So it's been over five weeks without my KJ (stupid deployment :lol:) and I can't help but start planning the additional modifications for her when I get back. While I'm happy with the lift I have, I'm looking to squeeze a little more height out of her. I currently have OME H/D Coils (Front & Rear), Rancho Shocks/Struts (Front & Rear), and DayStar & TerraFlex Extended Bump Stops (Front & Back). What additional parts can I install to increase the lift? Thanks for the help in advance!

You can add a clevis lift in the front and a couple of ISO pads in the rear.

Cradle drop doesn't add lift.

But It will give you more clearance for bigger tires thus= more lift. and happier CV angles

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely have to explore these ideas when I get back to get some bigger tires. :D

But the biggest tire the front diff can handle can already fit without a cradle drop.

Our UCA's are not attached to the cradle so the entire suspension assembly does not drop as it does on most other rigs. The cradle drop has minimal effect other than chagning the angles between the upper and lower control arms (not to mention making your balljoints unhappy). Not a productive mod unless you extend the knuckles and keep the factory geometry.
