Cannot wait to lift mine. Eventually... 😞I'm a min. wage working kid and it takes a while to save...about half way there

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

+Sir Nippleton McSugarteets been there, I worked two jobs just to build stuff before.

[@tomthatcher3444]

What is the bracket that bolts onto the top of the rear differential, 2 of the 3 bolts broke in the axle and the bracket bent..thanks

[@dominiccavasso6064]

What wheels are you running? I have stock now, but I don't like how it looks tucked underneath the fenders. I am not going to use wheels spacers as I have seen two of my friends have failures. Great production on the video by the way!

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

DDOM W wheels in this video we're just 15x8s, I ran a 5x5 pattern to a 5x4.5 pattern adaptor on this jeep. I don't like the idea of wheel spacers or adapters but I've ran a couple different sets put many miles on them and lots of rough wheeling I haven't had the first failure yet, if you have to run some make sure they are tight and recheck them after a 100 miles or so. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@brianbolinsky]

Thank you so much for this video it's so hard to find videos for wjs which I think you know and this was so helpful!!! Do you have a Instagram?

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

Brian B thanks Brian glad you liked the video! Yes I'm on Instagram @HighOctaneFilms

[@BPV-22]

HIGH OCTANE FILMS did you have to extend brake line or anything like that

[@MustAccord]

I have the same lift kit on mine and had to replace the fwd driveshaft as the OEM was not surviving this lift. I am using a carolina driveshaft now. Did you get the transfer case drop kit separatey?

[@HighOctaneVideo]

Yes the transfercase drop came with the kit, the stock CV style driveshaft will not work with this much lift due to the drive angle but I had already swapped in the Ujoint style front driveshaft when I got the Jeep.

[@jonasharvey8390]

Thank you for the video!!

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

You’re welcome

[@jonasharvey8390]

@@HIGHOCTANEFILMS I watched your video before and been looking into lift kits the past few months. Today after watching your video again I ordered the same kit! Really excited!! Thanks again!!

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

@@jonasharvey8390 awesome man, I miss that Jeep it rode nice.

[@druej3709]

Just curious . Where did u get your front bumper ? I just bought an 02' grand cherokee laredo witch is a wj i believe and im looking for something like yours to replace my front bumper . Thanks!

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

That’s the factory front end with the plastic bumper cut off the grill and the grill reinstalled. I would definitely recommend a after market front bumper with radiator protection, scrapped mine a few times lucky I didn’t damage it.

[@alpha2762]

You can put a light bar inside the grill in the wj I did my

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

Alpha omega kool

[@kevinclevenger8741]

I no this is a 5 year old video .but just wondering if you still have the wj .how is the lift holding up

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

No sorry I don’t, the 4.7 timing chain skipped or let loose, time I had it it rode very nice on and Offroad.

[@JoshRD]

Whats the wheel and tire size? Looks awesome

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

15x8 wheel 31" tire, thanks for watching and commenting!

[@tabmiller5360]

By any chance do you know how much offset your wheels have?

[@ingenieritotkt]

What's the cost to put it on...i sow a place in San Diego but Lost adress

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

ingenieritotkt paying a shop would be expensive, about 8-10 hours at a shop rate. Labor probably cost as much as the lift itself.

[@seadoo_detroit]

Do you need anything else besides lift......as in drive shaft ect....

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

i don't think so, i already had converted the front shaft from a cv style to ujoints.

[@songkran9817]

I want to lift my jeep but I don't know should I do it myself or let someone do it for me? And it's it hard to do it yourself?

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

It depends on how well you can work on stuff it's always easier to have a friend help if you wanted to do it yourself, if its not your daily driver i'd say take the time to lift one so you'll have the know how, if it's your daily driver you might want to contact a local shop for help. I hope this helps. where are you located?

[@songkran9817]

HIGH OCTANE FILMS I'm live in Illinois

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

I don't know of any shops in that state.

[@songkran9817]

HIGH OCTANE FILMS ok, thanks for replying! :)

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

no prob, hope I was helpful.

[@ttener]

How is this lift holding up?

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

Sold this Jeep a few years ago.

[@AlienWithACamera]

what are the specs of the wheels and tires

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

wheels are 15x8 American racing black d-spoke, and tires are 31x10.5-15R hopefully going to a 32 or 33" tire sometime soon.

[@IWNTYU]

you'll have to cut fenders to fit 33's

[@frederickjimenez9234]

Does your 15" rims got cleared from calipers without the spacer?

[@ar1913]

How’s the ride quality

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

Was great, was Like having a 4wd Cadillac, I miss that Jeep.

[@ar1913]

@@HIGHOCTANEFILMS how the ride quality when driving over 70 mph on the freeway?

[@TheYamaha37]

who put the manual lock out hubs on that?

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

Those are the hub caps that come with American racing wheels

[@TheYamaha37]

HIGH OCTANE FILMS Oh ok. i couldnt tell if they were actually lock out hubs or not. i knew something was right about it but the more i looked, the more it looked like actual lock outs. Are the meant to kinda look like lock out hubs? cause they do look similar, from a distance anyway.

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

+DespisesTheCorruptUsGovn no they aren't meant to look like lockouts, they are just the hubcaps that came with the wheels. Lockouts on these new style front ends would be nice

[@TheYamaha37]

HIGH OCTANE FILMS they sure would. im sure you could convert maybe. my uncle has a 94 ford ranger 4x4 baja model with step side bed with push button 4x4 & the hubs kept slipping for some reason so he took them out and put manual lock outs on it and it worked just fine after that. i didnt think it would work, & i thought he was lying to me until i seen it for myself. his 4x4 works perfect now. so maybe there is a way to convert to manual locks out. it would help where jeeps are all-time 4wd most of the time anyway.

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

+DespisesTheCorruptUsGovn with this style front end it would be more cost effective to upgrade to a older Dana 44 it'll be wider be stronger and cheaper, and come with lockouts.

[@pathogan1137]

is it awd?

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

Yes it's full time 4wd

[@codyjones2397]

Do you "have" to alter the drive line to lift it the 4 inches

[@pathogan1137]

is that a wj?

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

Yes it is a 99 WJ

[@pathogan1137]

+HIGH OCTANE FILMS all time wheel drive? or is it a true 4x4?

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

+Patrick Hogan its full time 4wd

[@IWNTYU]

very cool video guys. I installed the 4' rc long arm on my WJ but need to change the front drive shaft. you can look at it on my Facebook page "WJ 4x4 offroad" check it out.

[@HIGHOCTANEFILMS]

+Mario Martinez thanks Mario! Yes I swapped the front drive shaft when I got the WJ, when we lifted it we didn't have any issues there.

[@yoyoking77]

Mario Martinez what drive shaft did you get? Cause I have the NV247 t-case (Quadra-drive)

[@IWNTYU]

actually my front drive shaft is a double cardan so there was no need to change it unless I go higher on the lift. but I do need to change my rear drive shaft because it doesn't stretch longer when I flex on rocks. high chances that might bend the rear chaft one day, and if I do I'll swap it

[@IWNTYU]

soon I will be changing my tc to a TC242hd with a slip yoke eliminator and to new drive shafts
