Great to see fellow Americans working and building quality components IN America ! (made my day) We ALL should supporting such companies

[@javierdario3784]

Glad to see that the actual owner gets his hands dirty also, that showed a lot about the company

[@pennypackmtb2542]

YES, that is so cool and shows he's not in it for just the money, but he's proud of the product.

[@highs449]

Love when you guys go behind the scenes of these businesses!!! American Made!!!

[@philiphannum4211]

Made in the USA! Love it. #JellyNation. She is not stupid, she is making sure nothing get by her from under the couch.

[@hudsonohio5033]

Thanks for the insider's view of the shop and the hard working crew that makes it all happen!

[@trevernickerson3624]

This was one of my favorite videos. I like that the whole process is done in house and in America!

Hands down, the sexiest thumbnail yet

[@jimini1976]

NY is not cold, It just doesn't have any heat right now. Thanks for the tour.👍

[@Qbynordi]

You made an excellent choice going with RK..great company and great products

[@00corin00]

Just bought my Rock Krawler lift kit today! I'm so pumped!!!

[@bradshutler9356]

Well, now I am armed, jointed, welded and shocked with my choice of high test caffeinated shock oil. Can't beat that at 6:00 am so thanks for the tour Kevin & Brittany and please excuse me cause I gotta go purge some air. ROCK ON!

[@jeffro8373]

Hahaha I love Jelly so much ,she's so funny. 🦴❤

[@JkCanvas]

Jeremy and the RockKrawler family is AMAZING. thank you for sharing.

[@JustinKingOffroad]

outstanding video Kevin! hand made in the good ol USA!!!

[@apexpredator_jku]

There you have it...for all the RK hater know it alls that swear RK is made overseas...looks in-house to me in the heart of The Empire State! Where people get this misinformation leaves me dumbfounded! Don't forget to grab a Krawler Joint removal tool in case you need to rebuild. #teamRK

[@dwizl7213]

RK hater know it alls aka Metalcloak fanboys/girls...nothing wrong with brand loyalty but not at the expense of smearing the next brand.

[@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784]

JeepΦJeep no reason to smear anyone. The simple truth works and focusing on your own stuff works well.

[@jaimecondejr7721]

@@dwizl7213 I wouldn't say I'm a hater, but I am a believer of proven facts. I enjoy my metalcloak products because I dont worry about joints going bad(no maintenance, flex is great, and joints dont squeak when they get dirty) the arms dont rust after a winter, and it's based simply on what I've been around and seen. Had my experiences been better with RK I'd use their parts.

[@LiteBrite]

Just like everything else, as you go bigger and badder, the more maintenance is always required in general. Like when we upgraded to nitrogen shocks, the 6paks required maintenance. But it’s worth the added benefit. When you upgrade to beadlocks, those also require maintenance (a lot of people don’t know this, but they do). But the benefit is worth it. Same with this long arm kit, the benefits are worth the required maintenance. It all just depends on what your goal is for your personal rig and what you are willing to do to achieve and maintain that goal. 😊😊

[@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784]

Jaime Conde Jr RK is using new joints now and they also now powercoat everything in house. The issues before were when the outsourced the powder coating. The new joints won’t rust or corrode but yes these concerns are for good reason as they did use to have problems

[@cesarquintanilla1264]

Love to see how things are made. I repair welders and love seeing how guys weld and do what they do. Fabulous job.

[@trevorhowell6575]

Merry Christmas, that was a lot of information....thanks!

[@jeffro8373]

Omg that's so badass!!! Thanks for showing the process, nothing like taking some raw and turning it into something beautiful.. Much love and respect for you Brittany and Kevin and Jelly!!! 👋🤘☃️❤❤❤🎁🎄

[@owenburkholder7677]

I love this kind of stuff! How things work and are put together!

[@chillis28]

Great video! Learned a lot!

[@Michael-yt3wz]

Just ordered a Rock Krawler lift kit last night!!! Thank you for the wonderful work you do. Can't wait to scrape some knuckles in a few weeks!

[@GoatOffroad]

Very cool! Great job Kev taking us around the shop! Y’all are awesome! ❤️🐞

[@StoverEnt]

The take away: More than you think= what it actually takes to do what Jeremy and his team @ RK do each day. 👍🍻

[@highwaykev4903]

Awesome video of RK! Y'all have a Merry Christmas and be safe and have fun.

[@withintheglass2170]

These are big boy control arms!!! You’re going to have to re flex test the Step Child

That info was great!!! Now I have more info that I can make decisions on what I want on that Gladiator!!!

[@Riding_with_Adam]

Awesome video Kevin. Interesting to see the day to day at RK and how their stuff is made.

[@derrickscott28081]

Awesome video guys !

[@TheRspct2all]

Awesome video!

[@Jeep.Generation]

One of the best videos you guys made. I really like the educational stuff on how things are made.

[@ROXUnet]

You did great Kev

[@rickmarquart3277]

Great info, definitely need to check this out. Thanks 🎄

[@lonniet.2816]

Great job Kevin. I found this very interesting to watch. And a little Jelly at the end to sweeten things up!! Have a Merry Christmas and a fun and safe new year!!

[@MrMctheking]

Kyle killing it!

[@noahaakre6883]

Love my Rock Krawler lift. Great company!

[@2fuzzies]

I've been running a RK 3.5" x-factor for about 2 years. Very happy with it, very flexy. However, I broke the rear trackbar relocation bracket in 2. I called them and sent them an email with pics about a week ago. No reply back from anyone. They claim to have a lifetime warranty on all hard parts. I had an artec bracket welded on. Not doing another bolt on. I broke it once, I can break it again. Anyhow, enjoy the new RK bling. Rubber side down, shiney side up.

[@rogerwixom759]

Kevin great job showing what goes into making a lift kit and the shocks i did not realize it took so much to build thank you and Merry Christmas

[@jasonnourry9612]

Just watched a old video of when you guys first got the stepchild. It cool to see how much the Jeep has changed. Merry Christmas

[@LiteBrite]

Merry Christmas:) ya it’s definitely neat to see the progress

[@RyanRKJ]

Thanks for filming this one Kevin. I enjoyed it.

[@frankkrivitz3323]

Great video! Love the "How It's Made".

[@michaelhalstead64]

Dope, as usual. That was super informative. Thanks for the inside look.

[@kenmarapese9085]

How it's made, nice!

[@jacobvargas5621]

Nice work Kevin.

[@kbialo2340]

Thank you for sharing the inside processes there. RK suspensions are legit. Love the ride quality and flex I get with my 2.5” on 35’s.

[@TravisGoldstein]

I cant wait to use this video on my 2020 show TV!

Last time I was this early the StepChild was still stock 🤘

Pretty cool to learn about the steps in there builds. Can’t wait to see ya wheel the stepchild with the new setup. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 B , Kev and Jelly

[@davesusek3330]

Merry Christmas all I just have to say you guys do such a great job filming and editing your videos. You have gotten me so spoiled there are some others I can no longer watch. Thank you for all you do.

[@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784]

Dave Susek thanks!

[@tks247]

Nice how it's made video. A lot more hands on work involved then I thought there would be. Thanks.

[@thewanderer577]

'Merica! Good job Kev!

[@Stuka87]

Any concerns with the 3-Link and towing? As I understand it, the 3-Link gives better articulation, but less on road stability.

[@jamesdowning88]

Good job Kevin!

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

LOL, he said Pete and repeat. Thanks for the behind the scenes view of what goes into building a suspension kit. Get it on the Jeep already!

[@charles_wipman]

Look good, but what i like the most it's to see people doing 'em instead machines; i like that. Btw, did you noticed how well and practical a hoodie with the logo on the back and a zipper on the front is...!?, it's amazin'... "like magic!". Idk where you gonna be guys, but enjoy the holidays and stay well.

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@jmoto10]

Great video

[@lowboyblue]

Thanks for showing me how the RK suspension was built, I run them on my JK. Hearing about them getting into Toys has me excited, I would love to run RK on my Toyota.

[@joshleal9811]

Really nice video guys, very informative, also I want to wish you a merry Christmas and a very prosper happy new year, fun of happiness and more adventures.. You guys rock 🤘

[@LiteBrite]

Merry Christmas to you as well!!

[@robertmarez3195]

Awesome video....very informative......great insight on the whole process...what actually goes in t ok making those products...Kevin you did a great job videoing....poor Jelly, getting stucked... egarly awaiting next video......Safe travels

[@jeepdogjl8687]

I'm really glad to see you guys are putting on an RK lift. As a 2dr JL owner, I was having trouble finding a quality lift my Jeep. RK was one of the first and still few manufactures that make a lift for the 2dr. It seems most companies don't want to bother with making 2dr JL lifts.

[@mattclark8483]

Any 4 door lift is a 2 door lift as well. Just keep in mind 2.5 would be 3.5, 3.5 would be 4.5 ext. Also some long arm kits would probably vary, but as far as not making lift kits for 2 doors, i have yet to see that. Pretty much every company out there makes 2 door kits.

[@chefdanielb]

Seconded. To that comment, the basic lifts are the same however some of them correct factory rake on the 4 door so you may need a 1/2" spacer on the rear. To level it out. But definitely no shortage of lifts on the market and as far as best goes. I would look into Synergy their stuff is bulletproof.

[@80smxpro41]

@@chefdanielb I hear RK is using the same springs for the JL as the JK with a spacer. This is what I'd heard so I cancelled my RK order and went with Teraflex.

[@chefdanielb]

I know too many people who have had failure after failure with RK. They have never been on my list of things to put on my JL. I usually support all the brands on this channel except this one. I also had really subpar results with Metalcloak. So far Synergy has been great.

[@trjnsd6874]

Amazing shop! Clean too. I appreciate all the explanations and your great video editing. Now I understand more about long arm suspensions and what they do. Trouble is, I don’t have a JLU, only a lowly WK Hemi. I found a long arm setup for the rear, but the company is “out of stock”, and my local shop says it would not be worth the expense. Guess I’ll have to save up $ ! Love what you are doing LiteBriteNation!

[@stormw777]

I'm sure these guys are happy to have lite brite and kevin make a video about them.

[@rsharney1111]

Hahahahahah Kevin's pose is priceless!

[@georgegrimes4937]

You guys are going to love this suspension I've been running it for 2 years now and love it off road. I would also look into the steering components. The RK tie rod and drag link are very beefy and makes steering Offroad awesome!

[@MrMctheking]

I have the tie rod it’s massive. So reassuring when I’m beating the JK to know that’s holding my stuff together under there!

[@lesszabo5625]

Cool look at the shop and processes in making some parts. I will be checking their web site to check out some arms for my Gladiator. Thanks and Happy Holidays.

[@MYTOYMAKERZ]

Very impressive watching the build quality and the content is priceless for someone like myself that didn’t know a thing about maintaining it afterwards. But for my off-roading this is a bit extreme because I don’t do rock climbing. Sense fracturing my neck off roading I have to tread lightly now lol. Very nice video again. Thank You

[@davidhoxit4274]

Hey I'm early! Great video! I do similar work in the injection molding arena. Our equipment shares some of the same principles and technology of hydraulics used in dampers and cylinders. We also use inert Nitrogen to fill the accumulators, only we take them up to 2500 psi! Love the technical aspects of the channel, as well as all the fun! And Jelly!

[@KhallStream]

That all looks so rad. I need a job there I wanna learn all the things that make my jk tick!

[@michaelmurray2592]

Great job Kev!!!! I like a little change of pace every now and then. Lol

[@chuckwigham6112]

RK stuff is awsome! I have a RK lift on my JKU.

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

Cant wait for the Finnish to see how it looks should be awesome and Kevin proof merry Christmas from the uk

[@trjnsd6874]

? I didn't know the Fins were into these also! How are these set-ups in the snow?

[@phill1491]

6:10 - nice welds!

[@MrMctheking]

So you’re telling me Kevin does know how to film a great video!?!!!! 😎

[@oliverleclere1829]

Would love to see the engineering that goes into the parts as far as design and R&D go...metal choices, etc..

[@WranglerAddiction]

Right in time before bed lol

[@Nickwillfixit]

You can tell when you have worked round welder's half your life When you look away every time a welder drops their welding mask you automatically look away or cover your eye's yep that was me, it is like a remembered muscle re-action, you dont rrealise until someone point's it out. Good content interesting, but where's the Stepchild.

[@Whiteandsonsgarage]

Nick Ing dazed & confused Hahahaha I do exactly the same thing, better safe than sorry

[@Nickwillfixit]

@@Future-Preps35 Yep happened to me only get caught once, it felt like someone had chucked pepper in my eye's, as you said a couple of day's of much discomfort, and nothing can be done about it you just have to ride it out ugh, yep only once was once to many.

[@arjaitheoriginal]

Been there, Done that. Once, I thought I still had my mask on my head. Did the head shake and started my bead. It was a short burn. ;)

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

nice welding footage, and even nicer welds.

[@mikeburke5131]

Love my Rock Krawler lift but as others noted it does require more maintenance than other lifts. Get the Krawler Joint tool and some replacement bushings. Most important stock up on some of their special grease. I live in a decent-sized city and I cannot find the 000 grade grease locally.

[@GoblinRam1500]

Wow that’s a lot of work

[@MrMctheking]

First one in existence. So Fricking cool!!!!!

[@tomsmith2215]

That vid amazed me dazed and confused this morning. Good stuff. USUS

[@timkash9798]

I have to rebuild the Krawler Joints yearly or more. Hope yours last longer.

[@LiteBrite]

They have new joints now. My Metalcloak joints lasted about a year or so and needed replacement but I use them harder then most

[@caboosez250]

They should really machine the end tubes after being welded. If the welder puts too much heat into the weld it will distort the end tube into an egg shape. This would allow less reliance on the welder.

[@cabinwildlife7753]

Sold ! Thank you such an informative video (made in the USA). I just purchased my 3” Rock Krawler JT PRO-X “no limits coil over system . And used code LITEBRITE .

[@LiteBrite]

Heck ya that’s awesome!!

[@sithinstructor]

Hey Britney, Kevin, thanks for the vid. I had the worst day ever. Turns out after 3 years of fighting, 3 brain surgeries, and chemo, and steroids, and immuno therapy, and..... well a long fight, my mom is in hospice. Merry Christmas, right? Anyway, thanks for the vid, it helps me. Really. It does. Sitting in my garage in Parker, love the content. Thank you.

[@LiteBrite]

I’m so sorry to hear the news! I hope your Christmas gets better, and I’m happy we could help cheer you up a bit!

Hell ya great vid I wonder what the measurements are from the bottom of the belly pan to the ground will be? Love you guy's the jeep is looking fantastic 🇺🇸🤙❤❤ see you guy's soon by by......... RK is a great company and everything USA MADE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@xX_Templar_Xx-1]

I’ve had the RK 3.5 mid arm kit for a couple years now, it can definitely stand up to a beating. The only thing I can say negative is their brake lines got pinched and they wouldn’t warranty it for me.

It's good to see them being made in AMERICA
