Am i being too loose agressive with the raise in the first place? I know it's right to fold it when it comes back to me capped.

I'm playing KJo in EP exactly 0% of the time. I don't enjoy being dominated... not at the poker table at least.

For myself, I rarely play King Jackoff ( /images/graemlins/blush.gif ), and will never play it UTG.

Hi-
At my current poker comfort level, I am folding KJo in EP.
I feel limping is bad, so perhaps the open-raise is the best way to play it (if playing it UTG is correct).
Looking forward to more responses, because I would like to know good times to play KJo myself...

I fold KJo in EP everytime. In your case, I'd definitely fold once it came back capped to me.

I used to play Jack King off in a bad position all the time. I stopped doing it because it hurt too much.

Seriously, AJo is about the only hand that I'd raise pf with from UTG that I would ever consider laying down for two more. Not saying your first raise is bad, but I normally just fold here to start with.
