Ryan: The Mopar 2-inch lift kit with FOX shocks is for those of you that have a 2018 and up
four-door JL with a 3.6-liter engine in it that are looking for a lift kit that's going
to allow you to run a larger tire on your Jeep, but also one that is made by Mopar.
It's going to absolutely, 100% fit perfectly on your Jeep.
And depending on how you have it installed, is not going to mess with any of the factory
warranties on your brand new Jeep.
This kit is going to allow you to run a set of 33-inch tires on a Rubicon that has those
slightly higher fender flares.
You can get away with a bigger 35-inch tire even on just 2-1/2 inches of lift like this
kit is going to provide.
This kit is going to be a two out of three wrenches for the installation.
It does come with new longer lower control arms for the front of the Jeep so there is
gonna be a good bit of disassembly and then reassembly to do when installing this lift.
But we're gonna show you how to do that in just a second.
So, there are going to be a lot of lift kits out there as the aftermarket catches up to
the new generation of the Jeep, the new JL, and a lot of them are gonna be similar or
slightly different.
Sometimes it's hard to tell what you're really getting.
When you buy something that's from Mopar, this is a Jeep-branded part, Jeep Performance
branded part.
This is going to fit and work very, very well on your Jeep.
You're going to get something that is tuned specifically for your Wrangler and again,
you're not going to have any sort of issues with your warranty with this kit either.
So, there are a lot of benefits to purchasing this kit as opposed to one from one of the
aftermarket companies that isn't directly affiliated or associated with Jeep themselves.
However, because this does say Jeep Performance on it, because this does come out of a Mopar
box, this is gonna be a little bit pricier than some of the other kits that are going
to have fairly similar components.
So, let's talk about the components for just a second.
What you're going to get here is, of course, a new set of coil springs.
These are going to be longer springs and this what provides you with your two inches of
lift.
You're also going to get new coil spring isolators up front.
Now, the JL, the way it's designed, some people with the Mopar kit and some of their aftermarket
kits, were getting a little bit of spring bowing up front.
So, those new isolators are designed to take care of that.
You're also going to get a new set of sway bar end links, not just for the front but
also for the rear of the Jeep.
So, that's going to be a longer set of end links to allow for the new taller ride height.
As I said before, you're getting a new set of front lower control arms.
That's going to adjust your geometry back a little bit closer to the factory.
It's going to roll that axle which helps to get your caster and your pinion angle back
to where they were when the Jeep rolled off the assembly line.
So, you're not gonna get any weird driving characteristics, you're also not gonna get
any premature [inaudible 00:02:28] wear due to weird angles or any of that stuff.
These are gonna take care of all of that for you.
Here, you're going to have bump stop extensions for both the front and the rear of the Jeep.
Bump stop extensions are often overlooked but very, very important and you're going
to get those right here.
And then, of course, you're going to get those FOX shocks that are specifically designed
for this kit to work with your JL.
And that's why we're so specific and that's why Mopar is so specific with the fitment
of this kit.
This is for a four-door with the 3.6-liter.
Because if you're talking about a four-door with a two-liter or a two-door, the shocks
are going to be different.
These are going to be valved specifically for the weight of the Jeep as well as the
springs.
The springs are going to have a different spring rate for the different weights of the
Jeep.
So, this is very, very specific to your Jeep.
Now, what you're gonna get with the FOX shocks, this is an aluminum body monotube shock.
And what that means is that you're getting a nice, large surface on the inside here,
on the plunger of the shock which allows the shock to do a lot of damping.
It can take care of a lot of shock over a long period of time.
The fact that this is such a large body, it has a lot of fluid in it which helps it to
dissipate heat as well as the fact that it's aluminum helps with heat dissipation as well.
So, this is a shock that's going to ride comfortably, perform very well on-road and off-road.
In a slow off-road situation, this shock doesn't really come into play but if you do anything
a little bit higher speed, you're going over any sort of washboards, you're going to want
a high-quality shock and that's what you're going to get out of these FOX shocks built
specifically for this Jeep Performance kit from Mopar.
As I said before, you're getting components here that you can get from some other manufacturers
for a little bit of a lesser price.
For this kit here, you're gonna pay right around that $1,500 mark.
Do I think that's a bad price?
No.
I don't.
I think that's a fair price because I think you're getting components here that are designed
specifically for your vehicle by the same people that make the vehicle and components
that aren't going to affect your warranty at all and are just gonna work just like your
Jeep would if it rolled off the assembly line with a lift kit.
This is the lift kit that Jeep would have put on it.
So, I think you are gonna get a lot for your money here.
If you aren't as concerned about the warranty, if you're not concerned about the manufacturer
name on the kit, you can piece something together that's gonna be very high-quality, control
arms, springs that are the proper spring rate, really high-quality shocks that are valved
properly for your Jeep.
And you can piece something together for maybe a few dollars less.
But again, as a kit, one-stop shop, really high-quality components that's gonna do a
lot for you.
I do think the $1,500 price tag is gonna be pretty fair.
So, I mentioned before we're gonna have somebody show you how to get this thing installed.
We're gonna do that right now.
Tony: Tools used for this installation are as follows: a 15, 18, 21, 24, an 8, and a
10-millimeter socket, an impact gun or ratchet, a 24 and a 19-millimeter wrench.
You'll also need a lift or jack and jack stands.
Now, we have our Jeep lifted up into the air and secured safely, we're gonna go ahead and
get our wheels and tires off.
Then we're gonna move on to getting our factory suspension out.
Now, using a 22-millimeter socket, we're gonna go ahead and get our factory wheels and tires
off.
Afterwards, we're gonna put them off to the side and we're gonna go ahead.
We're gonna go ahead and get our shocks removed.
We're gonna move on to our sway bar end links.
We are gonna disconnect our parking brake cables.
It's gonna make it a lot easier to swing the factory rear differential out of the way to
get our springs out.
Now, that our wheels and tires are off, we're gonna go ahead and use a couple pole jacks
to support our rear axle assembly.
Now, we're gonna go ahead and start getting some of our components off.
We're gonna start by taking off our rear shocks, getting them out of the way and off to the
side.
Then, we're gonna move on to our sway bar end links.
We're gonna go ahead and get our track bar disconnected.
We're not gonna completely remove it, we're just gonna go ahead disconnect it for now.
And then we're gonna remove our parking brake cables just to give us that little bit of
extra stretch to get our factory springs out and our new springs in.
Now, at home, if you don't have pole jacks to use and you're not on a lift, you can do
this with a floor jack.
Like I said before, just make sure that your Jeep is well supported on a set of jack stands.
Then you can go ahead and just put your floor jack right underneath the pumpkin and lower
it down and out of the way.
Now, starting with your 18-millimeter socket and an 18-millimeter wrench, we're gonna go
ahead and get our shock bolts off here.
I'm gonna begin by just taking off the lower ones, swinging them out of the way then I'll
show you how to get access to the upper bolts and we'll go ahead and get those out too.
Now, to gain access to your upper shock bolts, we're gonna have to go ahead and remove this
small inner fender panel right here.
Now, this is very simple.
You're just going to use an 8-millimeter socket and go ahead and remove these three screws
and get this out of the way.
All right.
Now that our inner panel is out of the way, we're gonna go ahead and use the same 18-millimeter
socket that we used to take our lower bolts out to remove our upper bolt.
Now, we're not gonna need the wrench this time because the weld nut is already welded
to the inside of the frame.
Now, we're just gonna go ahead and move the bolt and make sure you keep a good grip on
that shock when removing it because you don't want it to fall down and hit you.
Now, just remember this is the same process on both sides.
So, it doesn't really differ whether you're on the driver side or the passenger side.
Now that our shocks are out of the way, we're gonna go ahead and get our end links off.
Now, using the same 18-millimeter wrench and socket, we're gonna go ahead and get them
disconnected.
We're gonna start with the lower ones.
With the upper mounts, we're gonna need to utilize an Allen key to get those disconnected.
When disassembling your Jeep, make sure you keep your hardware well organized because
a lot of this, we are gonna reuse with the installation of our new lift kit.
Now, for the removal of our upper tie rod end links, we're gonna go ahead, I'm gonna
break them loose using my 18-millimeter socket on my impact gun.
We will not be able to remove them completely this way.
To remove them, we're gonna have put Allen key in the middle of the bolt and a wrench
on the nut because it utilizes a ball joint style attachment.
Next, using a 21-millimeter socket, we're gonna go ahead and disconnect our track bar
but we're not gonna completely take our track bar out because we're still gonna use this
one once we put it back together.
Now, this also has a weld nut with a tab on the back of it so you won't need a wrench
to hold the bolt in place.
Now that our track bar is disconnected, we're gonna go ahead and get our parking brake cables
disconnected from the back of our axle.
This will give us that little bit of extra room to lower our axle down enough to get
our factory springs out.
And so we can go ahead and get started to getting our new ones in.
I already got this one out, but to remove them, you're gonna pull on the cable to gain
a little bit of slack and you're gonna wanna hold this tab out while you do it and this
should pop right out.
Once again, we're just gonna pull on the cable while holding this tab out and unhook it.
Now, to disconnect the cable from this tab, all you have to do is press in the little
tabs that surround the outside of it and it should slide right out.
And repeat this on both sides.
Now that we have everything disconnected, we can go ahead and start lowering our axle
assembly down.
Now that our axle assembly is lowered, we can go ahead and pop our factory springs out.
All right.
Now on to the front end of our build, we're gonna go ahead and disassemble it just as
we did the rear wheel.
We're gonna start with our shocks, our sway bar end links, we're gonna disconnect our
track bar, our brake lines, and maybe a few fittings, drop our differential down, and
go ahead and get our new springs and shocks in.
Now, the disassembly of the front uses all the same tools as the rear.
The shocks are still 18-millimeters.
Your sway bar end links are also still your 18-millimeters and your track bar is still
your 21.
Now, in your Rubicon Jeep, you're gonna have this sensor up in here.
This is the sensor that locks your differential in till you get power evenly distributed to
both wheels.
We're gonna need to unplug that.
You don't wanna have too much tension on that wire or else your four-wheel drive won't work
completely.
Using a flathead screwdriver, come to the clip, dig it in, and give it a little twist.
It unlatches, you can go ahead and pop the plug right out.
Now that you have everything disconnected, we can go ahead and start lowering our differential
down so we can pop our springs out.
And I know our shocks and our original end links are still attached, we'll get those
out in a minute.
Now that we have our differential lowered down enough, we're gonna go ahead and pop
our springs out and we're just gonna toss these off to the side.
All right.
Now, with our vehicle apart, we're ready to go ahead and install our new rear springs
in our Jeep JL.
Now, we're gonna have to go ahead and get our springs in.
They do differ from side to side.
Make sure you pay attention to the instructions and put in the correct one.
With our factory isolators in place, we're just gonna go ahead and slide the spring up.
And before you get the rear all the way lifted up one side, make sure you get your other
spring in place also.
Now, with our springs properly in place, we're gonna go ahead and get our shocks in.
This way, we can lock our springs in without them falling out of the spring pocket.
Now we're ready to go ahead and get our shocks installed and we're gonna wanna make sure
that you grab the right ones for the rear of your vehicle.
Your rear shocks that come in your kit are gonna have this plastic dust shield on them.
Now, they're open at the bottom that way anything that goes in will go right back out.
Now you're gonna have them inverted with the plastic piece to the bottom.
Let's go ahead and slide that up and secure it with your factory hardware.
Now, go ahead and repeat that for the other side.
Sometimes you might need to take a small dead blow and just tap it into place.
Now, we're gonna go ahead and get our track bar lined back up and it isn't far with this
kit because the lift really isn't that much.
What we're gonna do is go ahead and take our pry bar, shift our rear over just enough to
line the hole back up, and we slide the bolt in.
Now, don't forget to put your tab nut on the back of it.
Then you should be good to go.
Now, we're gonna go ahead and tighten our shocks and our track bar down and then we'll
go ahead and get our end links back on and tie up all loose ends in the rear.
Then we'll go ahead and move along to the front.
Now, with your 21-millimeter socket, go ahead and tighten that up.
Now, for your shocks, you're gonna use your 18-millimeter socket and the 18-millimeter
wrench.
Now, remember on the top one, you don't need the wrench, just your socket.
Now we're gonna go ahead and get our new end links in place.
These are slightly longer to go ahead with your lift kit.
Get our factory bolt in place, slide that down, then secure your nut on the bottom and
on top.
Once again with your 18-millimeter socket and wrench, go ahead and tighten this up.
Now we can go ahead and use our 19-millimeter wrench and our Allen key that we used earlier
to tighten up our upper sway bar end links.
Now, just remember, once you tighten up one side, it's the exact same process for the
other.
We're gonna go ahead and just plug our sensor in here on the side of our differential and
get our E-brake cables reinstalled.
Now they just clip right back into place in the exact opposite that you disconnected them.
After that, we're gonna get our covers back on our inner wheel wells then you can throw
your wheels and tires back on and we'll move along to the front.
Now, that ties up the installation on our rear of our new Mopar lift kit on our Jeep
JL series.
Now, we're gonna go ahead and move along to front.
Make sure you get your wheels and tires back on and torque them down the spec and you'll
be good to go.
All right.
Now, begin the installation of our front end, we're gonna start by putting in our new bottom
isolators for our springs.
Now, these are side-specific because your spring will lock into these.
Just follow the little nub that's on the bottom of them.
We're gonna go ahead and put that on our axle assembly, lining it up with the hole.
Just tap it into place.
Just repeat that on both sides.
Now, with our new isolators on the bottom and our factory ones that came with our Jeep
on top, we're gonna go ahead and slide our spring in place.
Now, just go ahead and repeat that on the other side.
With our springs in place, we can go ahead and get our shocks in, that way we can hang
our axle from the shocks.
That will take up the tension, we can get them off of our pole jacks.
Then we can go ahead and get our new sway bar end links installed and get our new lower
control arms installed.
Now, with your shocks installed, let's go ahead and get them tightened up using your
18-millimeter socket and your 18-millimeter wrench.
Now, with our springs and our shocks in place, we can go ahead and get our sway bar end links
in.
Now just go ahead and slide them in your sway bar and flip the lower link in, line up the
holes.
Don't forget your tab nut on your passenger side and your lock nut on the top.
Now, once you've got both sides in, you can just go ahead and tighten it up.
Now, with our 19-millimeter and our Allen key, go ahead and tighten these up.
And now with your 18-millimeter socket on your passenger side and your 18-millimeter
socket and wrench on your driver side, go ahead and tighten up the lower mounts.
Now, with the help of my friend, Joe, we used a set of ratchet straps and we pull our differential
over so we can get our track bar bolt in.
Now, realistically, you can just put your wheels back on and lower your Jeep back down
on the ground, but we're not done yet.
We still have our lower control arms to do and I just wanted to get the bolt in so you
can see what it takes to get that in.
Now, once you've got it in, just use your 21-millimeter socket to tighten it down.
All right.
Now, the last part we have to change for our lift kit is our lower control arms.
Now, these are fairly easy but the bolts are gonna be tight.
We're gonna begin with a 21-millimeter socket on the bolt side and a 24-millimeter wrench
on the nut side.
But before that, we gotta go ahead and take this bracket off of our lower control arm
that keeps our cables in place.
We're just gonna go ahead and take the nut off, swing it out of the way, then we'll get
our bolts out, and get our lower control arms swapped out.
Now, we're not gonna tighten them up until we get the wheels on it and it on the ground.
Now, you may ask yourself why do we have to wait for it on the ground?
If you tighten up your bolts while your suspension is at full droop, what this can result in
is a ripped rubber bushing.
Because it will be forcing the bushing to twist inside our control arm, that will cause
damage to it.
So, if you get the vehicle on the ground at full weight, it'll have the bushing where
it's supposed to be while you're driving and this won't cause the bushing to twist inside
the control arm and tear.
Now, let's go ahead and get them swapped out.
With our 15-millimeter socket, we're gonna go ahead and remove this nut.
Now, as you can see, our new ones compared to our old ones, our new ones are just slightly
longer.
Not a lot, but just slightly.
This'll help correct our pinion angle for our front differential.
And they just go back in in the reverse that they came out.
Go ahead and just loosely place your nuts back on your bolts.
And go ahead and put your bracket back on.
This, you can tighten down and lock it in where it goes.
All right.
We went ahead and we did the driver side first.
Steps on the passenger side are exactly the same.
Now, I hope you enjoyed this video and it shows you what it takes to do your lift kit
at home in your driveway.
Now, all you gotta do is throw your wheels on, torque them down, get this sitting on
its weight, tighten up the lower control arms, and you are good to go.
Now, once all that is done, make sure you take your Jeep out for an alignment.
Any time you mess with suspension and take suspension parts apart, always look into getting
an alignment, especially when you're lifting your vehicle.
