Jeep JL Metalcloak Lift Install 3.5" Game-Changer | Part 1

[@khalilismyname]

I installed the same lift on my JLU but just ordered the front lower drop brackets to fine tune the overall handling.

[@saralou2220]

That's a lot of work brother. Wow

[@YeepLife]

It’s all fun. The beer got me going!

[@Mike-iy7bk]

I feel for you. It’s 90° in the garage and I’m doing the same thing.

[@robertflotsem862]

Right on!

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

excellent

[@JustinJohnson13]

I'm about to do this same lift on mine. You definitely need to invest in some ratchet wrenches. It would make your life so much easier.

[@MrXxferrasxx]

The most import tool, is the beer 😂😂😂

[@YeepLife]

Of course! Or else there is no motivation to proceed. Ha.

[@azscott31]

Shouldn't the front lower control arms be installed with the joint toward the read? Your driver side has the joint on the axelside

[@Sblack8123]

Yep, installed incorrectly per MC instruction

[@iONsOffroad]

Are you in Hawaii ? I’m here now for 2 months we come for winters we travel all over the US off-roading

[@YeepLife]

No. I am in the mainland. Southern CA.

[@terraformingcats8175]

Should you not torque down the control arms until the Jeep is back under its own weight? The bushings will bind up.

[@Mike-iy7bk]

Read up on Metalcloak bushings.

[@curtholwell]

I noticed you flipped the lower control arms, so the jam nuts are on the frame and not the axle, is this the correct orientation?

[@YeepLife]

Per instructions from MC, it is the correct orientation.

[@Sblack8123]

Might want to go back and read the instructions again.. per their website.. “Install the Front Lower Control Arms so that the adjustable joint is in the rear.”

[@YeepLife]

Ha. Yup, totally got that from Mr. Dufresne.

[@fishing_with_ryan2416]

Did you have any issues getting your upper control arms to line up?

[@YeepLife]

I dont recall. But i dont think so.

[@sangchu3008]

Can you help me install lift

[@YeepLife]

Did you have a particular question?

[@sangchu3008]

Do they stock lift kit or they have to order it

[@YeepLife]

They can order it for you, and arrive within a week. They don’t have readily available.
