I haven’t seen a thread yet showing this, but there is a new contender for a 2” lift. I’m curious how this one will perform in terms of longevity. The pricing does seem to be competitive as well. The installation video is below. There is a link to the product in the video description.

Interesting it's not on the website . Got a link ?

KL Cherokee: 2" Performance Spacer Lift Kit

I like the rear shock brackets a lot!!! I wonder if they would sell those separately??? The rear spacers appear to be composite though, but I could be wrong. I'll have to research this a little bit more...😎

Me too! That’s what caught my eyes, as well as the front spacer. I much prefer the 2” being one spacer rather than stacking two.

I contacted them today and here is the response I received from tech support


1: The rear spacers are made from a composite glass filled nylon material.
2: We found that on the newer Trailhawks that the newer model years actually limited the down travel on the A arms with them making contact the bottom of the engine cradle/subframe, making it nearly impossible to get the front strut spacers into place. Our kit does in fact fit the new Trailhawks, but the installation is tricky and the performance with the limited front down travel issue, so it wasn't ideal enough to recommend it.
3: We found the rear wheel centering wasn't enough to interfere with proper suspension geometry in our testing, so we left it as is to retain as many OEM parts as possible.

Though I currently run Dobinson plus lift on my 2017, this seems like a decent set up and the price is so attractive vs the alternatives.

Now we just need a Guinea Pig to do an install

I would like to do it, but to be on the safe side I’ll wait until my warranty expires.

Ya, but I don't like the composite rears. I'll keep my aluminum ones...😎

I don’t really have an issue with the composite rears, but I would like to ask them if it went through any form of durability testing. Considering I won’t be doing anything crazy.

Ford and GM have used composite material suspension components for quite some time now. I’m not sure about any other automakers, I don’t really keep tabs on them.

considering the kit is designed exactly the same way all the other kits for the KL are, I can’t imagine it would have any issues not already discussed in regards to the other kits. I mean, it’s spacers in the rear springs, and spacer collars on the front strut between the knuckle and the welded stop tab.

One notable difference between this kit and others would be the rear shock brackets.
