2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ 2" Budget Boost lift front

Installing a Rusty's Offroad 2" Budget Boost kit on a WJ 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee lift front. Maxxis Buckshot Mudder 245/75/16 tires.

[@southbay281]

For the amount of years that I've been working on vehicles I just noticed something that should have been noticed. I was always using a breaker bar to compress the coil but you got it right by using the jack and compressing it that way. Good job and great video. I just got my 3-in lift and I'll be doing the same this week

[@shitzengiggles8254]

I bought a budget boost kit from JGCParts for my 04 Cherokee... 2.5"front and 2"rear. Their instructions really did not go into detail. Your video saved me $$ from having to take my Jeep into an auto shop to get mine installed. I also installed new shocks so the job took me a few hours. Thank you for posting this video, it was really really helpful. positioning of the spring compressors is key, i rented mine from my local auto store. Thanks again.

[@mrhupen]

You placed the spacers on the bottom of the springs but rusty's website says they ride at the TOP of the springs. Did you do this for any particular reason? This kit is simply a set of 4 spacers positioned on top of the factory coil springs. Since the factory coils are retained, you can be sure this kit has no negative effects on the excellent factory ride characteristics! No bump stops are needed; we have found that they may limit travel more than needed unless you use a significantly larger tire. We recommend a maximum 245 size tire for this kit. The factory shock absorbers are long enough to work with this kit, however we recommend replacing them with Rusty's Hydro Performance Shocks for an better ride and for proper extension travel when the vehicle is used off-road.

[@flightriskproductions3296]

Bro, Extremely informative on the size=brand of tire and the difference shown with and with out. I just bought a 99 and I am realizing everything you can do, so far I'm Impressed! Good video my dude.

[@FastestIntegra]

I did not rotate the rears to the front until the fronts needed to be replaced. I am just now needing to replace the other two tire's, I got about 25,000 miles out of them. with a lot of off road use.

[@TheFishMiester]

I see you put Nylon the spacers on the bottom, Rough country shows putting them on the top, so which way is right ?

Antknee470 where'd you get your lift from? And was it spacers

[@TheCenozoicEra]

instead of lowering it and then jacking it back up with the coil compresser, Why didn't you just put the compressor on then lower it and take the shock out?

[@ksilva808]

Front spacers go on top, rears go on bottom.

[@FastestIntegra]

Are you sure? Please tell everyone in your opinion why and what the difference would be top vs bottom. Theoretically it should not matter if its on the top or bottom. It drives like stock and 4wheels even better.

[@ksilva808]

@@FastestIntegra because thats what the instructions say & also everyine elses comments.

[@ProjectDanH]

@@FastestIntegra the spacers absorb energy to reduce vibration to the cab. You'll feel it more with the spacers on the bottom

[@FastestIntegra]

NOT true. I talked to the guys at Rusty's Offroad. They said theoretically it does not matter if it's on the top or the bottom. The spacer is not a vibration dampener it's a spacer. With or without it the vibration would be the same if it was on top or bottom.

[@jeepercreepers54]

9 years later and the coil spring spacers are supposed to go above the springs. Read your instructions people.

[@FastestIntegra]

Why don't you explain to everybody why they should be on top vs the bottom is there a difference in your opinion? And don't give me some bullshit answer like that's what the instructions say because instructions are generally a guideline on how to do things not this is exactly how it should be done. What do you think is going to happen if it was installed that way? How long do you think I drove it like that for without having problems? My KZbin channel has all the video evidence you'll need LOL

[@johnpugh86]

In your video for the front and the back you decompress the spring, put the compressor on, then compress the spring all the way back down, that doesn't make any sense. You do the same thing when you're taking the compressor off. You ought to be installing the compressor at the springs most compressed state as well as uninstalling it at its most compressed state, it will save you a good amount of time and trouble.

[@FastestIntegra]

"You ought to be installing the compressor at the springs most compressed state as well as uninstalling it at its most compressed state." Only if you can fit the spring compressor on when the springs are all the way compressed. Not happing the spring compressor is about a 1/2 inch thick.

[@johnpugh86]

I think you're completely missing my point. Even at the amount of compression at which you remove the springs, there is still enough space to get the lip of the compressor in and out of the space between the coils. I'm just saying you're making too much work for yourself, not that you're doing anything "wrong." I appreciate that you made these videos, things like this help a lot when guys come asking around on forums about how to install their new lift. Thanks.

[@austinkleiner3589]

how long does this whole process take for 1 tire? Is it the same process for the back?

[@OzZy-13820]

Also, should totally replace the shocks if you plan to actually wheel it. If it's simply a road queen then...I'd still replace the shocks to make up the difference, just the right way of doing it. Not hating, just saying. I have a 99 with a iron rock off road 3 inch and a 00 with a 2" puck lift but on both the shocks have also been changed

[@bradlane9461]

Since you have both would you say the Iron Rock is worth the extra $?

[@OzZy-13820]

Could've saved a step by simply compressing the spring in the first place before putting the compressors on. Instead of lowering it, putting compressors on then jacking it up again to compress the spring.

[@charlietreleaven8283]

Do you have cv or u joints? Asking cuz was about to buy rough country 2 inch lift comes with shocks too but in the website says not to use with awd they told me i would have to change my cv axels with u joint axels wondering if u had any problems

[@FastestIntegra]

I has CV axles. My WJ has been great with it's 2" lift. From what I'm told and from all the wheeling I've done in my Jeep. A 2'' lift should not require anything. I've read that you only need to start replacing other thing's is when you lift it 4 or more inches. That being said, My WJ has 219,000 miles the front CV axles are bad now after 4,000 miles mostly off road since the 2" lift. I want to blame that on doing Donuts in mud and snow, not under normal driving.

[@joelc4879]

I was confused, what they where talking about was the propeller shaft, just found out some have cv joints and supposedley thats what is not recommended but thankfully i looked under my wj and has the double cardan u joint driveshaft so i will be getting the 2 inch lift only bad thing also found some leaking from pinion seal while i was down there. Did u buy a new steering stabilizer with the lift?

Mine is a Supreme suspension, basically the same thing. Why did you cut the rubber nipple off the isolator?

[@jeremynelson541]

I see now. Disregard

After lifting 2 inches my JGC WJ developed a death wobble. No problem with yours?

[@FastestIntegra]

No death wobble and I have been doing a lot of 4 Wheeling with it and it's still good.

[@jcalvaradof]

One question: Is the shock absorber the same as the original one or did you change it for a longer one?

[@FastestIntegra]

You could use the stock shock absorbers for up to 2 inch after that you need a longer shock

Shouldn't the puck be on top?

[@bentlee6816]

I'm looking to do the same to my jeep and i have some questions for ya. 1.Did you have replace other parts like brake lines or sway bars? 2.How are the coil spaces working out for you/ have you had any trouble with them. 3.Did you get exactly 2" of lift? more or less? And does you'r jeep sit even after lift was installed. sorry for so many question. great video by the way!

[@FastestIntegra]

1. You don't need to replace anything with the 2" lift 2. It drives like stock and 4wheels even better.  3. I got exactly 2" front and rear. Watch the beginning and the end of the video for the before and after pics.

[@bentlee6816]

Neato! Now, what are "jounce bumpers" and where are they installed? Came across this term just today, and wondering if they help with bottoming out issues.

[@codyd.18]

VideoNOLA Jounce bumpers are pretty much exactly what they sound like: small bumpers that prevent your body from bottoming out into your suspension. They're installed behind the spring, under the vehicle.

[@VideoNOLA]

Cody Deitz Thanks. I've since learned that "jounce bumpers" is what some people call "bump stops", which are two large rubber "bricks" that insert into two cups above the front axle. Mine were old and disintegrated (almost missing entirely). Found a cheap pair on eBay and installed 'em ... no more thuds!!

[@leonardocuizapa7203]

I need to change the shocks?

[@kyleishmael6435]

How do you put the back on

[@guadalupe4996]

What size where the tires on your jeep?

[@LeaveItToBeaner]

Hey did they rub before the lift?
