ROUGH COUNTRY LIFT KIT FOR YOUR JEEP RENEGADE PT. 2 (INSTALLATION)

In this video Jake and I do an installation of the 2inch lift kit made by Rough Country. We try our best to give as much detail as needed to help anyone install the same kit on there Renegade. Towards the end of our install we started getting really tired and exhausted. With that said, I noticed that we forgot to film the reinstallation of the provided sway bar links. I do apologize for this and hope you guys still find the video helpful.

The best lift kit to me is the ATP lift kit. Full bolt on kit no modification needed. N very simple to install. I did mine in two hours front and rear. The ride quality is amazing. Had it on for two years and no issues

[@AdventureGT]

Agreed! Although it took my buddy and I way longer that 2 hrs, still worth it. Saved over a grande doing it our selfs

[@falcn12]

The best is the Italian 2" strut lift with reinforced heavier strut metal and no need for spacers and higher spring perches.

[@AdventureGT]

It sounds legit. Don't think I've heard of those.

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

Video quality is phenom!

[@arfrce72]

I blew one of my front axles popping like crazy on the drivers side. I’ll tighten up the sway bar ends and see what changes. Thanks

[@Kemp1730]

Excellent video guys like usual very informative and funny!!

[@mustangpapi76]

Good video. Thank you.

[@ulykethat]

Very helpful video! Did you get any problems having the alignment? The shop cant get my rear toe in spec after install...

[@AdventureGT]

For the most part, everything went well. There was one section where they couldn't get it 100%. But it wasn't going to affect my driving.

[@ilovfood]

doing this tomorrow on my brothers Renegade, should come out good

[@AdventureGT]

Heck ya man! 100% worth it. Don't forget to use loctite or theadlocker on the sway bar bolts. Had to do that twice after my install, all good now!

[@ldn889]

Great video bruh

[@KevinGarcia-wb1wn]

Best review I’ve ever seen very detailed

[@eddiev8148]

Would it be possible for me to drive down and have you guys add the 2” lift kit for me :)

[@joelnavarro6911]

Sick I just bought the kit I’m moving out of state bought the aftermarket hitch for it and it’s way to low already scraped. So it was fun watching your videos so I can do the same thing!

[@AdventureGT]

Awesome! Just remember to follow the instructions to the T. Its very helpful to have an extra pair of hands.

[@CarlosSanchez-dk7oh]

I have a Rough Country suspension kit for a Renegade 2017. I have 215/60R17. What higher number of tire do you recommend?

[@tylerhammond1952]

Hey guys! Everything on my install went really well thanks to you guys but I’m having trouble with passenger side strut. I can get it on to the knuckle but the holes to put the 2 bolts back in are about half an inch off. The strut holes are lower than the axle holes or else id just jack it up. Did you guys run into this problem or could you think of a way I could align the holes?

[@AdventureGT]

I do remember we struggled a little bit on the passenger side as well. I think we ended up getting it by putting in a screwdriver and trying to pry it on one side while trying to insert the bolt on the opposite side. Hopefully this helps

[@ulykethat]

Yes, I am 90% done with my lift too but the strut bolt holes will not line up with the knuckle at all on the driver's side.... Any resolution?

[@prestonjohnson3321]

Nice video thanks

[@alabamared2568]

From a different kit a guys channel on KZbin is called blue collar garage he did a avid 2 lift kit. Not saying adventure gts job isn't good it is I'm just saying I watched both there both good and informative..just to show a different kit check that video out for a different kit.. no offense George...

[@jeepinspence]

Jeeps are self healing given enough time!

[@mountaingrizzly7782]

Looks great! I've been thinking about doing the same lift to my Trailhawk. Did you have any issues having the wheel alignment done? Were there any problems with the camber adjustment??

[@AdventureGT]

Shop told me the alignment went well. Unfortunately a few days later the front passenger side sway bar link became loose so I would have to tighten down. Might look into upgrading to better ones.

[@AdventureGT]

Forgot to mention. At the alignment shop, they called me and suggested I change out my camber bolts in order to get a better alignment.

[@jaredisenbarger3269]

@@AdventureGT what would you recommend?

[@RenegadeMafiaCrew]

After doing this lift, honestly would you suggest doing a different brand lift? Maybe a teraflex? Let me know what you think. Want to do this once and right, you know?

[@AdventureGT]

I have no problems with the Rough Country lift beside the dang sway bar links. I don't know much about the Teraflex lifts but I know alot of people run them too.

[@JasonWjddphotography]

AMEN for CASEYS pizzaaaa!!!!

[@mainsfortes5778]

I can already see that you are neglecting proper maintenance. You need to clean the engine bay and undercarriage regularly or else rust will eat up your car. It does not cost much . Salt remover, WD40 , Fluid film, rust converter, paint etc. Cheap insurance against corrosion .

[@JAKE-WIZZY]

uh... he's unscrewing the negative terminal on the battery lol... LOL.. you just push the latch on it and it removes on it's own... no need to unscrew lol

[@exmachina2375]

Had you not have eaten or filmed how long would it have taken to install?

[@AdventureGT]

With 2 guys id say anywhere from 6 to 7 hours. Filming really took away alot of our time.

[@chitishapatel9770]

Hey, I am from India and I have installed rough county lift kit to my Jeep Compass 2021. I am confused about alignment. As alignment guy told me we can only do toe alignment and can’t do camber and caster. How your renegade alignment went. Is it completely done as per rough country recommended. I checked many videos but not able to find anything about alignment.

[@AdventureGT]

So when I took my jeep to get the alignment they did have to replace my Camber bolt's. And they did the full alignment on all 4 tires

[@chitishapatel9770]

@@AdventureGT ok thank you. And my passenger sway bar end link is making dab sound while driving on rough roads. Any suggestions on that ?

[@AdventureGT]

Yes.. they get loose, re-tighten them with some loctite. It will help for sure

[@vanyousif]

Why the front spacers is not straight he have some sloping??

[@nawafal-jabri1277]

I fixed same lift kit but I have front axle vibration what I can do to fix it?

[@truckdirty]

Did you get an alignment afterwards?

[@maxieboykin7824]

What kind of issues did you have with the swaylink bars?!

[@AdventureGT]

My passenger side link kept getting loose and was causing it to pop. I ended up using loctite on the nuts and bolts so they wouldn't come loose anymore.

[@TheMgd2929]

Ayo George do u recommend a 2in or 4in lift on a 2015 jeep renegade lattatude, pls help

[@AdventureGT]

That's really up to you man..I'm happy with the 2 inch lift, but you could always do a 2 inch lift with springs.

[@TheMgd2929]

Your thoughts on a 2in lift with strut spacers

[@TheMgd2929]

Does a 4in. Lift put more stress on linkages and other stuff?

[@noahosmon1777]

I am have a problem with t passenger side keeps hitting the axle where I cant get to to go into the knuckle even after I removed the. Lip on the bottom of the strut.

[@AdventureGT]

We had the most problems with the passenger side. What we did was put the top strut bolt in and pried it into place. Even with a helping hand its a tough get. Good luck!

[@jonwhitman3571]

The reason you are not getting the correct lift in your front end is simply the need for the front end lift level kit, because of the weight difference between front and rear this will level it out so the back end isn't sitting higher than the front

[@AdventureGT]

I figured it was due to the front end being heavier. Thanks for the info!

[@AdventureGT]

That was my 1st thought was probably the weight of the front end ringing it down but thanks for the info!

[@cadventure2386]

We have the same popping sound, what should we do ?

[@AdventureGT]

Definitely start with the end links the rough country links are not the best. Had to tighten mine a few times. Use thread locker

[@stipulationslive]

How much did you adjust your sway bar end links to?

[@cadventure2386]

Yes how much did you adjust the sway bars

[@lastmanxa]

Do you use spring compressor to install front struts?

[@AdventureGT]

Did not need to no

[@lastmanxa]

@@AdventureGT thanks .. just finished installing same kit but my rene vibrate when eccelerating .. what do you think the problem??

[@AdventureGT]

Pretty basic question but did you end up getting a full alignment?

[@lastmanxa]

@@AdventureGT no i did not yet lol I was planning to do it tomorrow but thought to check with you guys before wasting money cuz i done the lift at home to save what i can

[@lastmanxa]

But it seems my rear tires are not straight after the lift .. do i need longer control arms?
