ARB BUMPER FOT KJ
« on: November 19, 2007, 02:25:55 AM »

Hi all
i fitted a ARB bumper to my 2002 kj and it dropped over 1 inche
was looking at lift kit of 1.5 to bring back up to normal but dont want to change my shock
is there a better way of gaining that inche or better without changing my shocks  like spacers and if so do u have a link to place i can get them
cheers

Hiya, well if it has dropped due to the bumper and you want to bring it back to normal then you wont have to change the shocks or anything cos your not actually lifting it above std, changing the shocks only comes in when you are going above normal surley.

some simple 1.5" coil spring spacers on the front would do the job  :D not sure where you would get them for your model though but im sure someone will (you'll have to do a bit of a web search) i got mine (3") for the XJ off US ebay - were only about £30 with postage  :D

Check some of the US suppliers, 4WD and Quadratec (and others), they'll probably be able to supply you Daystar or other spacers.

:evil:

I've had good luck avoiding import charges with UPS and USPS but normally get charged VAT as a minimum.

Definitely still worth doing it though, order by phone for the best and quickest service.
