O.K. just sold my lifted JK and bought a KL TRAILHAWK,I have been toying with the idea of giving it a bit more off road mojo but to date everyone says it cannot be lifted, for those of you who have been into Jeeping for a few years might remember my KJ (NO1KJ) which had a 10 inch lift with coil overs and a lot of work from CHEZZY RACING. so almost 10 years on I find myself itching to do a KL lift ANY (POSITIVE) ADVICE WILL BE MOST WELCOME.
Traxda (https://www.facebook.com/Traxdakits) reckoned they had a concept that could work... last update was a couple of months ago and it's all gone silent, lots of people asking them on fb where it was up to. Worth staying tuned.
RRO are the guys who've put the most detail I've seen into why they're not pursuing it if you want the ugly on why folks say it can't be (cheaply) done.

I think its going to be a case of replacement arms / springs / drive shafts (maybe even the front and rear subframe members themselves! ) - and it WILL be only a matter of time before kits appear. Short of complete replacement parts like that tho it really doesn't look to be doable with springs and brackets etc. alone

was worth. "A couple hundred grand in parts," was his reply. '
