Eddie, it is time to shave the sides

 

[OverlanderJK]

So many slams. Where are the haters?

 

[Trail Bud]

Very nice. That took some time.

Your tips and tricks are so helpful. I've used my harbor freight spring compressor so much that they are bending and didn't realize I could have just lifted one side of the axle.

Eddie, it is time to shave the sides

LOL - had a lot going on at the time but I can assure you that they've been shaved since

So many slams. Where are the haters?

LOL - they're coming, trust me.

 

[wayoflife]

Very nice. That took some time.

Thanks! If you haven't already installed your lift, this should help out.

LOL - I'm sorry I didn't post this up sooner.

 

[Rancho]

NICE!!!!!!

that was a great tutorial! I may need to get that parking brake relocation bracket if it's sold separately, I don't like how my lines got re-routed but just left hanging.
my brain went to 15yo when I heard, "find that hole, stick it in"

Very nice! Those control arms look pretty stout. That driver side spring can be a bear with the drive shaft hitting the skid. Mine was the same way. Awesome video that will help many get the courage to do this.

Thank you for making the great parts that you make and glad you enjoyed the video.

Glad you liked the video and yes, the parking brake cable relocation bracket is one of the best I've tested.

And, feel free to go 15 yo, this is after all, the internet

The arms are every bit as stout as a LOT of social media trendy brands that I've installed and tested in the past.

 

[RESURECTIONJK]

Awesome! Brings back memories of when you guys installed something similar on JET ahead of the 2019 JLX. Also…. Do I spot a yellow JKU in the background? Hmm….

 

[TrailHunter]

That's going to help a lot of the "I don't think I can do it-er's"... Great install video. Very Detailed as always.

 

[Bear_JT]

Very cool! It’s coming along great.

 

[DirtHeadDavis]

That Rancho kit is really nice actually. Great starting point and great video!

 

[Shadow's_Jeep]

Very informative video. will help a lot if I ever put a lift on the JL 2 door.
