At some point in the near future we should have one released.

I'm ordering an '09 Liberty KK and would like to know if you plan to release lift kits for the KK?

Thank you,

Uh, It's kind of tough to make a lift from readily-available aftermarket parts if there are no readily-available aftermarket parts.........

true, how ever the KK is so close to the KJ, It should not take this long to get it out

Guest · **Posted:** Wed Jan 21, 2009 3:59 am

Who's currently producing the rear springs, swaybar endlinks, and upper shock plates for the KK? or front springs, that will give you 2" of lift with nothing BUT the spring?

Oh...JBA is having them made by...Eibach, correct?
Who's currently making aftermarket shocks for the KK? Rancho doing it yet?

How long did the KJ owners wait for a halfway decent lift?

Heck...it was over a decade before there was a GOOD lift for the XJ

Just sayin'...this is kind of what you get when you buy a new-to-the-market Jeep that has a fixed roof...

unclejjg · **Posted:** Wed Jan 21, 2009 12:45 pm

What is the benefit of the Frankenlift vs. what JBA is offering? What parts are missing?

Guys keep in mind one thing.......... there is one thing that will help KK's get lift options: NUMBERS

A lot of the reason you see not much for the KK, and a lot of KJ parts dissapearing(or not being made at all) is low sales numbers. Come on guys give the manufacturers a break. They are not going to build products based off of 2 guys a month calling for something. We are working on the KK lifts as we speak. BUT, local KK's are few and far between. Until All J has some testing time and a few KK's in the shop to play with, the final Frankie for the KK will be delayed. I would have loved to have this out 6 months ago, but with our local KK being MIA the last few months, we are waiting for another KK to get here ***hint hint*** any So Cal KK's around? Call me!

Guys I hate to be the one to break the bad news, but until this current ecomomy picks up, and more thant 2 or 3 KK owners a month start calling, we are in a holding pattern. We had planned on skids for the KK and Boulder Bars too, but we couldn't get more than 5 KJ owners to bring back the Super Skids. My guess is that isn't a market for skids and bars either for the KK. You guy want to prove me wrong? Let's here from some buyers and All J will get you stuff. If it stays quiet like it has been, then slow it will be........We've been with the KJ's since 2002 when Clint first approched us. He made a good case for KJ's and we built stuff and brought you some of the best KJ products in the world. But I've also seen the swing over the years and heard all the complaining about the parts availibilty. If there are buyers for products, manufactures will build. If there are no buyers, manufactures will move on. It's simple business. BTW, it looks like the KJ interior rack will be going by way of the Super Skids soon too, and the Kilby gas tank skid, Hidden Hich front reciever, gone due to low sales numbers. All very good products BTW. Other products gone due to low interest: All J front KJ bumpers and SFA kits too.

That said, All J Products will continue providing the best service and products for KJ owners, as we have since 2002, and when it makes sense the KK too. We are trying to help guys, we really are. If you are unhappy with any thing here, or want to discuss things with me direct e-mail me at quinn@boulderbars.com and if you have a KK in So Cal, let me know.

Ok every one, I didn't want it to sound like I was b*tch*ng to much, and yes I know the whole new car thing and the slowness of getting production started

Now on to macgyver, I total under stand your point. Right now, rails are only starting to enter the minds of KK owners, and as far as skids go, :roll:

.....BUT I would kill to get a transmission skid for my manual. Also, I would really like to have a rear interior rack. I think most of the problem right now is a base price for items..It kind of like ARB telling us that we are looking 1250+ to even get a bumper started, which in my mind is nuts since that is the same cost as a front bumper for my dads dodge ram 2500... I will be shooting you an email tonight...

I would guess that our Interior racks are close to already fitting. I really need a local KK so I can answer these questions for you guys. Please any local KK's ???????? Please!

I have factory skids, but it didn't come with a tranny skid... IDK about the skid for the auto... I would think that the rear cross member would be mounted in a different location

Boblemoche · **Posted:** Thu Jan 22, 2009 8:39 pm

so no mopar tranny skids for the kk

(at least the manual)
