We finally did it! We lifted our Jeep Wrangler JKU 3 inches, and we could not be happier with the way the Motofab kit went in, as well as the new ground clearance for not much coin! We love it! We hope you enjoy this step by step DIY install guide. As you have seen, not all installs go smoothly, but this was the gold standard. Everything dropped right into place. Having done this once, we could do it again in under 3 hours for all 4 corners. Pretty awesome. Anyways, here are some links as promised: Jeep drives like Original, which was huge for us. Don't forget to enter our headlight giveaway! Cheers!

@@Garagecouple yup, i had it happen with my 2.5' teraflex lift and 35" tires. Def a common issue, once you go up an inch or two in lift kits, that CV boot will give and the bearings in the front drive shaft will start to make cracking and popping noises because the OEM shaft isn't designed to run daily in that angle. Best thing is to get new drive shafts with yokes on each end and ditch the OEM CV setup. Curious to see how the spacer kit will work. It adds more bolt tie-in's which I myself am weary of bc it creates more points of stress and failure. Hopefully you guys don't experience that.

@@markmissildine961 you will have to take a measurement of the driveshaft length after putting on the lift and have someone make you one. It can be done with or without the existing driveshaft in if the height of the lift allows. My fix for the moment was getting another OEM driveshaft from someone who had one in their garage until I can afford to have one made and ditch the CV joints and go with something a bit more robust.

Hey Guys, Great video. Just a little hint/tip, any time you are changing things with the suspension, it is much much easier if you loosen the control arm bolts and remove 1 bolt from the track bar. that will allow your axle to be much more flexable and give you more travel without fighting against you. The arms and track bar are holding the axles in place when they are tight. Besides, you should always loosen the control arms and then re tighten them back up after it is back on the ground with tires so they are not in a bind from the old ride height before the lift. Make sense? Keep up the good work... I still think Jerry was going to pick me.... :-)

Thank you so much for that pro tip. I will make a note of it and do that next time we do anything suspension for the rigs. I appreciate you taking the time to add that...

@@Garagecouple Well, I'm no pro by any means, but I have been wrenching on Jeeps and the like for a little over 40 years now and I have learned a few things along the way by busting knuckles and smashing fingers... So, that was WAY before this thing called the internet. Early on you just took your best guess at how to do something and try it until you got it done, and then hope you remember how you did it. (To help reduce blood loss the next time) But, like i had said earlier, it would still be a good idea to loosen and then re torque all of your control arms with the Jeep sitting on its wheels. That will relax the bushings and take the preload out of them from adding the spring spacers. Again, you guys keep up the good work. In case you were wondering I presently have a 2005 TJ RUBICON. I've had a couple of JKU RUBICONS, but really keep going back to the TJ's...

Installed on my 2018 JKU. Had to re-center steering wheel slightly. Left front wheel needed slight alignment. Also had to replace the rear track bar with an adjustable one to re-center the body to axel. When installing my new longer rear sway bars, I had to move them to the inside of the mounting brackets to avoid top bolt contact with the wheel. Note: JT gladiator rear sway bars are also mounted on the inside of the brackets.

Also installed track bar relocation bracket that now matches the same elevation mount point of this new drag link flip mount. I currently have 2” lift on the jeep, but now the top part of the track bar relocation bracket is hitting the bottom of the jeeps frame when I hit a bad pot hole or bump.

Question,,,, I have this kit installed. also have a set of JKS Quick Disconnects up front for the swaybar links. Wondering if I did disconnect the links would that front spacer stay put if it gets fully extended going offroad????? Have a trip coming in a few days

Based on my knowled, really this basic Kit will impact in the geometry of your jeep. Using 3" should be required to adjust the Track Bar with a recolocation bracket or well replacing with new adjustable track bar, also is the same issue for Panhard bar. Really I think is better to do this lift work with a complete lift kit.

@@Garagecouple I have to agree with about track bar as well as a few other parts are necessary to make the Jeep stable. I had this installed on my JKU and the steering was all over the place. But then I learned why. Driving it felt like the sway bar was disconnected but it wasn’t. Super scary.
