VIDEO : How to Install a Lift Kit on a Jeep Wrangler JL for Beginners

[Trail Bud]

Ok, I’ve been watching this and other videos from Wayalife to prep for a small lift install on my JL.
The videos really help. My last lift install was 2008, so that and bad knees now, I was thinking maybe I shouldn’t. But with seeing the install video, it gives me a reference to go to. I’m hoping 2-3 hrs for each axle. I give myself 2 days to complete the job. So no rush anxiety.
over the years I’ve done of self installs / repairs with help from theses videos Eddie and Cindy make. I watched others and there’s no comparison to information, detail and quality.
So thanks for the help. Saved me at least $500.00.
When this is done, I’m ready for the trail!

While the kit featured is made by Rancho, the step-by-step instructions will apply to most any standard coil and shock suspension system, from a basic 2” budget boost up to a 4”+ lift, complete with adjustable control arms and track bars. Of course, every tool you’ll need is identified, torque settings are stated and tips and tricks to help make the process easier, are provided as well. Trust me, this is something you can do!

Awesome video Eddie and Cindy! Definitely will be helpful when I get my lift. Now just deciding between EVO and rancho but after this video I’m leaning towards ranchos 3 inch for the gladiator a little taller to give me the option to go 38s if I want. lol looking forward to the next video!

Great work by both of you as always. This will be so helpful to so many jeepers out there. Love those tight shots for bolt alignment. (flag nut)
