Rough Country 2" lift kit install on 2008 Jeep Commander. Also installed 1.5" wheel spacers and huge 265/70/17 wheels. This spacer and wheel combo requires modification to the wheel wells (found out the hard way). I believe 1/2" smaller tires would work better.
Check out these links to the products used in this video!

You gave me the idea. I went the same way. Same rear shocks, same kit, with a nerf bar rail. I chip tuned my 4.7 though. Spacer for the throttle body with a forced air intake. And a flowmaster makes it look, run & sound good. You started me on my jeeps looks (Thanx)

old vid but still important lmao...Hey thanks for actually showing how and what to do so I can get the rear done...I just replaced everything up front, I mean jba uca and lower, ball joints tie rods, struts, clevis bolts...A real pain in the arse...everyone else just fast forwards through it then you are at the mercy of that...I got a WK and took me 16 hours counting store runs and coffee,eating, cigs stuff like that...2.5 inch lift gave me 4 almost 5 inches of lift...its crazy simple but everything in the salt belt is rusted (demon clevis bolt on lower control arm) I ordered two new bolts and it was the wrong one...lots of problems to run into ..its done though posting a vid todayon it...once again man thanks so much!

Little update, vehicle came back from the alignment and it needs adjustable ball joint to correct too negative camber. So for anyone doing this project, make sure you do the alignment. Otherwise you can wear your tires out fast and unevenly.

I have added the link in the video's description! Thanks! You can do the alignment first and see how much negative the camber is, then install the ball joint. To correct negative camber you basically need to move the top of the knuckle away from the strut.

Did the same lift and same size tires with no spacers though. I'm satisfied with it since I don't use it for off roading since the huge tires rub and hit everything in the well. 🤤I wish I could do a 4 or 6 inch lift but that would cost way too much to do. Spacers will be the next thing I buy. Great vid my friend!!!

I put that kit on the front and I had to remove it because if the width of the lift spacers is 2", the vehicle rises much more, since the front strut assembly rests on the middle of the lower suspension arm, not on the wheel hub. Then hit the transmission axle in the fork when the suspension is extended. I put another system (heavymetal suspensions) changing for a longer forks. And to correct camber, I use JBA Upper A-arms for lifted WK/XK

J E just clarifying that with the installation of the 2” lift the stance also changes, and the front no longer rests lower than the rear. I’ve attempted once already to install this lift, which is sitting in my garage in the box. I got as far as removing the lower clevis bolt( lower strut fork) bolt and it seemed to be overly seized, I did soak it with lubricant for serval days and was still unable to beat the bolt loose.. Any Inputs Please?

@@d.mclean6300 I just did mine. Call jeep and order 2 new bolts and nuts and save the headache. As for removing, I had to cut the bolts out. Then the whole bushing sleeve came out which basicly renders the lower control arm shot. So pending on miles and where your located (mine was 136k miles and from the north east, with the ammount of disassembly, maybe new lower control arms are the way to go. That's what I did. It added like 250 bucks to the project cost but I plan on keeping my commander indefinitely so it was a worth wild investment in my opinion

Took a lot of the angle out of my front axles. But great job...looks great! If I can find one of these Commanders for less than a million bucks in my neck of the woods, it's gonna be my next project.

TDR Auto, what is the modification to the wheel wells that is needed with this lift? RC recommends 265/70R17 tires with this lift kit, which is what you used. So I am wondering what modification was needed? Could it be because you used aftermarket wheels and not the stock Jeep wheels to put the 265/70R17 tires on (this could cause a different offset if the new wheel package did not match the stock offset)? I am about to do this exact job next week and want to be prepared for anything unexpected.

Donavan Garcia My friend did the research and requested this work. He never heard replacing control arms with 2" lift. You do need adjustable ball joints or control arms to correct the camber though if it's out of spec.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't think so since it's only 2in the are horror stories had me worried and there is quit a few. As for the ball joints you just pop them out and put those ones in ?. Look up jba upper control arms if you get a chance they explain why you should use them with a 2in.

Kevin Gerald Stock length. My friend the owner of the car was on tight budget. Later on he put on shock extensions.

I read that the monroe 58643 shocks are longer and fix this problem without extensions...they are for a ford f150 but apparently will work!

Sometimes it will go back with patience and trying align the shaft. In some cases you would need to remove the large clam, pull the boot and align the 3 bearings with the shaft in to the cages. Sometimes you can reuse the clam with clamp pliers or side cutters. Or get new clamp - not a warm clamp, should be low profile.

Would the gentleman that did the "lift" work in this video happen to live in the Arizona area anywhere? If so, I would pay you to do the same for my jeep commander. Thank You.

Sorry to hear that. Did you check your tires have enough space between the strut and also the wheel wells? Are your wheel spacers correctly installed and torqued?
