them get critisized for awhile. then maybe follow suit. they sears mech's all drive jeep's. there are 4 lifted in that parking lane. when i brought kj in they all looked over like WTF! i smiled inside from ear to ear. i did have too drive around the mall looking for a stocker facing out so i could get a nose to nose. i wanted to find a 03 so it would be a cleaner difference. but i took what i could get.

That's a cool shot

Looks like 33's on the Wrangler.

Can you grab a measurement from the ground to the bottom of the front and rear diffs?

its going to be about the same as yours in the rear, lift will not change that one bit, only tires will add heighth under the rear pumpkin

Just measure from the center of the wheel cap to the bottom of the flare. Tire size doesn't matter

KJ04 · **Posted:** Thu May 01, 2008 6:49 am

So, what was the final cost on the lift kit, and axles with shipping charges :?:

Unless you're interested in comparing the overall ride height. I like to know these things.

DryBones · **Posted:** Thu May 01, 2008 10:37 am
