Jeep JL WRANGLER Lift Kit Installation RANCHO 2 Inch Sport Lift - A BETTER BUDGET BOOST

It always amazes me that there are people out there who would completely cheap out and buy a set of $180 coil spacers and shock extensions to lift a $30,000 to $50,000 Jeep JL Wrangler. I mean, I get that these people might be on a budget especially after making an expensive purchase like that but to spend that much money on a Jeep and then ruin its ride just to get a bit of lift - it just makes no sense to me.

Also known as a "budget boost", coil spacers will get your JL Wrangler sitting higher off the ground but they'll do so at the cost of your ride. Ultimately, you're still working with a set of really soft factory coils, ones that were never designed to carry the kind of weight you'd get from something like a heavy steel bumper and winch or a ton of gear packed in the back and with all of that weight sitting higher off the ground. Of course, shock extensions will allow you to keep your factory shocks but then, those shocks were designed to manage the weight of stock wheels and tires - NOT the significantly heavier weight of big off road tires and/or beadlock wheels and I would assume, that's the reason why most people are wanting to lift their JL in the first place.

The Rancho 2" Sport Lift is a $640 lift kit... you hear that? Just SIX HUNDRED and FORTY DOLLARS and it comes complete with new progressive rate coils, new RS5000X shocks with DRS and a host of other components that'll not only help you lift your JL Wrangler but do so in a way that will offer a much better ride, both on and off road. Heck, if you're lucky enough to buy it while Rancho is running one of their great rebate programs, you'll even be able to save an additional $100! Sure, this kit costs a bit more but really, it's just a bit and if you ask me, it's a much better way to give your JL Wrangler a bit of a boost and on a budget.

In this episode of the JL JOURNAL, you'll see all that you'll get with the Rancho Sport Lift and just how easy it is to install on a Jeep JL Wrangler. You'll also get to see our initial testing of it and hear our impressions of it. We hope you enjoy.

NOTE: This video is just a highlight of what will need to be done in order to install the Rancho Sport Lift on a Jeep JL Wrangler. It is important for you to reference the instructions that Rancho provides with this kit to ensure complete and proper installation.

There is not much in my week more satisfying than hearing the wrench click of a proper torque spec'd nut! :)

I really enjoy your channel.
There are many people out there that know Jeeps, but have no clue on how to make a quality video for YouTube....
You got the skills for both.
Keep em coming, and we will keep watching!!!!

I knew it before its too late that sweet looking stock JL would turn into an offroad monster. Love watching these videos.

[Aeolus]

Love the way you format the videos. Holy cow i wish other mod installers would make videos like you. little tips and tricks, torque specs all easy to understand. Makes me want a jeep!

[TheBigcountry]

I just have to say your videos are by far the best I have watched in a very long time. Just got done watching all your videos and were looking forward to the next adventure. We can't wait for our new Jeep JL to get delivered to drop some serious coin and make it our wayalife.

Thanks to you and this video, it gave me some great ideas for my semi-mild JL build. I added this Rancho 2" Sport lift today and put 315/70r17's on my stock rims. They're 34.4x12.4 BFG KO2's so my Jeep still looks kind of stock but it has a lot more capability. Thanks again for the fantastic videos, keep up the good work!!

Great video. But also what can't go unmentioned, is the great media editing and sound. Great video in that aspect as well!

[bobwampler]

I so love your garage! A wrenchers heaven.

[BadV]

Great video! Love the sound effects. Simple humor, but it works well. Wish all suspension parts came with your video instructions. Good job man!

[brcc]

Dude your videos are the best I have ever seen here on youtube! I love the creative sound effects in every action made. You must utilize a high-quality mic for audio. You're tutorials are easy to follow and informative. Whatever you're doing it just works! Thanks for sharing!

[stealtheli]

You made that look like a lot of fun. Plus I like the sound effects you did at the beginning of the video

[timkgt]

editing on this video was awesome. much better than some of the last install videos. nice work!

[saleen]

You should make a garage tour video. Your setup is absolutely ridiculously amazing dream status. I need whatever job you have haha!

[marksuson]

Thanks for the video's Eddie. Just installed this kit on my JLU Sport and this video was a great help!

[ratled]

I have the JK version of that 4 coil Sport lift and have been very happy with it. I think you should be happy with the JL version

[duathlete]

Another excellently produced and edited video!

[ortizcaify]

Another awesome video and I definitely like this lift. It will be nice to see how much better it does on the trail. Thanks again

[trailrunnah]

Nice. Great install video. And as far as this lift vs. a budget boost, those will be great for the 3rd and 4th owners of these vehicles. Anyone who can afford a 50 thousand dollar Jeep new though, can afford 600 bucks for a proper lift kit.

Wish you were in Florida.. I have a new JL and need a good installer
