To diy or not to diy - frankenlift 1.5”

[graywolf.trails]

Folks i currently run on stock suspension with 285/70/17 on my JLU Sahara

i have the following components with me as i handpicked them for my Frankenstein lift.

• Clayton 1.5” springs front and rear
• Mopar LCA from 2” lift
• Mopar sway bar links from 2” lift
• Fox ifp shocks 2-3” lift version
• Teraflex jounce bump stop from their 1.5 ST1 kit

I initially thought i will attempt to install this myself in my garage with floor lift and jacks but I’m having second thoughts. Given the cost of tools etc, is is best to use an installer even if they provide no warranty since they didn’t source the parts?

Is it worth doing this myself and take that risk with minimal to no experience with automotive tinkering?

Save this link to your home page:

Jeep JK Wrangler Torque Settings – Project-JK.com

I go to that all the time...haha. good reference

Also, consider downloading the instal instructions from a lift that has similar components. It will be close enough to give you guidance and some peace of mind that you’re doing it correctly.

I have printed out instructions from mopar lift and Clayton lift. Going to use the reference for torque specs

Just take your time and pay attention to the torque specs and the instructions. The folks here will help when and if you ask. When I do anything on my Jeep I try to be as methodical as possible. This helps me take my time and pay attention to the details. Then I go back and double check any torque specs and any other fastener.
