NICE!

Q: it appears to be the case but I'd like to confirm, approx how much clearance over stock did you get for the front diff from the lift vs. tires? (I forget what size tires do you have?)

Digger did you debadge the front? Just noticed that yours doesn't have Jeep and the '09 does.

did anyone else notice the 16" wheels have a different finish on them? The 09's are all silver instead of painted and silver like the 08's.

yeah i noticed too, I like the two tone better for sure.

Digger, your jeep looks great, what size tires did you end up with?

I wish you can post some Off road pics so we can see articulation.

next to the 09 with a little more than 2000 miles, i have a solid 3.5. so i'm figuring that i have 4 or or a little more next to a kk that has settled completely

but when yours will settle you will be back to 3.5" more

I still have .5 in spacer plates that i can install plus there is always the clevis lift idea :shock:

looks good compared to stock. Have you looked into wheel spacers? Or wider tires?

Makes the stock KK look like a Patriot :wink:

Digger,

Any update on ride quality?

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Wed Dec 24, 2008 1:25 pm

I looks like the front has settled a little less than .25. I have not measured. As far as the ride, it is still kick butt :twisted:

. The extra stiffness in the ride really helps out the stability of the KK

Boblemoche · **Posted:** Thu Dec 25, 2008 7:07 pm

already lost 1/4''

with all the armor I have already and the bumper/winch im planning to get soon Ill be lucky to get 2.5'' over stock with this lift

I hope they have plans for stiffer/longer springs
