Video Review & Installation
Ryan: This Rubicon Limited two.5 inch Super-Ride Suspension Lift kit with daze extensions is for those of you that have the iv-door 2018 and upwards JL that are trying to run a set up of 35-inch tires on your Jeep and demand the interruption clearance to practise so. Of course yous could run a set of 33s with 2.5 inches of lift but, on a JL, it's a pretty big lift for 33s. And you could probably go up to a gear up of 37s simply you're not going to take a ton of suspension travel and articulation power unless, of class, you're installing this lift kit on a Rubicon that has those slightly college fenders. This is going to be a pretty piece of cake two out of iii wrenches, although there's a tiny footling scrap of drilling to do. Tony'due south gonna prove you exactly how to go this installed in simply a second.So again, you're going to exist wanting to install a lift kit on your Jeep if you wanna run some larger tires, those larger tires and taller suspension are going to give yous a different look to your Jeep but perhaps more importantly are going to give y'all a lot more function, especially when y'all're off-road. You lot're gonna have a lot more clearance and those bigger tires are going to make it a lot easier to curlicue over obstacles when you're in an off-route scenario. This elevator kit is 1 of the first ones to come out for the JL, there are however a ton of options out there, but this is going to be a pretty good one. This is going to include a coil spring elevator kit, so you're going to get all new curlicue springs, all iv of them. You're going to become all the accessories that you lot need to lift your Jeep and accept the suspension geometry stay intact, things like new longer sway bar end links, you're also going to get new longer front-lower control arms. Yous're going to get shock extensions in this lift kit, and what that allows y'all to do is keep those factory shocks, helping to go along the cost down, and helping to proceed that factory ride, but allows you to basically extend those shocks so that they'll piece of work with your new 2.5-inch taller lift. And so some actually high-quality components with this elevator kit and really all the components that you need to throw a set of 35s on your Jeep, curl downwards the road, or take information technology off-road.So one of the things that I really do like about this kit, again, are these lower control artillery, and that'southward something that nosotros're seeing with a lot of JL lift kits, even at a fairly small-scale elevation, 2.5 inches, which, in the by, hasn't been a ton of lift. A lot of companies are still including some sort of geometry correction even with that size lift kit. And in this case, it'south a gear up of fixed lower-front command artillery. Then when you lot lift the Jeep, you're actually rolling the axle a lilliputian bit, and that can modify things like your pinion angle and your caster angle. A bad pinion angle tin mean vibrations or premature driveline wear, and a bad pulley angle can give your Jeep a petty chip of a flighty feel on the highway considering the steering wheel isn't going to wanna self-center. And then past calculation new longer lower command arms, you are helping to set up that pinion, fix that caster angle, and get them a lilliputian flake closer back to manufacturing plant and keep the Jeep riding and performing how yous would look information technology to.And then again, a lot of actually overnice components here and they all come in at a price right effectually that $650 mark. I do call up that'south a pretty good deal for a lift kit that includes the lower command arms. If it didn't take the control arms, I'd say you're paying likewise much, just because this does take those to help correct the geometry, I call up this is a pretty fairly-priced lift kit for the JL. I mentioned before, this is a two out of three wrenches with just a little scrap of drilling to do. Allow's accept Tony show you how to get this installed.Tony: Tools used for this installation are equally follows. You're gonna need yourself a good gear up of sockets, ranging from anywhere from 10-millimeter all the way upwardly to 24. A good set of wrenches, ranging also from 10-millimeter all the mode upward to 24. Couple pry bars, an 8-millimeter Allen primal, good few ratchets, some extensions, a drill, and a 1/ii-inch drill bit, a hammer, a good impact gun, and a ratchet strap, and a pair of pliers.All correct. Now, let's begin with the installation of our lift kit on the rear of our Jeep JL Wrangler. And to begin, we're gonna have to get our onetime stuff out of the way. At present nosotros're gonna get out our shocks in place, we're just gonna disconnect the lower bolts and let them hang considering we're gonna reuse those, so at that place's no reason to take them completely out of our vehicle. Afterward that, we have to disconnect our parking brake cables from the back of the rear, we're gonna get our sway bar end links off and out of the manner because we exercise have new ones that come up in the kit. Lower the rear downward, and pop our springs out, get our new ones into identify, and reassemble everything. And so follow along, we'll show you how this gets done.All right. Now, with the use of an 18-millimeter socket and wrench, we're gonna go ahead and remove the lower bolts on our shocks. At present with the same eighteen-millimeter socket and wrench, we're gonna become ahead and get our lower finish link bolt out of the manner. Now, with our aforementioned 18-millimeter socket, nosotros're gonna get ahead and get our upper cease link bolts off. Now they're actually a nut, sometimes y'all tin luck out using an impact tool to spin them right off, sometimes you gotta employ the Allen key in the eye of the stud, and then hold the nut in place using your eighteen-millimeter wrench. Nosotros're gonna see if we tin get it off with but our impact gun now.Now, with a 10-millimeter socket, we're gonna go ahead and disconnect our restriction line brackets off the side of our frame. This would requite u.s.a. a fiddling extra slack in our rear so when we driblet it down to get the springs out, nosotros're not putting too much pressure on our ABS line or our brake line. And but go ahead and slide the bolt back in there just so you lot don't lose it. Just do that on both sides. Now with a 21-millimeter socket, we're gonna go alee and get the bolt out that secures our track bar to our rear differential. That manner, nosotros take that footling fleck of actress room when we lower the rear down and we're not fighting the track bar.All right. Now, the last thing we have to disconnect before pulling our springs out are our parking brake cables. Now we just have to take these off, merely to give that little bit of extra room one time we lower it down to get the new springs in. These are relatively simple. With your eastward-brake off inside your vehicle, go ahead and give it a pull. I like to use a pair of pliers hither on the little eyelet side that goes backside our dust embrace and slowly pull out, have the pressure off the cable, and then you can pull the hook out of that, just equally so. With that hook out, it's gonna make getting this clip off a lot easier. At present all you gotta exercise is push in through 3 tabs, and they slide right out. Just repeat that on both cables.Now, if you'll observe, I have a set of pole jacks under my rear differential. Now if you're doing this at home without the use of a two-mail or iv-post lift, yous're probably on the ground with a couple of jack stands and a flooring jack, and then this is where we're going to lower our rear down and pop our springs out, and so begin to install our new springs and elevator kit parts.Now, when removing your springs, you wanna make sure that both of your prophylactic isolators are in identify. Our upper one will probably exist sitting on top of the bound, your lower one volition probably sit on tiptop of the axle yet. Okay, now with our rear completely disassembled, we can move on to assembly of our new lift kit. Simply outset, we gotta brand a few modifications and they're relatively simple, we just have to open up the pigsty in the sway bar to accommodate the new bolt that comes in the kit. Now, information technology's not much, it's but enough to get that commodities in there. You're moving upwardly to a 1/2-inch drill bit to drill that out and, essentially, you're just knocking the pulverization glaze out of the inside of the hole. Now, only repeat that on the other side.All right, now we're gear up to begin by putting our springs in first. I matter you wanna sentry out for is that you grab the correct side spring, these are marked left and right, so you have LR for left rear, RR will stand for right rear, and so on, and so on. Now, make sure that you put your isolator on top of your spring earlier you get it inside the rear of your Jeep.At present that our springs are installed, nosotros're gonna become alee and get our shock extensions in so we can become our factory shocks hooked back up and we don't accept to have our rear sitting on our jack anymore. Just take your shock extension and the short bolt that comes in the kit, that goes up through the bottom. Don't forget to utilize your washers and the lock nut. Next, we're gonna get in our vanquish spacer, this is so we don't suck the bracket in too far and our new through bolt. Now, to tighten this all down, we're gonna use ii 19 millimeters. Now, your bolt that goes through you're not gonna wanna tighten upwardly completely until we get our daze into place. That fashion we don't close the bracket up too much and block ourselves.All right. Now, we're gonna carefully lift our rear upwardly until our shocks are aligned with the holes and nosotros tin can get that bolt in. Then, our rear will exist hanging back on our shocks. All right, now we tin go ahead and finish tightening upward all our hardware. Call up, nosotros're using two 19s on the new hardware, and then two 18s on our manufactory hardware. Now, when installing our sway bar end links, there'south a couple different ways to practise this. Now, information technology all depends on what wheel you lot're running. At present, if you're running your stock wheels with larger tires on them, you're gonna wanna run your end link to the within of your sway bar. Now, if you lot're gonna be running it with aftermarket wheels and tires, gonna run information technology to the outside of your sway bar. Since nosotros're gonna be running a aftermarket cycle and tire on this one, nosotros're gonna put it on the outside. And, on the bottom, we're just gonna run our factory hardware.Now, to tighten up our hardware, we're gonna use our ii 18s on our factory hardware. And to tighten up our new hardware, on the meridian, we're gonna utilise an eight-millimeter Allen key and a 19-millimeter socket. All right, now the last few things we have to do is nosotros tightened upwardly our track bar, nosotros accept to get our bump stop extensions in. At present, they're just gonna commodities down to the summit of the bump stop pad on our rear axles. After that, we'll go alee and tighten upwardly our brake line brackets, get our parking brake cables dorsum on, and we'll motility to the front.Just line upward the two holes with our new bump stop extensions with the factory holes on our differential. Secure it down with the hardware in the kit. Nosotros can get our parking brake cables, they get in the aforementioned fashion they came out, just in reverse.All right, now we're ready to start on the front end of our Jeep JL lift kit. And to practise that, it's pretty much the same as the rear. We're gonna disconnect our lower shock mounts, we're gonna get our end links out of the way, pop our springs out. The only deviation is, on the front, nosotros're gonna practise our lower control arms. All right, nosotros're gonna employ our 10-millimeter, get our brake bracket off. Now, with our 18-millimeter, nosotros're gonna become our lower shock mount off. With our lower shock mount out, we can go ahead and get our sway bar cease link out all the same using the same 18 millimeters. Now, with a 21-millimeter, we're gonna get ahead and get our rails bar bracket disconnected. With everything disconnected, we can go ahead and start lowering our front beam assembly down and get our front springs out.All right. Now, to remove our lower command arm, we take a few bolts to take out, first 1 being the bracket that holds our brake lines. It's 15-millimeter, you remove the nut that's on the end of it, pop that off, let the restriction lines dangle, they'll be fine. Now nosotros're gonna utilise a 21 and a 24 to take the two bolts out that secure our control arm to our frame and our differential housing.All right. At present, earlier we go our springs into identify, we're gonna go ahead and get our new lower control arms in, and we're gonna use the aforementioned hardware that comes in the kit. Now, the kit too comes with camber adjustment plates. We'll wait to put those in one time we take information technology for an alignment. If they're needed, you can have the alignment shop install them and fix them where they need to be. You lot can run them straight upward to zilch, yous tin run them a degree and a one-half negative and a caste and a half positive, that'due south up to your alignment store once they check your pinion angle, once you're done with your installation. Allow's become ahead and get these installed and we're just gonna use our manufactory hardware for at present.Now, before yous install your control arms, brand certain y'all go your grease fittings installed. Tighten them downwards with a 3/16. Now we're gonna reinstall our restriction line bracket using the small-scale nut and bolt and washers that come in our kit.Okay. Now, with our lower command arms installed, we tin can become ahead and move on to getting our springs in and the rest of our bracketry and hardware. But you'll observe that I'm not tightening upward my command arms yet and the reason for that is is once you go it down on the basis and the weight of the vehicle sitting on the interruption, and so we'll become ahead and tighten those up. This way, it doesn't tear the bushings.Now we're ready to go ahead and get our new springs installed. Y'all wanna make certain that you lot put your bump finish extensions inside of the spring with the countersunk part facing up. Nosotros're gonna put the bolt in afterwards. Slide this up into place.All right. Next we're gonna go our daze extensions in then we can go our shock reconnected and we can become our pole jacks out of the mode. Just like on the rear, line upwardly the holes and install it with the hardware supplied.All right. Now nosotros're gonna become ahead and tighten upward all of our hardware, the 18 millimeters on our mill bolt, our nineteen millimeters here on our through commodities, and our 13-millimeter down here on our small subclass commodities.Now, I even so have all this open space here before I make it my end link, I'one thousand gonna go ahead and get my commodities in to bolt down my bump stop extension here inside of our bound perch. And follow that upward with the nut underneath our spring perch. Information technology's gonna be a footling scrap more difficult to get to. Now with two 14s, become ahead and tighten that bolt upwards. Our sway bar end link, just use the hardware that comes in the kit for your upper mount, and your mill hardware for your lower. Now, use your 18 millimeters on your lesser and our xix millimeters on our top.Next nosotros're gonna go ahead and get our final bolt in for our rail bar mount. Now, I might need the help of a friend to do this.Now, with everything tightened up, we are done the installation of our lift kit. Now, go alee and go your wheels and tires back on. And don't forget to tighten up your control arms, one time you get it back downwards on the ground. Now, that'southward all the same just your 21 and your 24 millimeters.
