Here is the lift kit used in the video. www.ironrockoffroad.com/product/kj-25-premium-series-lift-kit.html

@spikelinux Год назад

Excellent video, I just bought the Moog but I will definitely buy this one, my KJ has the same lift but with spacers and blistein B8 shocks, but this boomerang definitely looks better, I'll tell you later, greetings from Mexico!

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports Год назад

Thanks for watching. The upper and lower control arms in the rear along with the flex joints are worth the price of the lift alone. Thanks CMAC

@robertjanowski710 Год назад

I hope you waited till the full weight of the kj was on the ground before you tightened the suspension bolts. Mainly for the rubber bushing preload. The flex joints should be fine. If you would have loosed the lower control arms. The assembly would have gone in much easier. You have to get a front alignment anyway.

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports Год назад

All good advice. Thanks for sharing. I ordered some JBA upper control arms so more to come along with an alignment. Thanks for watching👊

Svaka čast majstore posebno pozdrav za malog pomoćnika koje su dimenzije guma

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 2 месяца назад

We are currently rolling with DC 32" tires and Jeep TJ Moab wheels. Thanks for watching

@TomaszbtdZiobrowski Год назад

6:47 and to add to Robert's remarks: of course you can remove and put in assembled coilovers - just pull cv axle.

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports Год назад

Good info. There is more than one way to cook a egg. I was trying to follow the IRO instructions. But we all know how that works. 😆 Thanks for watching.

@TomaszbtdZiobrowski Год назад

@@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports yeah, sure. but I would go with bilstein shocks and ome or dobinsons springs in front, not spacers.

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports Год назад

@@TomaszbtdZiobrowski for sure! I wanted to do a SAS but now I might be interested in this IFS as I just purchased some JBA uppers. Thanks again for the advice.

Do you think if you loosened the front cradle bolts and let it drop down about an inch that you would have had an easier time getting the front end back together with the taller strut assembly?

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 6 месяцев назад

Not a bad idea but I wonder if the cradle would walk away from you while trying to installing the strut. Thanks for watching 👊

@the_adhd_dad 4 месяца назад

Bad ass kj. What size rims and tires?

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 4 месяца назад

Thanks 👊 The tires are 305/16 on TJ Moab wheels!

@robertjanowski710 Год назад

The kk clevis will give you 3/4 inch of lift when swapped with the KJ clevis. The KK clevis is longer because the spring rate is lower on the kk springs. So when you swapped in the kk assembly. You did nothing to add lift with that set up.

@TomaszbtdZiobrowski Год назад

exactly. kk clevis forks give bonus lift with kj coilovers. I use both, kk clevis forks and 1" ring for normal clevis lift in my crd libby. Driver side was hard to assembly but doing that second time you can do it alone :)

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports Год назад

Awesome. Good info thanks for sharing

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports Год назад

Good Stuff. Thanks for the info

@focus1ism 6 месяцев назад

Question, I have the iron rock upper & lower adjustable arms also. Did you have any issues with pinion angle on the rear differential?

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 6 месяцев назад

I did not. I matched the angles with an angle finder. Match the output on the rear of the transfer case to the angle of the pinion on the rear differential. Good luck 🍀dialing yours in. Thanks for watching 👊

@robertjanowski710 Год назад

Their coil over shocks. Even says so in the Jeep factory manual.

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports Год назад

I hear you! Like everything else so many different terms for the same part. I call parts yard called it a shock assembly, IRO called it a strut and Jeep calls it a Coilover shock. Thanks for watching

@trampusconway5502 Год назад

I'm on my 3rd set of struts. Brand new and go to store and they bottom out just going over a speed bump. Anyone else have this problem with their liberty

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports Год назад

Did you try Bilstein shocks, I know like the KJ guys like them with old man emu springs. Good luck with resolving the strut issue!

@TomaszbtdZiobrowski Год назад

and how much lift did you get? measuring from centre of the wheel to the edge of fender?

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports Год назад

I wish I could for you but the KJ is now front fenderless 🫢 Thanks for watching!

@khaledsalaheldin1046 10 месяцев назад

Whats the measurment done for the upper and lower control arms ?

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 10 месяцев назад

Adjusted the length for the correct pinion angle along with adjusted the length so the wheels and tires sits back in the center of the wheel opening with new spacing lift. Thanks for watching!

@shangananikaizer7214 6 месяцев назад

So u have to use kk rear shocks and it's coil springs

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 6 месяцев назад

We used the front struts from a 2009 Jeep Liberty KK. Thanks for watching 👊

@jrbutler7174 8 месяцев назад

After your lift what size tires did you run

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 8 месяцев назад

I run TJ Wrangler Moab wheels on 305/70/16 which are a little larger than recommended so I had to trim the front bumper and the inner fender pinch welds. Good luck 🍀 with your project 👊

@tompowers4561 2 месяца назад

Ok so did it need aligned

@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports 2 месяца назад

Oh yes for sure 👍 but I installed JBA upper controls before I got the alignment done. Thanks for watching 👊
