The shock piston shaft has a hex cut at the top for holding while tightening the nut. DO NOT USE VICE GRIPS OR PLIERS ON THE SHAFT. Damage to the shaft will cut the dirt seal.

Added this kit, vibration started in ride so needed to add Rugged Ridge NP231 Transfer case SYE kit and new rough country CV rear driveshaft to fit the 4 inch left THEN went ahead replaced front Driveshaft heavy duty $eris 1310 CV with grease able u-joints and Rough Country transfer case drop kit for 4 to 6 inch lift! Overall a very nice look on 35 tires. Rough Country is for a person who won't be wheeling seriously and just wants a great aggressive look. My 2001 Sahara never looked so good!

This exact same lift I ordered didn't come with any instructions in any of the boxes the lift came in. Glad this video was done.

[@extremeterrain]

Thanks for watching and we're happy to help out! -Zach

This video makes me think I can do this myself, but nightmares of rusty/broken bolts makes me think otherwise 😂

[@wisetow10]

That was so easy. I’m going to get my wife to throw one on our jeep tomorrow after dinner real quick.

[@maggieupdike9147]

Love how the nails are holding up!

[@cotilla1984]

Thanks for the information, I ready by the kit for my Jeep 1997.

What was the Rear Upper Control Arms measurements? I didn't see it in the video?

[@maintenance96]

After a year of a complete frame replacement rebuild I'm at the point of driving it. You definitely want to do a SYE to have better drive line angle. Which a year ago I was asking for the rear upper control arm measurements. By using adjustable control arms, you need a angle finder and adjust your upper arms so the drive shaft is almost a straight shot into the rear diff. Check out this video and it will explain/show you exactly what is needed done to have the correct pinion angle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJi3lmN8nLiisK8

The music's great and all but so loud it gets annoying after a while

[@Super_overland]

Just finished installing this and the instructions were garbage. I installed there 2.5 inch lift with the x series control arms. The pre alignment were way off had series vibrations on the way to the alignment shop. After watching this video they specified the same pre alignment measurement for my 2.5 lift as the 4 inch lift you installed which doesn’t make sense. Also one of the boxes where damaged and was missing the track bar bracket just received it Friday after waiting 10 days for it. Lost two weekends of wheeling.

Would brake line extensions be required with this lift kit. Great video thanks

[@extremeterrain]

They're definitely recommended! -Zach

[@BladeDreams]

Thank you very informative and detailed ! : )

[@briananderson3620]

Could you plug weld instead of drilling and bolting?

[@LamontBoucherville]

Hi Extreme terrain.....will this work on the TJ unlimited aka jeep LJ?

[@extremeterrain]

This kit is specifically put together for TJ models only, I would highly recommend looking into a kit specific for your LJ to ensure fitment and the best performance possible. -Zach

[@kkim1177]

Just bought this. but i'm going to slap 37 inch tires on it

[@extremeterrain]

Good luck! You may need the help of trimming or aftermarket fender flares though. -Zach

[@LV_Arty]

No upper control arms measurements?

[@dirtysanchez754]

Right? Rear upper measurement? Same as the front?

[@cotilla1984]

What tire and wheels you can recommend for this lifting?

[@extremeterrain]

At 4" of lift, you're looking at comfortably fitting a set of 33" tires! Or you could look into aftermarket high-clearance fender flares to fit a set of 35" tires, but you won't have as much room for articulation then if you plan on going off-road. As for wheels, most aftermarket 16x8s or 15x8s will come with appropriate backspacing out-of-the-gate so you won't have to worry about rubbing. -Zach

I run 15” mammoth 8 beadlock rims, 33x12.5 dick cepteks

[@michaelmack5776]

what is the measurement for the upper rear control arm ??

[@knbobick]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@Loader2012]

Please learn to use an adjustable wrench correctly before you get hurt. Never put the pressure on the adjustable jaw. I’m half way through your video and you’ve use the wrench the wrong way consistently. When you have the pressure on the adjustable jaw, the weakest part of the wrench, and it pops, you will be looking at busted knuckles at a minimum. We were drilled about this over and over in school!

2 words. Torque specs.

You need coveralls 🙂

[@extremeterrain]

Would love a good set!! Thanks for watching!! -Merideth

[@Lees706]

Would rather pay someone to install. Way over my mechanical skills.
