Product Description

The Skyjacker J21BKH Sport Lift Kit delivers a 2.5" front lift and 1.5-2" rear lift tailored for Jeep CJ5, CJ7 and Scrambler 4WD models from 1976 through 1986. Designed as a complete bolt-on Sport series setup, it includes matched front and rear progressive leaf springs, Hydro 7000 monotube gas shocks at all four corners, and all required bushings, sleeves and U-bolts. It installs cleanly using factory mounting points with no drilling required .

This kit retains comfortable ride quality while providing room for 31 x 12.5" tires on 15x8" wheels with 3.75" back spacing. The Hydro 7000 shocks enhance dampening on road and trail, while the leaf springs maintain proper load capacity and articulation. Skyjacker backs the kit with a limited lifetime structural warranty (shocks and powder coat excluded) and includes a driver safety literature kit.

Some users on Jeep forums report mixed experiences with ride comfort and durability over time using Skyjacker lifts; proper installation and alignment corrections (such as track bar or brake line relocation) are strongly recommended to prevent premature wear. Overall, J21BKH offers an accessible lift upgrade for budget-oriented Jeep builders seeking reliable clearance without modifying chassis components.
