Mopar KK Lift Kit

[Darwin Rick]

Just realised that when I said it leaned to the left, I was looking at it from the rear - so it's lower on the passenger side than the driver side - ~18 mm lower at the right rear and ~10 mm lower at the right front. It's barely noticeable at the front (and maybe within what would be considered normal), but quite noticeable at the rear (see attached photo). Having said that, I used to have a 97 Landrover Discovery TDi that also leaned to the passenger side, without any mods, so maybe this is just normal for some vehicles?

Am keen to know whether I should be talking to Jeep and the mechanic who installed it about this and the less than 2" of lift, or whether it's to be expected and I should forget about it.

I had a CRD STU 2" lift done late last year and I'm very happy. If I had to do it again I would look no further than Stu.

Well, OK, in hindsight, this might have been a good idea.

Anyway, I had my mechanic check out the car's lean today. Turned out one of the rear springs supplied in the Mopar lift kit is about 12 mm longer than the other. I've flagged this and sent some photos to the Jeep dealer. Will be interesting to hear what they say. Maybe this also has something to do with my <2" of lift.

Seems like the others with the Mopar lift kit have gone to ground. I'm still keen to hear other's experiences and thoughts.

Friends just brought a new kk with the 2" Mopar lift , I believe they need bugger tyres , 1st trip out and they bent the front cross member and chewed out a swing arm bush .... We spent most of the day backing out of places because the wagon was way too low ... What size tyres do you blokes recommend to fit so they can follow us in our JKunlimited , with out killing fuel economy and power , it's an auto v6 .... Thanks

just get a wrangler - or lift it another 2 ins and get 31 in tyres

Mate I have a wrangler !!!! They can't follow in their jeep Cherokee , that's the problem .... The question being what tyre size should they fit ?

[Tasar]

and my recommendation is for them to get a wrangler - or raise the kk a little more 4 in lift and get 31 in tyres will fit not sure what the metric size is I think they measure about 30.5 in 245/70/16

you'll never get the kk going where the wrangler will
