Newbie question about lift kits
Even with a lift, there is a high chance of rubbing. Mine is an RC 3 inch lift with a wheel offset of -16mm and a height of 21.5 inches, but it rubs around the fog lights. It is a 31 inch tire. This is an early bumper type. The outer diameters of 265/60r18 and 31 inch tires are almost the...- ikuo78

Procomp for KK ?
I found this on a Japanese auction site. It looks like Procomp's member down kit for KK. Does it look like the front could be used for KJ? Since it is not included in the catalog, there is no installation information. Since it is 4 inches, it seems that there will be some inconvenience in the rear.- ikuo78

Front strut length
Thank you. It's very useful here. Not having a ladder frame also makes things difficult. Currently, I am satisfied with the spacer lift that came with the vehicle when I purchased it, but I think the shock absorber has reached the end of its lifespan, so I am considering rebuilding it. My...- ikuo78

Front strut length
By increasing the shock length and using a spring with the same spring rate as the stock but with a free length 1 to 1.5 inches longer than the stock, you can increase the travel in the extension direction and get 2 to 3 inches of lift and stock ride quality. However, the travel in the...- ikuo78

Front strut length
This is a very interesting post. In other words, the OME spring increases preload to provide lift. In order to achieve high preload with a free length close to stock, It feels like they have increased the spring rate. Increasing the spring rate reduces the amount of compression when subjected to...- ikuo78

Regarding Lift Spacers on New OEM Suspension
My KJ also had a 3-inch RC lift kit installed when I bought the vehicle used. At the front, there is a spacer between the clevis and the shock assembly. The 31-inch tires at the time of purchase were so worn that I didn't want to use them as they were, so Adding up the distance I ran, It looks...- ikuo78

Ball jointed sway bar links
In situations where you only want one leg to move, such as when passing through a pothole at high speed or going over a step on the sidewalk on the side of the road, I get the impression that one leg is moving well. There has certainly been a slight increase in feedback regarding the wheel...- ikuo78

Bracket for snowboards
Because it is difficult to place luggage on a high roof, I have snow gear stored in the trunk, It gets in the way of other luggage. So I made a bracket to place my child's snow gear high up behind the back seat. This is possible for snowboards up to 1400mm. The bracket is attached to the flat...- ikuo78

Ball jointed sway bar links
To be freed from the restraints of the four rubber bushes, I made the sway bar link into a ball joint, and I extended the link to make the connection point of the sway bar rotation fulcrum and the sway bar link closer to horizontal. I got an excellent ride.- ikuo78
