Shocks, no struts on a KJ or KK
Anything with struts does not have upper control arms

Now, better, is OME, do you want any lift or about the same as stock ?
Let me know and I can give you what numbers to use

On the front of kk and kj are considered struts. Especially since springs are connected to shocks and have bearings on top

Like Tom said, not a "strut". Really just a coil-over shock. Bearings on top? Not sure what you mean.

You would think after working on KJs and KKs since 2003, and lifted over 60 of them so far , I would know what parts are called, but guess not LOL
