I'd suggest loosening the upper and lower control arm bolts before dropping the axles. That takes the tension off of the bushings so they are free to move. If you don't do this, the factory bushings are going to be pretty much destroyed. They are not designed to allow the control arms that much movement while tightened.
I did this easily with jack stands and two jacks to raise and lower the suspension. Track bar bolt wouldn't line up with or without wheels and shocks on, so I turned the wheel slightly and it lined right up. Super easy install!
While you're in their you should replace the front spring base pad with a Metalcloak correction pad to help keep springs straight.
Excellent video.
Thanks for the love, Reg! -Zach
Great instructional video. It helped me with the install, much simpler than instructions supplied by manufacturer. They listed several unnecessary steps including loosening the control arms (not needed). The only thing I needed to do was utilize a small bottle jack to articulate the axles to get springs out. That was because I was working in driveway with floor jacks and jack stands. I appreciated the video and it earned you a subscriber👍
We're super happy it helped you out, Shamis! Thanks for watching! -Zach
You definitely want to loosen the control arms unless you enjoy destroying the factory bushings.
superglue on that rear isolator and spacer will keep you from pulling your hair out... That way it holds itself up aligned. Just a few drops around it.
Lady wrencher.. Cool!
Question: did you have to adjust the length fog the track bars for the lift?
Can I use those spacers on my 2021 rubicon extreme recon that already has factory 1.5inch lift?
Thank you Meredith. Showing us that women can, and do, wrench. And for those who think it’s a show, look at that bruise on her right arm; it didn’t get there from answering a phone!
Merideth is a badass. You could see her doing installs in a bunch of XT videos.
Luke Edward it’s to a matter of turning a wrench, she a human, yes she has the ability of holding a wrench. What’s impressive is she didn’t break her new new nails!
@@odavila03 Idiot
did mine spacer lit yesterday. question if it rides different then it did without spacers what does that mean? It feels very bumpy like my tires have to much air.
Is it safe to just lift the rear and leave the front in it’s stock height?
I have a question. I just bought a new JL. Measured it. It's perfectly level from the factory. I want a slight lift to work better with the 35's I just put on, but selling levelling kits on already level vehicles would make the front higher which is NOT safe. I have a truck and pull a 40' trailer so before I set it up properly I knew what that was like. That probably explains why I see all the JLs driving around with the front ends higher. Do you have a small lift that is same for front and rear?
Hey. Look into the aev 2 inch spacer kit. It's 2" even front and rear, also comes with a procal to correct the speedometer with the larger wheels
Mine looks level also, what did you measure to see that is was?
Uh...you forgot your safety glasses ma'am. 😁
Would the mopar 2” longer front LCAs be needed for this spacer lift if the Jeep is a rubicon 4dr?
They aren't 100% needed, but it wouldn't be a bad idea! A set of adjustable front lower control arms would help keep your alignment in-check as well. -Zach
How is everyone using this kit liking the ride any different? How u guys liking it
do you re-install the brake line braket ?
The control arm bracket isn't re-installed to help give it a little slack. -Merideth
So I don’t need get shock extensions ? I just want to make sure my factory wheels are just fine. The truck shop in my town said I can’t just use spacers even for daily driving I would have issues. 🤦🏽♀️
This is a very basic kit so you shouldn't run into issues with the height and adding to this kit would be at your discretion. It wouldn't be a bad idea to add shock extensions, but they are not required. This kit will require aftermarket wheels w/ 4.75” backspacing or less or 1.75" offset wheel adapters/wheel spacers for the best fitment.
Shock spacers are not needed as well? Considering buying this kit from you folks. Thank you.
They aren't 100% needed, but if your budget allows for it I would highly recommend looking into a set of shock extensions or a new set of longer shocks. -Zach
What falcon shocks would you recommend with this?
would i need an alignment after installing this?
We always recommend getting an alignment whenever you alter your suspension with a lift kit. -Zach
do you require to do any modifications to the inside of a wheel well of a WRANGLER JL 4WD equipped with a 3.5 in. suspension lift & 35.0 in. M-A/T radial tyres??? Please advise!!!!!!!!!!!
JLs honestly do not need a lot of lift to fit larger tires compared to TJs and JKs! You can comfortably fit 35s with 2.5" of lift. With 3.5" of lift you will have plenty of room to flex things out and you honestly won't have to worry about wheel well modifications as long as you wheel has proper backspacing. -Zach
After adding spacers of 2" in front and 1.5" in rear, do you need longer shocks?
We would recommend longer shocks or shock extenders to take advantage of full shock travel, but it's not 100% needed to bolt up.
So with this kit I won't need shock extensions or longer bump stops???
Not necessarily but if you want to add them into the mix for the best drivability you certainly can! -Merideth
Will this work on a stock Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon on 35’s?
You should be good to go with 35's on a Rubi. The fenders sit a bit higher so you'll have a bit more clearance and the factory bump stops will still offer the limit you need. Thanks for watching! -Merideth
I have a JLU sport. I have a STOCK rubicon shocks, springs, wheels and tires ready to get installed. If i get this kit, do I need wheel spacers?
Nope! If you're just installing a set of stock Rubicon suspension on to your JL, wheel spacers should not be needed. -Zach
I’m not an expert, but there are videos of jl’s with 285/75/17 that don’t rub, even at full flex. I think if you disconnect the sway bar though, that’s a different story. I also believe I’ve read from the wrangler forums that 285’s WILL rub on the jk’s though.
Why do you have to cut off the bracket can’t you just remove the nut???
Probably because she wont use it again and having it loose will hurt the brake lines. I dont know i would have cut two inche of plate and make some kind of extender i dont trust myself with a Grindr near those brake lines.
You aren't cutting the bracket for removal. You're cutting the bracket in order to get the brake line out. It's easier to cut when it's still bolted in place. Score it to weaken it, pry it open, remove brake line, then unbolt the bracket and discard. If you try to pry it open without cutting it, the lower part of the bracket bends instead.
285/70r17 🤔🤔🤔
put some spring compressor while the vehicle is on it own weight. than jack it up. The spring will fall out. 🤣🤣🤣
This is what I did, blows my mind they're doing all these steps just to add a spacer lift lol
Just don't get that these kits always want to lift the front more. To me a slight rake allows for carrying passengers with luggage or gear or pulling a trailer and still being level. Raising the front more seems pointless to me, but it seems to be what everyone does. I'd like to find 1.5 spacers front and rear.
Some owners don't have much cargo or people to carry, so a leveled look all the time works well! Thanks for watching!
Will this work for a 4xe?
Yes, this should fit the 4xe!
Great video but somewhat costly for a spacer lift.
Thanks for the love! Honestly, for the price you can't beat what you get in this kit. Most other spacer kits available for the JL right now (without going to Amazon or eBay anyway) are right around the same price, if not higher. I think its a great deal if all you want to do is get a little bigger tire! -Zach
Will this work for the 392?
It sure will! -Zach
What is the actual tire size for the 33s on there?
295 70 17 u going to like it
I have a shop this was nightmare
Stuff gets sketchy real quick
Beware !!!!!
the non bfg 33s look bigger
Internet tells me bfgs run a little small.
Do you know if this kit make the suspension stiffer or sorter?.
Thanks
Since these spacers re-use the factory springs and shocks, your ride quality will remain pretty darn close to factory! -Zach
@@extremeterrain thanks for your answer, now I'm confused, the terraflex dealer here in canada says actually that setup it is incomplete because I will have caster corrections problems. And he said spacers always makes the car stiffer.. on bumps . What do you recommend more for a budget setup.. because fox kit . Just to save manufacture warranty here in Canadá is more than 3k .. I know in that range we can find better options even cheapest.. appreciate your answer. Thanks
Your dealer technically is correct, adding these spacers will cause changes in your suspension geometry and cause misalignments. But since the lift itself is only 1.5", it really won't be THAT drastic of a change. The ride quality still shouldn't be that different from the factory. If you want this kit to be a little more complete - you could easily add a set of front lower control arms to correct your caster and a new set of shocks made specifically for 1.5" of lift to help the ride quality. See the following links below, hope this helps! -Zach

Why don't you just compress the springs?
cause most people dont have the compressor tool
🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking the same thing
This is a $3.000 to $4,800 upgrade not sure if it’s worth the money
If you can do it your self it’s a big saving for sure $3000 but a 1.5 lift
Yes Jeep Wrangler will look amazing!
New Wheels about $1000
Tires $1000
Lift kit for 1.5
Mechanic to install $2,800
$2800 for install would be a largeeeee overpay. I'd estimate $800-$1000 tops depending on your area, especially since this kit only involves adding spacers to your existing suspension. Pair that with a new set of tires on your factory wheels, and you could have a brand new looking Jeep for around $2000 depending on what size and brand tires you want! -Zach
you could have just lowered the car to put the shocks back on
That's exactly what she did.
Nice job!
You put some male Mechanics to shame 😂
Thanks for watching, Pete! -Zach
Wow, have to do all that just to add a spacer? Its definately not a somewhat easy job. Especially for the majority of people that dont have a garage or/and a lift. Ill pass and keep it stock height.
Why is she working with an Apple Watch you do know it’s gonna get banged up on edges and stuff while you’re working🤦🏻♂️
Are the stock springs side specific?
I believe that they have a slight difference in spring compression for even weight distribution! -Merideth
