Front suspension: XK vs KK

[Alireza Daneshgar]

Can we swap the arms and axle shaft of a KK with the ones from XK?

I’m new to the forum and Jeep world, but not new to off-roading and mods. My neighbor has a Liberty KK with complete JBA lift kit. But his rear end stands way taller than the front. Problem is on his front end, there is only 1.25” droop left. So, we don’t want to dial more preload to the struts.
I was wondering if LCA/UCA of a Commander XK uses the same dimensions of pivoting points (same size of bushing, same distance of the two eyes). If so, we might be able to swap the front suspension with the ones from XK and possibly get a longer arm for more travel and higher lift.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

No

Is there any other option as a long arm replacement for the factory width?

No, none, nothing

Where is he lift wise, measure from middle of the wheel ( hub )in front to bottom of the flare




oh wait just typed that out and see he tore them off , never mind

No, none, nothing

Thanks for the reply.

How about the CV axles. Assuming we make a set of longer arms, is there any other CV axle that is designed for same differential and same wheel hub, only with longer shafts?

No would all have to be custom made
