lift kits for jk etc
« on: September 23, 2010, 09:48:01 PM »
Hello to all, another newbie here. Have got myself a great JK wrangler unlimited which I bought to have a play with, so.......
Has anyone any experience with lift kits for the JK? I only want about 2.5" and am swayed towards the Old man emu kit but wouldn't mind a bit of uk based advice.
Ultimately I want to do a 6.1 hemi swap but this seems a bit tricky not least of all because of starting with a diesel. Anyone thought about it over here....let alon done it??

cheers to all who can point me in good directions

Given that we have a profile field showing member's vehicle, wouldn't it be great if we could search it?
Muttley? Anybody?

My JK is lifted but it was done by the previous owner. Chris at http://www.surreyoff-road.com/ does lifts on these regularly. Give him a shout. Even if you're not local I'm sure he'll gladly give you some advice.

No problem. Chris is a nice guy and knows his stuff. All the best with the lift. Are you going for bigger tyres, too?
