I love these informative videos you’ve been doing lately

It really helps that you showed this on the same grey 2 door that I own.

Awesome video. I am fairly new to the 4 wheel drive scene and have been looking for something like this to explain how the suspension actually works.

Great video. Your explanation was concise and informative. Extremely helpful. Is there a possibility that you can discuss the minimum needs necessary to run 35s or 37s to wheel off and on road. Lots of info out there and it's difficult to know what the essentials are to run safely.

@Doomslice77389

5 жыл бұрын

Minimum on road - 2.5" lift for 35's. 3.5" lift for 37's. If you are going to be wheeling heavy you will want higher fenders or a taller lift with those tires sizes. Just be careful because anything over 4" and something your going to wheel your going to need new driveshafts sooner rather than later.

To piggy back on Jason's question: in your vast ET videos, which would demonstrate the type of terrain that needs the sway bars disconnected, as opposed to trails with with foot-deep puddles, bowling ball sized rocks, etc. (I have a 2.5" MOPAR lift, 35" tires.)

@jeremyhulbert3343

5 жыл бұрын

In addition to the driveshafts mentioned above, new axles and re-gearing are good ideas. 35" wheels will make quick work of the stock axles if you off-road with any regularity. Re-gearing depends on tire size and how you use your jeep. There are handy re-gearing charts you can look up that will show this. The real thing that needs to be understood is that going above a 2.5" lift or 33" tires involves doing a lot more upgrades in addition to the extra cost of the bigger tires and lift kit. Between upgrading the drive train and re-gearing, expect to spend around $3,200 on parts alone, and if you get everything done at a shop, labor will run you around $2,000 (this is why most wrangler owners who don't plan on much off-roading go with 2.5" lifts with 33" tires.....it's enough to look better than stock and doesn't require additional expensive upgrades).

That was the best explanation video for lifts I’ve ever seen!!! Well done

Thank you for such an informative video!! Please do more like these.

so i bought my jeep about 2 years ago and it came with a lift kit on it, only problem is is that I'm not sure what size it is, and whether it's a suspension or spacer lift. The time has come to buy new shocks, but I need to know what size shocks to buy. And to know that I need to know my lift size, or I can measure the shocks extended and collapsed, BUT it would make it 10x easier to shop buy lift size as oppose to shop buy shock length, how should I go about finding out what size lift I have?

I just got the Rubicon express 2.5 in with monotube shocks lift kit. The kit mentioned no need to change drive shaft. Unlike other kits that say you need to change it. When i put the rubicon express lift if there more that i am gonna need to do or are the geometry components more of an issue when it comes to 3in and up kits?

It is very informative video, I am new to jeep and my question is if I install longer control arm is that means pushing the axle forward which i afraid the tire may rub against the bumper? I have 33” tire thanks

Adjustable lower control arms would simply bring your front axle back to where it was before the Jeep was lifted! It won't go any closer to your front bumper if adjusted properly. -Zach

You'll see your front axle be shifted to the side about an inch, honestly.

Nope! The only piece you'll need to install is the spacer itself. No other parts will be needed. The leveling kit you found sounds like it will work perfectly, just make sure its for your respected Jeep (JK or JL). -Zach

So, if I were to purchase a 2.5" lift kit, it's recommended that I should purchase a kit that comes with control arms, track bar, drag link etc?

Very good video! I have a 2021 4 door Jeep wrangler Rubicon can you please list a couple 3.5" complete lift kits that will cover everything that was mentioned in your video? So one doesn't have to worry about geometry issues at all?

Hey, Joey! Is your Jeep lifted at all? If so, it may be worth looking into an adjustable front track bar and adjustable front lower control arms to get your alignment where it needs to be. I'd also recommend checking your tires out, if they're overinflated or have irregular wear it can contribute to negative handling characteristics. Best of luck! -Zach

Hi. I jus buy a jk with a lift, the jeep have a very bad wandering feeling while driving. I replaced ball joints, new track bar. Shocks, steering box, but still having the same problem. You think a tide tie rod can cause wandering or fix the caster can be better..

@extremeterrain

If you haven't replaced the tie rod ends yet, I'd highly recommend it. That will really help tighten things up in your steering. If your lift doesn't have adjustable front lower control arms either, I'd recommend looking into them as well. They will allow you to adjust your caster, which will help your Jeep track straighter down the road and not wonder as much. - Zach

You'll want to check your tie rod end links, ball joints, control arm bushings and wheel bearings. Any one of those places can cause a "clunk" when worn out. -Zach

Wow that really helped

So if I have a stock JKU is there any reason I would not want a kit that includes all the discussed parts? It sounds like every part mentioned should be replaced to accommodate the lift.

@extremeterrain

5 жыл бұрын

As long as you have the budget and you're doing more than a simple 1.5 inch leveling kit, there is no reason whatsoever that you would not want a kit that includes new track bars, lower control arms, swaybar links, brake line extension, etc. The more components you replace to correct your geometry the better you Jeep will perform, ride on the road, and last overall through regular usage. There are plenty of great budget level systems out there, but you really get what you pay for. -Zach

So good

does anyone know the consequences of using the factory sway bar links with a lift? I've installed a 3.5" lift, but it did not come with front sway bar links (it included rear sway bar links oddly enough)

@extremeterrain

3 жыл бұрын

A lot of budget-oriented lift kits will give you a new set of rear sway bar links, then have you use your factory rear links in the front of your Jeep since they're naturally longer anyway and they'll accommodate the new lift height. If you have the room in your budget though, getting a set of new front swaybar links with disconnects is a good idea! Especially if your factory links are worn. -Zach

I guess I shouldn't go with just shocks and springs... 4inch TJ lift just got a lot more expensive

Vibration while driving after a lift kit is installed is most likely coming from your drive line. I'm not entirely sure what all was installed with that lift kit, but here's a little list of extra parts I highly recommend you look into. Adding them will really help your suspension geometry and the ride of your Jeep, along with solving the vibrations: A front adjustable track bar, front-lower and rear-upper control arms, a slip-yoke eliminator kit and a new rear double cardan driveshaft (this will go with the slip-yoke eliminator kit).

I would check out your track bar, ball joints, front lower control arms, and tie-rod ends. Since all of those are wearable parts they may be worn just enough to cause loose steering now that you added the extra weight of 35s. If you don't already have one, an adjustable track bar may be a nice option to add to keep that front axle centered as well. Also, make sure those 35s aren't over-inflated because that can cause wondering in steering as well. Hope this helps! -Zach

34 psi should definitely have things running smoother! A lot of tire shops see "max psi" on the side of mud tires and think that they need to be filled that high for daily driving.
