Jeep JL Wrangler 2.5" Lift Kit How to Installation - EVO Stage 4 Boost w/Control Arms : JL JOURNAL

[@vgullotta]

Man, EVO really has their lifts made so well, you can always see just how well they've thought of everything. That trick with the duct tape and the wrench to hold the nut in place, that is awesome, I'm so using that in the future. Great video!

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Glad to hear I was able to share one of my many tricks :)

[@RyeinGoddard]

Hey, Wayalife, your link doesn't show the same kit you used. Can you link the other parts? I am trying to put 37 inch tires on my rig.

[@trailrunnah8886]

What a difference 2.5" makes! (that's what she said!) That thing looks like a beat now. Great wheel choice, too. Also, great install video! A lot of times I find these boring to watch, or lacking information. Yours was just right, informative enough to get the whole scope of the job without feeling dragged out. Good tips on using the duct tape to hold the nut to the wrench, and turning the steering wheel to align the track bar. I've used both in the past when working on my old ZJ. Also, if tape isn't handy, grease will work, and even I've even used a piece of gum, haha. Only thing I would really do differently is put anti-seize on EVERY SINGLE BOLT that I removed/replaced. Maybe not so important where you live, but in New England where I am it could mean the difference between getting the bolt out trouble free next time, or breaking it. I use that stuff on EVERYTHING.

[@Sh1nrin_Yoku]

EXCELLENT job man! Really well done. You broke down every little detail so that even a novice like me can follow it. I still won't, but you've inspired me. Lol, I'l just leave it to the pros.

The best part about putting in a new lift is finding out you cant back out of the garage because your to tall lol. Happened to me on a 4.5" lift. I had to air down and roll out with flat tires.

I love getting the notifications when one of your videos come up!! what a great step by step video!

[@wayalife]

[@supercharged00gtp]

Wow...it's beautiful!!! Jet Li is one bad ass looking JL now! The JL is really growing on me even if a Rubicon isn't in the budget...Seems like the new JL Sport and Sahara are a bit more beefy than the JK.

[@wayalife]

Oh yeah, the Sports and Saharas are real nice too :)

[@sep4242]

since u didn't put on 40s and a taller lift... what trails are u going to avoid ? or "bypass" ?... Iv'e watched your videos for many years and you, your wife and Mel Wade have been inspirational in my life of wheeling... btw the quality in your filming is top notch ! :)

[@wayalife]

Thank you. It's hard to say what trails we can or can't do yet being that we've just recently installed this lift. Guess we'll just have to find out :)

[@lolomg4969]

ITS ALWAY GOOD TO HAVE A GOOD LAWYER, BONDMAN AND A MECHANIC.

[@joshbrown7783]

Awesome content. It looked as though some areas may be better to place the Zerc fittings down. New subscriber here. I'm itching for a jeep and still a die hard Toyota fan. Builds like this might make me pull the trigger on at least a jk. Keep up the awesome vids.

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Well sure, it'd make it easier to grease but it'd also make it easier for rocks to knock them right off too. The ONLY zerk that's near impossible to get to point up is the front lower arm at the axle mount and there are ways to deal with that. ALL the others can be reached.

[@brandoncassidy807]

I love your JL. Its truly BADASS!

[@wayalife]

Thank you, so glad to hear it :)

[@supersportimpalass]

@2:18 that little tube of anti-sieze gave me a pretty good chuckle. Better to get an 8oz bottle with a brush. That tube is barely enough for the threads on one joint.

[@wayalife]

LOL - it's what I had at the time. I normally have a bottle with brush but ran out.

[@supersportimpalass]

@@wayalifeI know what you mean. Love your videos btw. I'm curious how your KMC wheels and 37" tires are doing? I was looking at getting the same style wheels and have 35's at the moment but might step up to 37's in the future. I'm a little afraid of the offset being too small and the tires rubbing. They sell the XD232 but the 3.5" offset seems like it will make the tires stick out more than I might like. Brad from Trail Recon is using KMC's with that offset and they don't look too bad in his videos on his JK. Do you have any issues with rubbing? It seems the smaller back spacing is more common than the 4.75". Any comments are greatly appreciated!

[@wayalife]

​@@supersportimpalass I installed these on a JL Rubicon and NOT a JK. That means my axles are 68" wide and that's a whole 2.5" wider than a JK. It is because of this that I purposefully went with these wheels as I WANTED more back spacing and knew I would NOT have rubbing issues. Heck, on a JK, factory wheels have 6.25" of back spacing and you can still clear most 37's with 4"-4.5" of back spacing. While less back spacing can help prevent rubbing with big tires, it WILL cause things like your ball joints and unit bearings to fail prematurely and will negatively affect your scrub radius. Not really that big of of a deal I suppose but I'm just trying to provide factual information rather than just tell you what wheels to get.

[@supersportimpalass]

@@wayalife I did know they went on a JL but didn't realize the axles are that much wider than the JK. I should have researched that info but assumed they were the same. My current wheels are 17x9 with a 4.5 backspace so a 1/4 difference isn't going to make any difference with the same size tire but definitely will if I go up to 37's. Thanks again for the great info and videos!

[@goolemartin]

Superbe travail bien fait j’adore 👍 très bien la JL vive les usa 🇺🇸

[@series9193]

You’ve given the most detailed install on the JL and given great impressions on the vehicle before the lift. I’m probably jumping the gun but what are your thoughts on road/offroad with the lift, 37” tires and beadlocks? Also do you feel a need to regear? I see no one has advanced that idea as yet and do you think there will be a need to replace driveshafts ball joints etc. ? Thanx

[@wayalife]

I appreciate it. Regarding our new 37's, they are load range E and are firmer than the factory tires which were load range C. I really want to run them at a lower psi to soften things up but that causes the TPMS warning light to come on. Off road, these Cooper STT Pros hook up amazingly well especially on the rocks. So far, I have not felt a need to regear and this after driving out to Moab and wheeling there. As far as drive shafts and ball joints go, I think it's too soon to say when that will be needed.

[@mikemiller1502]

Another Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@wayalife]

So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Maxdady01]

The Best. Thanks Eddie. P.S. Get some mechanics gloves next time :)

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@roberthein2156]

Maxdady01 , nitrile gloves are good with chemicals, old school with nuts ,bolts, no gloves.

[@larrymartin8511]

I’m sure you have watch the new JL being built at the factory and all. My question is when they deck the body to the completed chassis, it now has most of its weight installed. Do you think they do a final torque on the track bar bushings and control arms, and if they don’t maybe that’s a failure new owners are having with maybe death wobble and other erratic suspension problems. Should the dealer loosen up all those components and re torque to factory specifications

[@acecalzadilla6878]

Excellent vid. Subscribed!!

[@wayalife]

Thank you.

[@mkbmj]

Great instruction, great video quality. May I ask why you opted for spacers instead of new springs, brake lines, and shocks? I would love see a 2dr with 3.5" and BP51 bypass shocks.

[@wayalife]

To the best of my knowledge, there are no coils available at this time. Likewise, there are no shocks that I know of that have been valved for this JL. Brake lines aren't needed with this setup.

[@adam_gonzz]

JL looks nice lifted. would take me forever to installed it. Plus I suck at putting stuff together. I’ll be missing a lot of pieces. If I hand a Jeep, I would pay you to help me install it. That way I can learn.

[@wayalife]

LOL!! This video and my write-up should help you to do it right. :)

[@bp30656]

Looks amazing!!

[@MasterEggroll]

I have a silver rubicon waiting for me but this white is making me second guess myself haha

[@wayalife]

LOL - Silver is a great color too :)

[@hhiser6206]

spend a couple a bucks and get more than a sample tube of antiseze, and I think I would also use some red and blue thread locker. Evencually I would get propper length shocks and springs. What size were the tires 37's ??? Anyway nice job.

[@4everjeeper]

ok dang it I want a new jl rubicon now, just when I finally got me a used jkur now I want a new jl, good thing I cant afford one right now, maybe a used one in bout 4 years

[@wayalife]

LOL!! The JL's are really nice.

[@JRene6269]

Hi. Would you ever do a 2.5 leveling kit? Front and rear. -Coil spring spacers -Shock relocation brackets -Sway bar links -bump stops This will go on a jeep wrangler unlimited sport 4 door just to drive around town. Please let me know. Thanks a lot. Love the videos.

[@wayalife]

For how much you'll pay and for how much work it will be to do this, I would much rather do this instead kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqmUqIVoopqmgdU

[@JRene6269]

Thank you so much. I'll definitely take your advice. Keep up the great work. A lot of support from Glendora, California.

[@brn0520]

It would be nice if aftermarket companies used metric too so you don't have to keep going back and forth between SAE and Metric the whole time you are upgrading your suspension.

[@wayalife]

LOL! Honestly, I'd have to say that I agree with you here. I think it's a cost issue.

[@advapp]

Just installed the kit, the lift only no CAs.Very well made but overpriced IMO. It's 3 times as much as Rough Country's lift for something I'll just toss when Evo's coilovers is released. If I did it again I would get the RC 2.5" lift and the Evo shock brackets.

[@westonmavis6566]

For me the rear shocks look like crap. Get longer shocks. But I really like that you switched out control arms, but I don't understand not recommending an alignment, to fix camber and caster.

[@wayalife]

Not sure what there's to get. Jeeps come with solid front axles and there is no camber to adjust. Caster is super easy to do yourself and at home for free and ONLY IF you have adjustable control arms. Toe will not change due to the tie rod not being connected to the drag link. Aside from recentering your steering wheel, there really isn't much a shop can do aside from taking your money.

[@groberts1980]

Great video! Why not go ahead and install quick disconnect sway bar links? At least up front? Also when is the 37" spare going on the back?

[@wayalife]

LOL!! This is a Rubicon and it comes with an electronic sway bar disconnect. Manual disconnects are not needed. I would never disconnect the rears. 37 is on the tailgate now. :)

[@groberts1980]

Dammit. I forget things. :-)

[@손정민-j3f]

Awesome I like to off road

[@philipjosephcruz6878]

great video all d time..

[@wayalife]

Thank you

[@jbanime6]

Do you have to remove the front end of the lower control arms to get to the zerks for greasing? I have the same Evo LCAs and I see a hole above but not right over the zerks.

[@brianhopkins1848]

I know this doesn't pertain to the video, but is there already a protective coating on the underside of the JL in regards to salt on the roads in colder climates? Or do you plan on applying a protective coating to the underside?

[@wayalife]

We live in the desert and don't have corrosion issues. We won't be using anything on our JL.

[@danbouffard8194]

would be nice to see they 3.5 complete lift kit installed maybe on a 09 jeep wrangler jk

[@wayalife]

This series is the "JL" Journal - NOT the "JK". That being said, we have tons of write-ups for the JK here: wayalife.com/showthread.php/29935-Jeep-JK-Wrangler-Write-Up-Index

[@alejandrotovar7831]

Loved the video!! Just one question, why did you make it a point to put the grease fittings facing up? Wouldn’t they be easier to access facing down?

[@wayalife]

Sure it would be easier to have them facing down - easier for rocks to mash them off too. Can't grease a joint if there's no zerk to grease them from.

[@alejandrotovar7831]

Wayalife, oh okay looking at it that way makes a lot more sense! Thank you! Love every single one of your videos by the way!!

[@NigelNaughton]

Super helpful...and I don't even own a Jeep ;-) (LandCruiser 80) Yes, anti-seize is your friend but man that stuff gets everywhere. You didn't want to use it on all the bolts that came off for the drag link, etc?

[@wayalife]

We live in a desert and probably could have gotten away with not using any antiseize on anything. That being said, the control arms can be a pain to work on in the future and being that they were new and off the Jeep, adding some now seemed like a good idea.

[@toHelluRide]

Awesome video. Off topic but will you be changing gears in the diffs and if so what will you be installing? Thanks.

[@wayalife]

To the best of my knowledge, there are no gears available at this time. That being said, the 8-speed auto does a great job of pushing these 37's and if we do re-gear, we'll most likely go with a lower ratio than what we ran on our JK's. On our JK's, 5.13's is what we would have wanted with 37's but 4.88 might be a better fit with the JL. I think we'll need to do more testing before I could say for sure.

[@olivermontalvo1590]

excelente tu vídeo, cual kit me recomiendas para mi XK, Jeep commander 4.7l 4x4 limited, que modelo sería, tambien quiero llantas 35", muchas gracias.

[@mrchams]

Where do you get the JL torque specs from ? Great tutorial by the way

[@wayalife]

Factory service manual

[@bella1340]

I know you swapped up. And it looks great. But what did you think about the stock KO2's? I had them on my 2001 Cherokee and loved them. I'm jonesing for a new JLUR and love the vids. Thx!

[@wayalife]

They were a comfortable tire that did well on most terrain.

[@omarramirez2335]

Why is the Metalcloak 2.5” require front driveshaft does this Evo 2.5” require new driveshaft ?

[@wayalife]

Probably because their lift yields way more lift than 2.5". That's typical with most spring lifts and the extra height will put your front driveshaft CV boot in a constant state of pinch. Over time, this will cause it to fail sooner than later. This EVO lift is just a spacer lift and so, you will get exactly 2.5" of lift out of it. I should note though that spacer lifts are just a more affordable way to get a lift and not necessarily better way.

[@brandoncassidy807]

Do you have any re-gearing vids? or be willing to make one?

[@wayalife]

Unlike the JK before, with 4.10 gears and 37's, I have yet to feel a need to regear.

[@brandoncassidy807]

That's killer. I must have a new JL then!!!! Your Jet Li is bad A!!

[@brettbarnes373]

I would love to know what you paid including the tires and rims?

[@dexxydoo]

Im surprised that some fabrication was needed. Like drilling extra holes. Are most lift kits like that?

[@wayalife]

Actually, yes. Most lift kits do have some drilling involved. Granted, if you just got new shocks, no drilling would have been required.

[@dexxydoo]

Impressive vid.

[@1dumpedviper]

I wonder how many inches of lift you're going to need to run 40's and when those lifts will be out?

[@wayalife]

You can almost do it with this 2.5" of lift. It all depends on how much trimming and bump stop extension you're willing to run.

[@roamwithdanny]

Great video! Sorry, I'm new to all this, but you removed the front sway bar links? What replaced it?

[@wayalife]

You need to watch the video to the end. The factory rear links get installed up front.

[@phlydude]

Zerk fittings pointed up? Doesn't that make them nearly impossible to get to (without unbolting them) to re-grease?

[@wayalife]

Better to be hard to get to than to be non-existent due to the fact that rocks have mashed them off on the trail.

[@phlydude]

OK, I wondered if that was the case - here in Florida, not many rocks to worry about coming in contact with the underside of a vehicle :)

[@stealtheli]

looks Great

[@wayalife]

Thank you :)

[@cupra79]

Eddie great job love your videos could you let me know how high the Jeep stands with this setup to see if it will fit my garage. Best JJ

[@wayalife]

To the top of the windshield, we measure about 75". To the highest point on the hard top, more like 77". A soft top would have a higher point.

[@cupra79]

Eddie thanks a lot your the man!!!!!

[@gonzaloacosta7698]

Hello there, Thanks for the video. I'd like to know if the kit stage 1 is all I need to lift my Sahara.

[@wayalife]

I suppose it depends on how big of a tire you're wanting to run.

[@ksockhak]

Are the Rubicon stock suspension decent? Or do you recommend getting a lift with new suspensions?

[@wayalife]

Unless you're wanting to go bigger, there's no need for a new suspension lift. A Stock Rubicon suspension is great! Most companies try to use it as a standard and work hard to get close to it. But, if you're asking in regards to a coil spacer lift like this, the lift will compromise the quality of your ride.

[@ksockhak]

@@wayalife your insight and knowledge is a blessing for us new jeep owners specially me, thanks for putting out such great contents!

[@XwXCHADWICKYXwX]

Prolly a dumb question but was there any "death wobble" or balancing issues with this set up? I've never owned beadlocks but now have a JLUR and am looking at the 37s and beadlocks combo. Great videos man 🖒 Also I just realised this is on the wrong video, been watching them back to back

[@wayalife]

Death wobble is a symptom of loose or worn out steering and/or suspension components. This is a brand new Jeep and I'd like to think that I'm meticulous. Needless to say, no, we had no death wobble.

[@XwXCHADWICKYXwX]

Wayalife True, you're definitely very detailed. Love the set up and thanks for the response. Now all I got left to do is order them up.

[@ChasingDreamsLivingLife]

what size 37's and what size wheels with what backspacing?

[@wayalife]

In this video, you're looking at 37x13.50s and on KMC XD231 wheels that have 4.5" of back spacing.

[@roberthein2156]

Must be getting old, to say this: ANOTHER EXCITING VIDEO, ON PUTTING IN A 2 1/2" KIT. HOW LONG,(TIME WISE) ,DID IT TAKE? CONSIDER DOING THIS FOR A LIVING?

[@wayalife]

LOL!! Filming everything makes everything take 4x longer to install but I was still able to get this done in 2 days just working a few hours at a time. Without filming, I could do the whole install in about 4-5 hours.

[@roberthein2156]

Thanks for the back imput, I see you do this by trade. Possible to show you doing someone else's vehicle. Or maybe working directly with a dealer, doing there after market add on?

[@Sketchy_Doodles]

So what is the second whole on the rear shock mount for? Is it for longer shocks?

[@wayalife]

Are you referring to the factory shock mount? If so, we installed a relocation bracket so that we could still use the factory shock. If we were to install a new longer shock, we would remove the bracket and just use the factory mount.

[@lance4906]

Pardon me, but would you know / describe what kind of bolt is used for the trackbar, specifically, the one connected to the chassis? I've heard (from Allpar) that in the JK, the one they used was a threaded bolt which did not do wonders for the bushing and the chassis, and was also not of the correct size. Did this change in the JL?

[@wayalife]

LOL!! There are over 2 MILLION JK's on the road today. If Jeep really were using the wrong kind of bolts for the track bar, I would think you'd be hearing a lot more about it instead of just on an online magazine. Think about this for a second - when you hold a glass of water in your hand, NO bolts are required to keep it from falling, why is that?

[@lance4906]

It's more of a forum for owners than an "online magazine" as you put it, and quite a few owners there said one of the easier mods to help stave off death wobble is to replace that bolt with a smooth one. As to why we don't hear much about it, same reason the common person doesn't hear much about death wobble - it only happens in the most extreme of cases. To your latter question, I believe the answer is friction. Now, about my question, how are the trackbar bolts on the JL, vs the JK?

[@ambrose.little]

Beauteous. How tall is it now with the lift and wheels?

[@wayalife]

To the top of the windshield frame, about 75"

[@Princess-zf8vm]

What price?

[@stevewihl4120]

I’m gonna be buying my first Wrangler in September. Is a 2 1/2 lift with shocks gonna run into the same rubbing issues?

[@wayalife]

It will if you run 37" tires.

[@RogerJG21]

Hi is this a 2.5" lift with 17" rims and 35" tires?

[@wayalife]

37" tires.

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

What's the difference between the black shocks and the red shocks on the J l's Factory

[@wayalife]

The black shocks are what come standard on non-Rubicon Wranglers. The red ones come on Rubicon. The pressure and valving on the reds are a bit firmer.

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

@Wayalife what one will ride better on road and off road and What about Fox shocks are rough country

[@wayalife]

Ride quality is 100% subjective. What I like, you may not and vice versa. That said, the Rubicon shocks were made for the Rubicon coils and they offer a firmer ride. Maybe, more sports car like. The non-Rubicon shocks are made for softer coils and they offer more of a plush ride but less responsive off road. Fox shocks are well made shocks and Rough Country offers just an average but neither by themselves are made specifically for the coils on your Jeep.

[@jamieeisenhower1560]

@Wayalife Sahara 4XE has black shocks does a red shocks in prove all Ride capabilities And as the stock shocks on the Jeep J l's are they mono Our Twin tube And does the mono shocks improve all Performance

[@wayalife]

@@jamieeisenhower1560 I don't know if I'd say that the red shocks "improve" things, just that they offer a firmer ride. Aftermarket monotube shocks will just do a much better job of preventing fade when driving hard and fast across the desert. The downside to them is that they're typically firmer on pavement. But, a lot of people prefer that kind of ride.

[@MrManic52001]

Can you do a review of the rear seat?

Rear seat? As in, how does it feel or something?

@@wayalife leg room, Sorry.

[@socalusc]

I know you wheel hard. How capable would you say this jeep is at this stage (without any other major mods)? Also, 37s on the stock tire carrier ok with the JL? How does it drive at Highway speeds? Considering getting back into jeep but dont want to break the bank on aftermarket stuff.

Hard to say how capable it is until we get a chance to push it to it's limits. We'll post up what we find :) As far as the tire carrier goes, no, it will not fit with the factory bumper unless you install some kind of riser bracket. So far, I've driven this thing at 85 MPH - it's great.

Like your build and they way u install film and explains are awesome. Why u choose evo 2.5 lift or rubber spacer lift thats kinda cheap. I got wrangler jl wanna put rubicon’s lift kit with 2.5 lift is it possible?

[@wayalife]

It was the only thing available at the time. We are now running coilovers. And yes, you can run a 2.5" lift.

[@daljindersandhu2728]

But i like the the evo better because it mounted lwith frame its not loose or something don’t need to worry with evo. And yes still need to check your rest of videos for sure. Just had question no one wanna talk about it that if i take rubicon lift and add spacer lift it will be a good idea?

How do you know what to adjust your control arms too?

[@wayalife]

With a lift this small, you can pretty much set them to what stock length is and call it a day. Any additional adjustment to the lower arms would be minimal at most, maybe 1/4". Uppers need to be set as needed for proper caster up front and proper pinion angle in the rear.
