Great video. I’m about to rebuild a TJ on my channel and I’m loving your content and your selection of products.

can i add .75" spacers to this as well?

[troyrichards]

Do you need a track bar relocation bracket? Transfer case bracket as well like the 3.5 and up kits?

Doing it now....
Western NY., You'll need to pull the gas tank, an hot wrench the shock bolt's!!!
Or break them!
I used one of those cheap sockets that fit everything (bunch of rod's in a 3/4 socket) because they are so deteriorated that nothing fit for the gas tank removal, 4.5 hrs. For the rear alone!!!
With tank removal for torch work....

My look good but lose control, need Alignment?

[dannyromine]

You didn’t mention the spring compressor tool that’s a special tool!!

[AR_]

Love the video! What is the new rim dimensions please? Tire height?

[andrewbrown]

Do you need anything special for the break lines?

[TheComputerGuy]

That is the nicest spring compressor ever.. Care to share the Brand name?

With 32s and 33s wouldn't you have to regear or you lose overall performance?

[scottmartin]

I installed this kit this weekend, and now I can't go above 45mph with out it shaking like crazy. I did not unbolt the track bars at all. Should I loosen them up and then re bolt them up to see if they adjust any? Alignment shop said that they couldn't fix the shake with just an alignment. Thoughts?

[Hopey]

Thanks for explaining the differences!

[Beaverj]

I have a 05 Rubicon, I'm not sure about the stock springs but I heard they are a bit bigger than the other models. so my question is will I still get the 2.5 lift on my rubicon? thanks

[jasonlujan]

is an wheel alignment required after installation?

[aarondmtz]

do you recommend a transfer case drop kit after this 2.5" lift is installed? or perhaps a motor mount lift to compensate for the drive shaft angle?

[yayabamba]

would 2" lift kit and a set of 33" tire cause premature wear of the other suspension components
and how fast the jeep 01' tj will run with this set up
thanks

[nathanalmassey]

Anybody know what size wheels those are

[esteban]

If i put 2.5 inch lift, will i have to replace the control arm?

[lethalsargis]

I'm looking to buy this lift kit for my 97 TJ. What else do I need to replace other than shocks and springs for this lift kit?

[anthonypovoa]

does anyone know the name of the 33s that are on after the lift kit is installed?
