Glad I live in Arizona everything comes off smooth and easy. Did my first lift on an XJ didnt torque anything to spec and I had that jeep over 8 years before I sold it and never had any issuea.

[@JRMSweeps]

For real. Salt water kills everything down here. Great job on your lift!

[@29gladiator]

One of the best videos this one This one teach me a lot I’m doing the same ty

[@JRMSweeps]

Very welcome be careful and good luck. If i can do it anyone can...

[@tomashton7208]

I installed 2, 1/2 shackles in the front, but I set it up so all the bolts were the same size, I drilled out the sleeves and installed those poly bushings, I installed 2,1/lift spring in the rear, since I raised the rear instead of buying new shocks I lowered the top shock mounts by drilling out the frame, the pervious owner had the front and rear springs mounted of top of the axles, and the front end was all screwed up, I removed the rear track bar and removed the front sway bar. where I live no two jeeps are the same.

[@JRMSweeps]

How did it turn out and what part of the country are u in? Man that lift was a booger to install, given it was my 1st go on one and had to dang near cut everything because of the severe rust on everything.

[@tomashton7208]

WV, the frame had already been welded up where it needed it, it still has the spring perchs welded on top of the axle, I replace the springs with stock in front and 2 and 1/2 in the rear, because the old ones had lost most of the arch.

[@JRMSweeps]

+MirmirYJ not a prob be careful my man.

[@CodyMacRae1]

Good job man, i would have thrown that track bar bracket along with the track bar in the trash though lol leaf spring rigs don’t need track bars

Hey listen, I have a question about your YJ jeep grille and headlights, I was wondering if you have the link to buy?

[@chubboyz8273]

I got a 95 yj I ran into a tree and messed up the passenger front and rear leaf springs and the front shock got messed up abt a year ago and I’m just now fixing to order a 2.5 inch rough country lift I’ll fix that problem with that

[@JRMSweeps]

Several weirdos said that the RC lift is junk. I personally felt a ride difference between it and the pro comp I had. In fact, the RC lift rode much smoother. As far as getting crazy wild with flex, that might be a different story. However, for the money, it's a great product. Good luck my friend!!!

[@toreyarlotti6244]

great vid, do the front shackles straighten out (angle forward) when you line up the leaf spring to the axle?

[@JRMSweeps]

They are the same angle as before i did this lift since it was the same height lift.

[@thecaptainof1976]

This was very helpful. I'm planning to installation a 4" lift on my 93 yj this spring/summer. I've never done anything like that before but you made it look very do-able. By the way, what size tires are those and did you need wheel spacers for them? Thanks!

[@JRMSweeps]

+matt brewster the rims are rockstar xd811 17 inch with 33x12.50x17 nitto grapplers. No wheel spac3rs, but we do get rub at about 90% wheel turn which is no biggie...this is my 1st lift install as well...the front took me about 8 hours lol

[@thecaptainof1976]

JRMSweeps so you actually have room with 17" rims? Wow! I thought I'd be pushing my luck in trying to put 31/10.5s on my 15" rims!

[@trinkladd]

Nice video. But get a set of wrenches, lol.

[@JRMSweeps]

+TilDeath1776 US cmon man. The whole suspension lift was so rusted u couldn’t even get a wrench on a but since it was rusted completely 🤦‍♂️

[@kermityup5192]

Did you install a transfer case drop bracket? How did the vibrations do? I ordered my lift about a week ago and Im waiting for that, gonna install it and then order a slip yoke eliminator with a Tom Woods drive shaft. Just curious how it felt without a sye or beefier shaft.

[@JRMSweeps]

I didn't install a drop bracket when I did the new lift, however, there could have been one with the old pro comp lift that was there before. I didn't look tbh. No slip yoke elim and stock drive shafts because all it was just a rusty ole beach rig. Rode great after install. As far as vibrations, didn't have any from the new lift. Rode just as good as the pro comp lift we had with no issues.

[@MustBeWade]

did you leave the U-bolts loose until you lowered the jeep back done and then tighten them up? or did you tighten them before dropping the jeep?

[@JRMSweeps]

I tightened while up in the air and then again on the ground.

[@joecruz4846]

Straight up rust bucket. But oh well. Rock and roll.

[@JRMSweeps]

Yes it was. Was like that when we got it and the beach made it worse. Nonetheless it was a cool lil jeep when we had it.

"How to cut off your old suspension"

[@davidjessee7701]

Do you still have this jeep? And if ,have you taken off the pan hard bar? Or drag link?

[@JRMSweeps]

Unfortunately, we do not still have this jeep. However, i have taken off the drag link on our jk jeep, might be of some help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3zCppR6r9SibJY

[@maddyshelton3298]

Hey I know this video is old but I was wondering what you think. I recently got a 1994 yj wrangler. I want to get new tires and I don’t know much about cars. So do you know the biggest size that would fit on mine?

[@JRMSweeps]

Is it lifted or stock? It depends on the rims as well. Are you going to use stock rims or aftermarket?

[@TheTrebleAngel]

Anything u needed to buy that the kit didn't come with? How long did it take to do it all around ?

[@JRMSweeps]

The bolts and nuts I had to buy separately. I went to fastenal and got grade 8 hardware. I can't remember timewise, but want to say it was 4 to 5 hours or so since I had to cut everything out and was a 1 man crew.

[@gildardosantacruz5791]

You guys have crazy rust issues, Good video thou.

[@JRMSweeps]

+Gildardo Santa Cruz ty...we take it to the beach primarily, not to mention it was really rusty when we bought as well.

[@Ikillintel1]

hell yeah...cut ... it....out ;D ...you don't need track bars on a YJ ...get em out, get flex.

[@JRMSweeps]

I dont think i cut the track bars out.

[@SR-cp1eo]

Love the video! but GET NEW ROTORS! lol

[@JRMSweeps]

Sold it lol

[@SR-cp1eo]

Haha fair enough! nice detailed video!

[@JRMSweeps]

Thanks. Had to get something newer after that install.

[@Blamb.95]

do you have a part for the rear?

[@JRMSweeps]

No sir

[@Blamb.95]

Thanks for the reply. How hard was the rear to do compared to the front. Did you have to do the transfer case lowering kit also?

[@JRMSweeps]

idk if it had one or not on it prior to doing this or not. Prob wouldn't hurt to do it to be honest.

[@joepeters5296]

What tires are those ?

[@JRMSweeps]

They are 33x12.50x17 Nitto Mud Grapplers. Have some 38s same tire on my JK on this channel as well.

[@stevenbuse9425]

Nitto Mud Grapplers

[@Noslime]

I had to stop this video to say something. You will thank me later. Buy a battery operated 18 or 20 V grinder. Also, Milwaukee makes a great 18 V cordless half-inch impact that would make this job so much easier

[@JRMSweeps]

Ty man. I have an 18v impact, didn't do to hot for me at all since all the undercarriage was rusted. The nut heads weren't even squared off anymore. I def need a batt op grinder tho. You buying lol. Thanks for the comment my man.

[@danielmason5865]

You sure those "+" signs are supposed to go towards the front? Instructions say the "larger eye" goes towards the back and the larger eye on mine is the back one. Called RC and they just said the + and - signs don't mean anything. Also having same to ratchet strap.

[@JRMSweeps]

From what I researched, yes. However, I'm a regular joe doing this in the yard so could be wrong. I can say after install everything worked out really nicely. Why would they put + - on it if it didnt mean anything?

[@danielmason5865]

Thats what I said lol....maybe the guy i talked too didn't really know. So you had to ratchet strap because the springs were too far to the right or left, correct? Having same problem and was wondering if something might be bent.

[@JRMSweeps]

Possibly or it could be the fact that the jeep is so old and not perfectly lined up as well. You know over the years all kinds of stuff happens to these rigs. Ours was a crazy old rust bucket that was put through hell and back so it was prob def outta whack.

[@williamthompson969]

That thang is rusty bud

[@JRMSweeps]

Was like that when we got it...was a beach rig mainly
