For increased ground clearance, rugged reliability and improved vehicle performance, upgrade your suspension system with the Rubicon Express 2.50 Inch Standard Coil Spring Lift Kit. This kit will provide a 2.50-inch lift, allowing you to mount up to 35 inch tall tires so you can conquer even the beaten path. Together with the coil springs, the kit comes with either mono-tube shocks, or twin-tube shocks and everything you’ll need to install.
Both rear and front coil springs are provided in this kit. These are tuned to offer the extra height you need for your Jeep and will work perfectly fine with all other components that come with the set.
For installation, several parts will need to be removed prior including the tires & wheels, factory shocks, sway bar end links, and track bar at the axle end. The old springs are then replaced with the new ones, the new sway bar end link installed, the track bar reconnected and all the other parts re-installed. A professional 4-wheel alignment is necessary after the installation.
Rubicon Express backs this 2.50 inch Standard Coil Spring Lift Kit with a lifetime limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects in material and workmanship. This does not include damages due to improper installation, alteration or misuse.
The Rubicon Express 2.50 inch Standard Coil Spring Lift Kit is ideal for all 2007 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler 4-door JKs. terrain.jp/2W9hYp5

I can't thank Extreme Terrain enough for this video. Followed it step by step and my driveway install of this lift went super smooth. Thank you!

Excellent video overall. Very informative and useful, but a word of caution to other viewers... You MUST also follow the directions that come with the lift or you will have trouble later. Particularly, you should never tighten any swivel joints without the Jeep being on the ground with the suspension loaded. If you do it up in the air, it will hyper extend the rubber and cause premature failure. Also. Use a good quality torque wrench. Air tools are great or getting things undone but less so for accurate tightening. Just my 2cents.

The kit comes with alignment cam washers for adjusting the caster, where do those go? She didn’t install them and the instructions just have a picture to show how to adjust them.

Great vid. Two questions... What about the torque specs? Where is the best place to find that info? Also, with this kit, would you also need to do a 1/2 leveling spacer if you wanted to eliminate the rake? Thanks!

Does the front not require a track bar relocation bracket like the rear? Or did I miss something? You explained the difference between the two kind of shocks... how about the two kind of springs... standard and progressive rate? You did a fantastic job explaining and showing how to do this job step by step!

@extremeterrain 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! We always appreciate the love! The installation of this kit does not require a front track bar relocation bracket, but an adjustable track bar would be a great addition to this kit in order to center your front axle and keep things planted. 😁 As for springs! Linear springs (or standard springs) are pretty common when it comes to lift kits and work by completely compressing in an even rate throughout the length of the spring.The benefit of linear springs is that they have a constant level of ride firmness which is *great* for driving on-road, but tends to limit suspension articulation off-road. Progressive springs on the other hand increase in spring rate throughout the length of the spring. So, the top-half will start at a lower rate and then progress in rate throughout the rest of the length. Progressive springs will ride firmer at higher speeds and on-road driving, but ride softer and allow for flex at lower speeds.

I went with this lift because I want to continue to add to it. What would you recommend adding next? Trac bar, new front disconnect end-links?

@extremeterrain 3 жыл бұрын

A new longer set of swaybar links in general for the front and rear would absolutely be beneficial for this kit! As would an adjustable front track bar and front lower control arms to keep your alignment in-check. -Zach

@chaoticmitty9570 2 жыл бұрын

With this kit will i need to change my driveshaft? Or buy extra parts like longer track bars for the front and control arms? I ask because i just watched the suspension geometry video and curious what is “mandatory” to change once i put the lift kit in.

@extremeterrain 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly this kit will set up your Jeep pretty well on its own! I'd recommend getting both an adjustable track bar and adjustable front lower control arms if you have room in your budget though. Both will allow for your Jeep to handle better down the road and keep your suspension geometry in-check. If you didn't want to worry about those two extra components, sticking to a 1.5" lift may be your best bet. -Zach

if I already have the levling blocks on the front springs do I need to reuse them or do the new springs comensate for those ?

The new springs would give you the lift and you wouldn't need to re-use them with this kit!

@aaroncummings59 4 жыл бұрын

did i miss the part where they install the front?

@extremeterrain 4 жыл бұрын

You may have! But I think it could have just been the angles that the front install was shot at, at some points it does kinda look like Merideth was working on the rear suspension instead. Front suspension installation starts at 5:07 and rear suspension installation starts at 22:52. -Zach

@devonburley2577 2 жыл бұрын

Just installed this lift and the ride is pretty stiff and really bumpy. This will go away when the springs get some weight or wear on then right?

@extremeterrain 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely! New suspension systems will always have a little break-in period as the springs settle. If a couple months of driving goes by and you still notice the ride stiff and jarring, you may want to look into a set of adjustable front lower control arms. That will help correct some of your suspension geometry and allow for a smoother ride. -Zach

Shopping around for my JKU 2018 with 35 inch tires and looking at the Rubicon Express 4.5 inch RE7144m lift kit with 8 adjustable arms with the RE monotube shocks or also contemplating buying the TeraFlex TER 1451401 4 inch lift with VSS 9550 shocks and 8 Alpine adjustable arms. So far I found the RE being 900$ less. Which one do you recommend ?
