Kudos to you for choosing a very usable & balanced lift. People have a tendency to “overlift” Jeeps. Unless you are building a dedicated trail rig, then the $3K lifts that put you +4” up don’t make much sense. I’m doing a 2.5” Rubicon Express with 35s, but could go 37s on Rubicon flares. That’s easily all that I’ll ever need on the trails around here.

Eddie nice video like always. I’m doing my research and I came across your install vid on this. I see you running 37’s with this kit and I’m assuming no re-gear, any issues or anything worth mentioning? Seems like I might be going with this setup on my 19 Rubicon JLU.

@wayalife

This is what I can tell you. Long term testing showed me that this lift will settled to just shy of 2" of actual lift. While it does work, it's a bit short for 37's and for me personally, a little too short. I ran it with both 4.10 gears and with new 5.13's and yes, you can run it with just the 4.10s and it won't be too bad.

I love ur video..just got myself a Jeep JL Willy's....and looking for mods and upgrades...2 inch lift or more is what I want....when u added the spring spacer did that give u any trouble..this lift kit may be just what I need...

New jeep owner here - I ran into your videos and LOVE THEM. I have a JLU sport and was wondering how was the ranchos set up vs this one? I'm about to lift mine but want to know which you would recommend - My jeep is my daily and also do some overlanding / camping. Thanks for the content!

@wayalife

Жыл бұрын

Glad to hear you like our videos! Regarding lift kits, I might have to go with the Rancho Sport lift if only because it provided about 2.5" of actual lift where as this kit only yielded about 1.8". Also, the Rancho kit costs a lot less.

I see that Dynatrac doesn't include an adjustable track bar (or control arms). Did you measure afterwards and see if the axles were centered? Im heading towards getting this kit due to who designed it (Tony) but wondering if I should install some RK adjustable track bars while Im doing it.

@wayalife

5 жыл бұрын

Unlike a lot of the 2" lift kits out there that actually yield more like 3" of lift, this Dynatrac kit will give you a true 2" of lift. This is well within the factory specs and there really is no need for an adjustable track bar or control arms. In fact, anytime you load or unload your Jeep with weight, your axles will shift to one side or the other as it's just the nature of the beast of a track bar that is mounted on the frame on one side and the axle on the other.

Looks like a nice setup do you have cooper tires on your jeep if so how are they holding up and you make everything looks so easy and who ever is recording nice work Thanks for the video

Since you have both a JKU and a JLU I'd love to see a video or get an answer on if the JLU front and rear seats will fit in the JKU. I love the added refinement on the JLU seats that's been missing on a JKU. I can't find anyone that has done this or willing to test this.

From what I can see, the seat brackets and mounting points are different. If anything, I might recommend that you install a set of MasterCraft seats or the like.

Hey, another awesome install video (like I should or would expect less) but I do have a couple questions. If I recall correctly you removed the rancho lift, to install the Dynatrac lift, however, when you installed the Rancho, you pointed out that Rancho paid attention to Jeep and made the coils specific to each corner of the JL, it looks like Dynatrac just made the front L/R and the rear L/R the same length. You made an issue of the fact that each front and rear coil were different lengths. Please advise. Also, how did the the Dynatrac compare to the Rancho? Thanks again for another awesome video....OH.... Have you had any of the "vague" steering issues reported on the JLU especially the Rubicon?

@wayalife

5 жыл бұрын

First off, this whole "vague" steering thing that people are whining about on social media is just stupid. I'm sorry but clearly, they are people who's previous vehicle was some kind of car with IFS and modern rack and pinion steering or something like that. This is a Jeep with a solid front axle, steering gear, drag link and tie rod that turns left and right and everything feels just about right to me. Does it feel like a Honda or BMW? Not even close but then, I don't want to be driving either. Second, regarding the Dynatrac coils - if anything, I'm kinda glad that they are all the same length being that my JL always had a lean to the driver side even wehn it was bone stock. This continued to be the case with the Rancho coils and I don't see it anymore. Third, when it comes to ride quality, the Dynatrac kit has it hands down as it offers a smooth but solid ride. It really is a perfect kit for a daily driven JL riding on 35's and sees most of its time on pavement. It also flexes way better as well. If there is a downside to it, it'd be that it costs twice as much as the Rancho kit and it sits lower than it too. Of course, this might be a plus for some especially if you liked a low COG build. The Rancho kit does a better job of holding up a lot of weight but it doesn't stuff as well due to its progressive rate coils.

There's a reason why shops that specialize in motor swaps like Motech have so many superchargers lining the floor - they're a complete waste of money. Once you get past the sales pitch and the fanboy hype, you'll find that the actual amount of HP/torque gains is far from what is advertised especially at the wheels and whatever you do get comes in at all the wrong times. This is why in spite of being offered 2 separate superchargers, we decided to save up and get an LS in our JK instead.

Hi! After adding lift kit and bigger tires, did you have to adjust speedometer? Do stock axles support the added weight or adjustments required? Also, did you need to upgrade your brake system?

Not for the lift but for the bigger tires. You can have your dealership do this or you can buy something like a Tazer JL. Axles are fine and so are the brakes.

Your videos are awesome. However I am currently considering a lift as I just got my first jeep. My biggest questions are do I need adjustable track bars front and back for a 2-2.5 lift. Also replacing all 8 control arms is out of my budget. Can I get by with just lower front CAs?

@wayalife

2 жыл бұрын

MOST lift kits will yield MORE than what is advertised. A lift like this will yield LESS. Long term testing showed us we only got 1.8" of total lift and that is well with in factory spec. Needless to say, no adjustable track bar is needed for it or anything else for that matter. IF you get a lift that gives you 2.5" of lift or more, a rear track bar relocation bracket will help there and an adjustable front will be nice to have to help recenter your front axle at ride height but not really necessary. And yes, you can get by with just adjustable front lowers to add in a bit more positive caster.

I love your videos! I’m a new Jeep owner…do you think would be better to replace even the lower control arms with a 2” lift? I noticed Mopar with the 2” lift provides the control arms.

@wayalife

Жыл бұрын

Thank you. We're so glad to hear you enjoy our videos. Regarding your question, there is no need for new lower control arms. The Mopar kit comes with them because it offers over 3" of actual lift. This kit offers just less than 2". At that height, you're caster will not be affected enough to warrant correction.

Thanks again you two for another first rate install video, I've watched a lot of how-to videos and yours are still the best. So seriously thanks for the effort you put in over there. I do have an off topic question, if you don't mind. How do you find the Tekton tools working out for you? We've been replacing our Craftsman stuff with Tekton as the choice for "best bang for the buck/Everyday wrenching" based on reviews but we're new-ish to the Tekton brand so would love to hear your thoughts before we get too heavily invested. The shop will eventually be a mix of Snap-On and Tekton (which kind of rhymes too which is a bonus).

@wayalife

5 жыл бұрын

In terms of ride quality, Dynatrac is a nicer lift. The Fox 2.0's were made specifically tuned for the Dynatrac coils that were made specifically for them. Also, in terms of flex, Dynatrac does better as well if only because the shocks offer a greater amount of travel. Where Rancho has a leg up is in it's price - about half the cost. Also, if you're wanting a taller lift, the Rancho kit does yield more. Last but not least, the Rancho kit comes with progressive rate coils and they do a better job of holding up the weight of a lot of gear. The down side to this is that this limits stuff. Otherwise, the ride Rancho provides really isn't too bad.

I came here to ask to the best, because I love your videos and what you do !! Do you know if this lift kit has been tested in JL 2 doors ? If no, how do you think it will work?

For the Rancho lift and the Dynatrac, what would make me choose one over the other in terms of feel? Was one better suited for a certain terrain? If you can recalll this far back haha

So, after long term testing, we found the Dynatrac lift to only yield 1.8" of lift. This was far too little for 37" tires. The Rancho lift yielded about 2.5" and cleared 37's well. As far as ride goes, the Rancho shocks actually felt smoother on pavement and for daily driving and mainly because they are old school hydros but they do fade when doing a lot of hard and fast driving across the desert. The Fox shocks that come with the Dynatrac lift resist fading better.

Will installing a 2 inch lift accelerate wear on the drive line or any joints?

Unlike most lift kits that yield closer to 3" of lift, this Dynatrac EnduroSport provides an exact 2" of lift and that is well within the factory specs. Accelerated wear of the driveline or control arm joints will NOT be an issue. IF you run wheels with less back spacing, you will accelerate the wear of your ball joints but that's a problem caused by the wheels and not the lift.

Got a rubicon express 2 inch lift the ride is pretty stuff and I feel every single bump, most of my driving is highway driving, how would you compare/rate the dynatrac lift for highway driving? I'm bummed I spent a lot of money on that lift when I feel like I should've gotten this one. Are you aware of any discounts or any hookups? Anything would be appreciated and looking forward to your feedback!!

I responded to you on the other video you posted on. I think you might be happier with what I recommended.

There is something so calming and doable about listening to this video.....I would feel better if all the cursing and busted knuckles sections were included so I didn't feel bad about going to hell on my own.

LOL - Glad you enjoyed the video :)

I don’t know if it was discussed before but would this be better with some new control arms? I know it would drive the cost up considerably but seems appropriate.

When the coils settled out, I only saw 1.8" of total lift. This is maybe the shorest 2" lift I've tested and relatively speaking, within stock spec. With that said, no, new control arms would not be needed.

Thank you I’m going to buy my first Jeep Wrangler soon. Rubicon or Sahara still debating since I commute on the highway a lot to work. Any advise? Because I heard the constant driving can be a rough ride but I don’t know if that’s just a rumor and not really true. I have yet to test drive either one.

I would say that you really need to test drive one as everyone has their own idea of what is rough or nice. That way, you'll know for sure.

Wayalife thank you for that

Did you add the front dynatrac control arms as well? If so worth it? Or good as a base spring and shock kit.

I did not. And, should note that I removed this lift as it ended up settling to just 1.8" of lift and it was too short to clear 37's.

No need for ajustable front and rear track bars with this kit? What about castor angles? Thanks

Not with a lift this small. You'll only get 1.8" of actual lift out of it.

I noticed you didn't loosen the control arms on this install, is that due to the aftermarket arms installed? If you have stock arms would you loosen then tighten once back on the ground? Thanks! Great video!!!

Good eye. I didn't loosen the control arms due to the fact that my EVO adjustable control arms have Johnny Joints on both ends. Because of it, there is no bushing bind to be concerned with. That being said, this Dynatrac lift yields exactly 2" of lift - this as opposed to 3" of lift or more with most of the 2" lift kits being sold today. The 2" is well with in factory spec and so loosening up the bolts and then tightening them again is not necessary. However, if we still were running factory arms, I might do it anyway.

Wayalife Thanks, Eddie. I appreciate the response. Hoping I win am a lucky winner of this one, but if not I see either Rubicon takeoff suspension or maybe the budget kit in my future.

I have been fighting with my AEV lift trying to dial it on for weeks and it’s just so harsh. Would this or a teraflex lift be a more plush and comfortable ride?

@wayalife

I am sorry to say but neither will be more plush and comfortable. Both are designed to not sag as much when carrying a heavy load and you just can't have your cake and eat it too. Mopar or even EVO coils will offer a much softer ride and if you carry a lot of gear, I would recommend that you install coil spacers to help make up the difference. Both of those coils are designed more for ride comfort.

Considering price, which lift kit did you like the best 2" Rancho or 2" Dynatrac? Great video...

If price is a factor, you can't beat the Rancho kit.
