Holy cow these JBA arms throw the alignment way off compared to stock! Same amount of lift too. Got some wicked positive camber now.

Looks like an alignment on Monday.

Yep

It just means you have to lift it higher :twisted:

I'd like to go another inch front and rear, but I don't want the expense of longer brake lines or having to worry about the CV angle. So I think it's just fine.

Went over to the body shop today to take a look, ps line with a kink in it so that has to be replaced too, we are now up over $10000, but not sure what the exact ammount is at this point. The parts list is 2 pages long that much I know.

Cv angles are not a problem.... neither are the front brake lines... Only the rear ones

I ordered my OEM Skid Plates and front tow hooks, installed the slush mats, and set up an time to get my front windows tinted.

All the parts came in

. So skiescape2 and I installed 3 of the 4 skids and decided to tackle the tow hook and Fuel tank skid another day.

The tow hook was only the passengers side. And I am not going to pay $200 to get the "Factory replacement hook" for the drivers side. Does anyone know where I can get the drivers side hook and mounting hardware?

I am surprised they are charging $200 for just the replacement tow hook.
Here is what I know right now, I am asking around to see what else I can find out.

The left tow hook part number is 52059237AB.
Probably best if you also get part 52059352AB which is the stud plate.
The rest is just bolts, washers, and nuts that you can get anywhere. I believe the stud plate has M14 so you can get the M14 nuts to match.

Not cheap, but a little cheaper is to just order online through
http://moparpartsonline.com ( a little over $100 there ).

Anyone know any cheaper way to get this now instead of waiting for someone to put up for sale on ebay, craig's list, or checking junk yards?

For Jonny5 and Wolverine, I ordered front tow hooks for 2002-2007 Liberty's (same part #'s you mentioned from a web site, www.jparts.com, the parts came from Savage Dodge in PA with both hooks, complete with mounting hardware the whole shebang was $99.09 including shipping. When I ordered them in June, here in Colorado dealerships were saying they were on back order but I guess not in PA. The part # for the kit was L82206124, and it took 3 or 4 days to hit my porch, have a good one.

I have my factory rear tow hook that I'd sell if anybody is interested. I had to remove it when I installed my hitch.

Now that is certainly good to know. I've seen previous traffic on here about KJ front tow hooks working on a KK, but I didn't see anyone confirm that was the case, or even give part numbers for that matter.

Great post! I'll definitely keep that in mind when I go to get some tow hooks... which I hope to do before winter. Never know when you might need to pull someone out of a ditch.

Yes that is very good to know! I am going to take back the 1 tow hook i got and get the set of 2. Saves me some money in the long run.

Cv angles are not a problem.... neither are the front brake lines... Only the rear ones

If running stock extended length rear shocks, would I ever have to worry about over-extended rear brake lines?

I don't know. The only way to tell is to try. Then extend the rear with a jack and test it out

No,just have to worry about replacing rear shocks every 5000miles.

Grabbed some tools and spare fluids and threw them into my KK before leaving in the morning to head toward LOST's Jeep Safari in Ouray, Colorado.

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Thu Jul 09, 2009 11:00 pm

Just drove it....

Good luck MntLuvr
