Your very welcome my brother. Let me know how you make out, or you have any questions. Happy Jeeping brother.

Lol absolutely brother. Got to be to spec!

I’m going to be leveling up my 21 ram soon brother. Stay tuned. Your very welcome for the help and thanks for the feedback my brother.

You can do it brother. Take your time and you’ll be golden. Let me know how you make out.

And if you run into a snag hit me up.

Absolutely brother. I didn’t forget about you either. You have a good Christmas and happy New Years.

@@MrV2u No problem man. Thanks. Same to you & your family too.

Daniel Board grab it by the middle section and pull fast and hard. It’s splined so no twisting. It pops right out. Thanks for the feedback brother. Means a lot getting positive feedback. Let me know how you make out.

You got it brother. Just take your time and it will come out perfect. God bless as well brother. We need His blessings now more than ever.

@@MrV2u Yes we do, Stay safe and stay positive.

@@aboulmagd88 absolutely my friend.

Do it brother. When you park near a stock Jeep you’ll notice the difference. Make sure you wd40 all the nuts and bolts a couple days before you attempt to do it. Let me know if you have questions and how you make out.

@@MrV2u Thanks brother...I just bought it Friday, so I’ll wait a few weeks, but I think it needs to happen!!!

Thanks brother I try my best. Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Thanks for the feedback brother.

Damn brother, the Jeep gave up a fight that you over came. Glad it all worked out and your happy with the looks. Make sure if it’s pulling you take it for an alignment. Enjoy brother and if you have any questions I’m always around for advice.

@@MrV2u Appreciate you, unfortunately I’m going to have to do it again soon. Most of my cv boots were busted and leaking grease everywhere . Then I installed the struts on the wrong sides. I believe I’ll be replacing both cv axles and getting new struts with a new leveling kit in a few months and redo the whole thing. At least I know what to expect. My JGC has a 153,000 miles on it.

@@wilder211 the struts on the wrong side isn’t going to do any damage. The leaking cv shafts will be a issue for sure though. If you want to spend more money check on bilstein struts. I forget the model off hand but then you won’t need a lift as they can be adjusted a couple inches higher and give you a lift. Then all you have to do is get a lift of equal height for the rear end.

@@MrV2u ok good to know I’m not tearing anything up with them on the wrong sides. I’ll look into the front bilstiens. I’m think I’m going to go ahead and get a rear lift kit as well.

Thanks for the support. I try my best to be as thorough as possible.

John Humphrey damn man that sucks. Make sure you torque everything down and recheck often. How you like it so far? Did you go bigger with your tires?

Awesome my brother. Glad to have helped out. Make sure you torque everything again in 100 miles give or take. Just to be sure. Thanks for the feedback.

Carle Aldrete thanks my brother. Much appreciated.

Your welcome brother. Let me know if you run into anything or have any questions. Make sure you wd40 or pb blaster the nuts and bolts a couple days ahead to get the bolts and nuts ready to be removed.

@@MrV2u right on man I appreciate the tip!

Let me know how you make out or if you have questions my friend.

Thanks my friend. Let me know how you make out on your Jeep.

Thanks for the feedback brother. Hope it helps someone attempting this install.

Thanks my brother.

It’s basically a shim. It keeps everything from fusing together. It shouldn’t be the cause of your vibrations. Did you torque everything down? Did you get a wheel alignment? Is it a bad vibration? How are your tie rod’s?

Splatacular It’s not a bad job doing the leveling kit yourself. If your going with the lift it’s more involved. You will need to take down your springs off the strut. I’ve had rough country on my older Jeep’s. Never had a problem. I can only attest to the rough country system. I would add spacers front and back. Bora from what I can find in the forums makes good quality spacers. Glad you liked the video as well brother. Stay tuned more to come. Any other questions let me know.

brandon scott you will never know it’s there. There is absolutely no difference in ride quality. Handles the exact same way as stock as well. Thanks for the feedback. Let me know if you have any questions when you go about installing the kit.

Always torque to spec lol. It’s recommended. I didn’t and haven’t had any issues. Thanks brother cheers

JMR Rebuilders your very welcome. If you have a extra set of hands it’s not that bad to get back in place. It’s a bit tough to do solo but it’s very possible to do. I wish I could of showed it but I didn’t have someone to record me lol. Just take your time and it’s not too bad to do yourself. Let me know if you try it and how you make out.

@@MrV2u will do. Appreciate your help. Keep getting after it

JMR Rebuilders just subscribed to your channel. Going by what your doing lifting the Jeep isn’t going to be anything for you guys lol.

@@MrV2u we are trying to convince the guy who owns the jeep we worked on to level his. We were about to level the truck we have now but it has it already. We already have the rough country leveling kit for the f150. So now we just got to find one that's not leveled

@@MrV2u appreciate the sub and support.

You in theory get 2 inches of lift brother. The ride is the same as stock. You wouldn’t know it’s there whatsoever. Glad you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you lift yours.

You can use anything from a hack saw, angle grinder, if you have a metal cutting disc on a Dremel that would work to. Let me know how you make out.

Nice job brother. Enjoy that Jeep.

Glad you liked it brother. Are you planing on leveling your Jeep?

Not yet. I just sprayed the stock ones. Waiting for my tires to wear down before I get some duratracs.

They came on it when I bought it. Further down the road I want to put sliders on it instead. It really wasn’t a bad job. Glad you liked the video. Stay tuned I’ll be doing more.

Edgar Arredondo I went with after market rims which pushed my rims out away from the hub. Which limited my choices on the larger tire. If you stay with stock rims you can run 32 inch tires.

jmg47905 u can get by with a 7/16 Allen key . It’s a proprietary size that Jeep uses.

The measurements was taken after I test drove it brother. The oem steps are ok. I wish they were sliders but I have no issues with them whatsoever. Thanks for the feedback brother.

@@MrV2u My Jeep is just a daily pavement princess so I don’t necessarily need sliders, just so long as the OEM steps can actually hold some weight without breaking 🤣 Thanks for the quick reply!

@@TonyTheTruckGuy then you’d be golden brother. I’m a big dude and they hold me just fine. Also when I was loading my tire on my roof rack with my weight plus the tire combo never had a issue lol. Happy a blessed holiday season my friend.

@@MrV2u That’s what I wanted to hear haha. Thanks man, you too!

Thanks brother. I had a 2 inch strut spacer in my 06 grand and I never had a issue. I took it off reading in Rausch Creek PA. Never a issue. The rough county leveling kit I put in on my 18, same deal bro. You see a lot of people saying it’s bull, but I’ve never had issues. All it is, is 2 pieces of metal welded together. The welds are solid and the coating they use held up in both jeeps. Glad I could help brother. Any more questions hit me up.

Stupid question but did you grab it and give it a real sharp and quick pull? It should pop right out! If not try to get under the Jeep and if you have a long punch or chisel put it against it and hit it with a hammer a couple times. A big C-clip holds it in place. Whatever you do don’t pry against it and the body where it goes into. You can break that soft metal real quick.

You can also try pushing it in and quickly yanking it out. Again fast and sharply. It should come out with a little persuasion.

MrV2u I can try again, I might need to get back to the gym, because I felt pathetic under there trying to get at it. I’ll be a little more aggressive and see what happens! Is it normal for it to feel locked? Almost like, it’s stuck, or locked, something like that, when I yank on it.

Igreja UNITED yeah bro it can feel like that. Also depending on how many miles you got on it. Show that shaft who’s boss and it will come out fine brother. Let me know when you knock it out.

MrV2u Thanks! And thank you for responding!!! We love all your stuff! Keep it up man!

MKE Dan you won’t in anyway damage the front end by leveling it. The leveling kit will level your Jeep for sure brother. It didn’t throw the alignment off and it’s not hard to align to spec at all brother. It rides the same and you won’t feel any difference at all. But when you park next to a stock Jeep you will see the difference. Let me know when you do it how you like it.

No problem brother, glad I could help. I would run a 32 inch tire. From checking all the forums the verdict is 32 is the biggest. I tried a 265/70 R17 with my Pro Comp rims and it was a no go, the off set pushed it out to much to fit. I’ve seen rubicon rims and tires mounted on our Grand’s and they fit perfect. Hope that helps brother.

MrV2u Thanks for the advice and quick response brother! Keep up the good work!

I do all my own maintenance. I lucked out with my year Jeep. I’ve seen a lot of issues with the years prior to and after 2018. I’ve had no issues whatsoever. Sometimes the radio and Apple car play act up. I don’t have air springs on my Jeep. I’m waiting on the big reveal of the new Ford Bronco. Decisions decisions brother. Let me know what you decide to purchase brother. Glad you liked the video. More coming soon.

@@MrV2u The bronco looks good too , waiting to see that too, unfortunately in Africa we dont have access to alot of American vehicles , we tend to follow South African markets ( which follows Australia ). so my choice is down to 2021 jeep Grand cherokee, ford everest, prado and defender . these cars best suit the annual trip i do across Africa . post some videos when you decide on your car too.

I defiantly will. All I know from your list is the Cherokee and defender. The defender is nice, but much more expensive than the Grand Cherokee. If they come out with a new model I’d recommend waiting a year for them to work out the bugs. The new Jeep Wrangler had a lot of issues when it came out with the new model. Keep in touch brother. Glad to know my channel has viewers in other countries.

I don’t have a tow package on mine. If your talking about the air ride suspension. It’s doable but you have to modify the system with a shorter pin that controls the ride height.

MrV2u I don’t have air suspension just an auto leveling load suspension. I had to install a whole emu set up in order to work. Thanks for help, keep making them videos.

I definitely will brother. Keep on watching I got a couple things in the works for the Grand.

I just saw your response to the gentleman's comment from yesterday, sorry! Would still be interested in your input

Carry The Zero basically on our jeeps your going to get a 32 inch tires under the Jeep. That also depends on the rim your going with and if you want to do pinch weld mods and or cut inner fenders and bumpers. It’s a much tighter fit than my old wk. I had a 265/70R17 tire mounted on a pro comp rim mounted on my Jeep and it wouldn’t fit. The rims I have push the tire out from under the fenders. So I’m just running stock size Goodyear DuraTracs. Maybe in the future I’ll put a real lift on it. It’s still to new to go off roaming with it now. As far as headlights, my boy got a pair of OEM HID headlight assemblies for 600 and they also require the wiring harness for 800. In my opinion I’d rather spend money elsewhere on the Jeep lol. They do look good for sure.

@@MrV2u I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the input.

Same as day one brother. You won’t even feel any difference. It’s exactly the same as stock. But it looks noticeable when sitting near a stock Jeep. No more rake.

Next time, I’m leveling a 21 Ram soon. Just picture the Jeep sitting perfectly even front to back lol. Take care my friend.

Kody it shouldn’t be a issue brother. You may want to take the struts to a shop and have them install it for you. They usually have wall mounted spring compressors that can do it no problem. But you should be good to go.

For the level you don’t need a spring compressor. You will definitely need one to do the 2.5 lift. You can borrow one for free at advanced auto or autozone. You need to be very careful when you do it on your own because your compressing a spring with a lot of force and you don’t want it to slip off and cause injury lol. If your careful you will be ok. Also if you want you can just do everything else and take your struts and springs to a shop and have them mount the plates in for you. Here’s the directions from Rough Country if you haven’t seen them yet. s3.amazonaws.com/roughcountry/install/921603000A.pdf

Glad to help brother. Here are the Torque specs Axle nut 150 lbs Tie rod 70 lbs Upper ball 75 lbs Lower ball 80 lbs Sway bar link 65 lbs Lower strut bolt 150 lbs These are what I found online from multiple websites to confirm. My friend at the dealer retired so I can't get 100% numbers. After I drove 500 miles I rechecked all the nuts and bolts again. Hope that helps you brother.

None at all. Went old school with it. I don’t have my air compressor yet. It’s not bad with hand tools.

Also brother spray all the nuts with a lubricant first and let sit for like 15 mins. It helps a lot. Wd-40, pb blaster, etc...

Sounds good man thanks for the info. 👍

With stock rims it will be 32 to 33 depending on tire brand. With aftermarket rims it’s all different brother.

I truly can’t see why not. It’s the same exact setup like you said minus the front shafts. Let me know how you make out brother.

Thanks brother.

Most likely it’s the same exact deal as mine. Is it just the fronts only? If your mechanically inclined and have the tools, it’s not a bad job. Just plan on doing it during a weekend. Don’t rush and you’ll be golden. Let me know how you make out.

MrV2u there are spacers for the rear strut and shock included in the kit as well, but after going through the instructions it doesn’t seem much different than the front

Do you have to cut the strut bolts to shorten them to make room for the spacers? If you do run a nut down to the bottom so when u cut it all u have to do is back off the nut and it’s easier to clean the threads. Good luck

MrV2u thanks! I’ll let you know how it goes

theycallmejim as a 2012 GC owner, interested how it went??

It all depends on the rim offset, and tire. You read a lot in forums some say it works some say you might need spacers or punch weld mods. If you know someone in a tire shop have them mount a tire for you and test it out is my best advice. Sorry I couldn’t have solid size numbers for you bro. Let me know how you make out and what you went with. I’m sure a lot of people have the same question.

I run that size without a lift yet but to do anything that articulates the front end, I'd recommend a lift.

With my offset I couldn’t get a 265/70R 17 to fit.

265/60/18 fit mine stock on stock wheels now have the RC lift with 276/65/18 duratracs stock rims at +56ish offset, pinch weld mod and 1.75” wheel spacers. Got new wheels with +0 offset itching to be put on

Kody boss status achieved lol. Going to be standing out in a world of stock WK2’s.

Make sure you have the right size socket on it and it shouldn’t tear anything up. Metric vs standard has a tiny bit of difference. Also make sure your hitting it from straight on and not an angle. I’ve used air impacts with 1000’s of pounds of torque and never chewed up any nuts or bolts. One more thing are you using impact sockets and not just chrome sockets. Impact sockets are black and built to be used with an impact wrench.

@@MrV2u Yes I have impact sockets. I think my issue was letting the socket bounce forward and backward on the bolt. Also for the passenger side does the cv need to be disconnected from the transmission?

@@wilder211 neither side has to be pulled. It just makes it a bit easier brother to do so.

It’s all in the video description brother.

There are no lift kits in the traditional sense for QL. However there are at least two methods semi-permanent methods, that have been discussed here, to alter the vehicle height. One is via the STAR scan monitor when recalibrating the vehicle height. The other is to replace the little rods/links for the ride height sensor.

That’s all that I could find online for your setup brother. Sorry I don’t have better news.

The lift kit is also a leveling kit. It’s made to lift the front higher than the back to make it even brother. Did you measure the height front and back?

@@MrV2u yeah I measured the front and it was sitting at 35.5” and the back is sitting at 35.25”. It’s a very slight difference yet somehow when I look at the car from a distance it looks like it’s leaning. Maybe it’s placebo effect?

@@MrV2u I imagined my Jeep GC would look like the Jeep’s advertised on the rough country video on KZfaq but those jeeps look like they may be sitting higher in the back.

I’ve read somewhere in the forums that there is a rubicon 1/4 inch spacer you can add to the rear ones you put on. I can’t remember off hand where exactly. If you plan on swapping bumpers or adding a winch etc.. I would just leave it as is bro.

You absolutely can brother. Ready lift and rough country make awesome leveling kits as well as other brands. Down the road if you want you can keep your stock wheels and get bigger tires as well.

You just got to man handle it. Try to get a pry bar behind it and pry it loose. It should come out with a sharp pull. Be careful not to crack the cast housing where it goes into the differential. Let me know how you make out brother.

I’d recommend spraying every nut and bolt with pb blaster or wd40 now so when you get to it it will have worked in. Then when you actullay do the job hit it with some more. Take your time and don’t rush anything. You’ll be ok brother it’s not as hard as you think. Let me know if you run into anything or have any other questions. I list all the tools needed in the video brother.

How did it go Tyler

@@wilder211 hey there! It went super easy and helped a lot with this video! Looks soo much better too !!! Wish I could post a photo here

@@tylerbentley5413 I just ordered off Amazon today and will try to tackle this this week. Any tips? Did you use impact tools?

Good deal brother. I’m sure the Jeep looks bad arse for sure. Enjoy your setup my friend.

You got it Jacob.

SilverBack Gorillaz nah you don’t have to replace the struts. Unless there going bad which I doubt being you got a 2017. The spacers don’t do anything to the ride quality or damage anything in any way. Let me know if you go with it and how you make out.

@@MrV2u Awesome, thanks for the advice

Absolutely brother. Check their website to verify but I’m sure they would.

The Caliper bushing pins are allen head sockets, and use a proprietary size, none of the common sizes fit properly, but I was able to remove and install them using a 7/16" allen key, even though it was loose in the socket I was able to get it done without damage. The next higher size, metric or standard was too big and wouldn't fit. Let me know how you make out brother.

MrV2u awesome now I’m ready to get started thank you sir 🤙🏽

No nothing changed at all brother.

For real brother, and I’m thinking of doing it again with another lift front and back. I’m a glutton for headaches lol.

Mine was direct from rough country. Is it a leveling kit or all around lift kit, they have both.

On this setup, no spring compression is needed. Follow the video and make sure you spray all those bolts with pb blaster or wd40. The ride quality remains like oem. It’s not stiffer at all. Let me know how you make out or if you have any questions.

@@MrV2u hey man I appreciate the response. I ordered the parts and I’m going to give it A go. I’m a mechanic by trade I just wasn’t aware if you skipped the spring compression because it’s a pain or not. Do you have. Video for the rear?

@@MrV2u get video btw

@mathewalbright7880 I just did the level kit. I didn’t do a complete lift system. But it’s not that hard to do and I’m sure you’ll be able to figure that part out no problem.

@mathewalbright7880 the only time you’ll need a spring compressor is when your pulling the strut apart to put a loaded spacer inline with the top of the strut and spring perch.

Not with this system. They do sell kits that come with links to deal with the air ride systems.

@@MrV2u right on, thanks for the reply.

It should help brother. It also depends on the wheel offset as well. Let me know how you make out or if you have any questions.

@@MrV2u It's the stock. I run it with 265/50R20. Decided to do upgrade it to bigger tire 275/60R20 my front wheel just rubbing my fender that's why I need one of this. Hopefully If I install the kit ot won't rubbeb anymore.

@@MrNhick24 if it’s a slight rub then you’ll be good to go brother. If it’s hiring the pinch weld behind the plastic trim then your going to have to cut and bend back the punch weld. Unless you go aftermarket with the rims to get a - offset.

@@MrV2u I will get it installed tomorrow. I will get back to you how it goes. I also run a 1.5 wheel spacers

@@MrNhick24 try to take a spacer off. It might help.

According to rough country. 265/70R17. Which is basically a 32 inch tire. That’s what I’m going to roll with. Anything bigger you will need spacers and pinch weld mods. I’m also going with Goodyear duratracs. There awesome tires. Long lasting and good all around.

I've got a stock wk2 with 265/70/17 falken at3w. Installing a 2 inch leveling kit soon and going to a 285/70/17.

Did you have to do a pinch weld mod or add spacers? How is it lock to lock?

No pinch weld mod, no spacers, turns lock to lock with no scrubbing at all. It's tight but no modifications were done

Might try 285/70 as well then. But I’m pretty sure you’ll need to do a pinch weld and or spacers. The upper ball joint stud is going to be a issue for sure.

There in the video description my friend.

Lol it was, but worth it. If you just take your time it’s not bad.

It's a 1.5 hour job.. i install these all the time

It doesn’t effect the ride quality nor has any negative effects overall. Thanks for the support brother.

for some reason i tried doing this but my sway bar link keeps getting stuck when removing the back bolt off

Lift or lower the control arm to shake it free brother. Did you make out with it already?

Im still at the proccess rn man im so close but now i cant put the shock back it behind the sway link arm 😂

@@pacohypers1119 keep at it brother it’s not easy but have patience and it will go in move that control arm up and down to make it go in. Lol you got this in the bag brother.

When I get back from vacation I’ll get you the specs.

Torque specs Axle nut 150 lbs Tie rod 70 lbs Upper ball 75 lbs Lower ball 80 lbs Sway bar link 65 lbs Lower strut bolt 150 lbs These are what I found online from multiple websites to confirm. My friend at the dealer retired so I can't get 100% numbers. After I drove 500 miles I rechecked all the nuts and bolts again. Hope that helps you brother.

If you have a large punch that will help and use a jack to lift the control arm up a bit brother. Let me know how you make out.

@@MrV2u sorry, I should have said my issue is I cannot get the lower control arm to go "down" far enough to line up the bottom holes of the strut to the lower control arm. It's not that the lower control arm needs to be raised to line up. Thanks!

And the knuckle is not attached yet.

Try loosening your lower control arm mounting bolts. That should let the arm drop down more.

William Brewer you can do it on a air suspension but you will have to modify the rod that controls the air system.

Absolutely nothing has changed from stock brother. No issues whatsoever. Let me know how you make out on your Jeep brother.

Are you having issues with stability? Did you level or lift it ?

Check your entire front end. It can be anything from a ball joint to a broken sway bar link. Jack up one side at a time grab the wheel and try to rock it side to side and up and down. Should be tight with no play. Was the noise immediately after they installed it? If so take it back.

MrV2u Yes I heard the noise before I even pulled out of the parking lot. I got underneath and everything looks tight. Have an appointment Thursday to have them figure out what it is. Sound really seems to be very intermittent and doesn’t always happen going over bumps.

Abandoned TN check all your bushings on the control arms. Especially the upper control arm. What year Jeep you got? How many miles?

MrV2u It is a 2014 limited with 275/55/20 Nitto’s and 77,xxxx miles.

Honestly brother I’m pretty sure it will be short. But with just a level your not really doing much to make you regret it. You won’t damage anything nor change any ride quality. Hope that helps brother if you attempt to do it and have any questions I’m always around for advice.

The alignment wasn’t bad at all. You can go wherever you like brother. Late is better than never lol.

@@MrV2u thank you sir

About how many miles you have on the Jeep? Do you take it off roading? Do you carry a lot of weight in it? It’s normal for springs to start sagging some as they age or get used. Maybe the rears are loosing their height some. Mine is still sitting level the way it was when I installed it brother. How many inches is it lower?

@@MrV2u I haven't done that yet and it's been about 30k, I seem in a separate video that people said to let it "settle" but it's still sitting lower on the rear about an inch or less, have yet to measure it.

@@rayben3972 definitely measure it on flat ground. Let me know what you get brother. Your springs shouldn’t be sagging with only 30k.

@@MrV2u oh no my bad, I have 105k on it, but 30k with the lift

105k still isn’t bad. Unless you beat the Jeep up with weight and off roading. But let me know what you get when you do measure it brother. I’ve done many levels and lifts never saw it measure different than what the kit says.

No noise at all. You don’t even know it’s there. You having issues brother?

Ya I keep hearing clunk noises on every bump.. even just turning into driveway

Jack up your Jeep front tires off floor take a big pry bar and put it under your tire and rock it up and down. Have some one so it for you and you get underneath and look at your ball joints for play. Then have them grab the tire and rock it side to side and look at your tie rod. There should be no play anywhere. Let me know what you find.

Hay what’s up bro my bad didn’t reply but I found the problem, it was the dam Sway bar link it was loose.. pissed me off lol thanks tho man

Lol at least it wasn’t something expensive. Thanks for the reply brother.

It’s just the nature of the beast in the north east. It’s mostly surface rust on mine. They will last long though brother.

@@MrV2u yeah it’s all good until I peek under my buddies Toyota Landcruiser and it looks like moms silverware.

@@johnviera3884 lmao. It’s Jeep’s build quality compared to a beast of a Toyota.

@@MrV2u I have a 2017 WK2. Are the round lenses on your projector beams clear or foggy looking? Mine are foggy looking and I have seen some that are clear and some that are foggy like mine. Mine are halogen. Maybe the HIDs are clear and the Halogen are manufactured with that foggy magnification?

@@johnviera3884 mine are clear brother. But I also applied lamin-x yellow wrap on them so they will stay clear being protected from the film. I got a install video on my channel for it.

Cota James nope still doing good. You can’t even tell the difference.

What about ride quality is it exactly the same off road? Or is it a rougher ride and less quality?

It’s exactly the same as stock on or off road. The only way to tell the difference is by looking at it next to a stock Jeep. Lol

Your safe with a 32 inch tire. Either mud, at, or hybrid no problem.

I’ve never heard of anyone with similar issues. You can check tire pressure just in case, how many miles you have on the Jeep, if a lot the springs can over time sag as they wear out, could also be a defective level kit. Who installed the lift? How long since they did it? If not that long ago take it back. Also was the ground level where you measured it? Let me know how you make out brother.

It came with the Jeep when I bought it. There’s a lot out there very similar to mine. I’m thinking of getting rock sliders in the future and removing these bars.

Yovani Botello first I would lift the Jeep, Depending on what you want to do, such as off roading or just for looks. The lift determines the tire size, also the bigger the tire the more gas you consume as well as poorer performance unless you got a 8 cylinder. With my leveling kit and rims I just put on I can safely put a 32-33 inch tire on it. Also the bigger the rim the lower the profile tire you’d have to run with. I stayed with 17 inch rims so I can have as much tire as possible on it. Hope that answers some of your questions if not let me know so I can answer more.

@@MrV2u ok .yeah I want more tire so I'll just keep it at 17 and yes I only want it for looks . Is the gas a big difference if I put a 33 tires?

Yovani Botello you’ll loose about 2-3 mpg. I’m going with 265/70R17 Goodyear duratrac tire. That comes out to about a 32.5 inch tire. Good looks and it’s good tire for slight mud, rain, ice and snow. I had it on my old Jeep and it handled everything flawlessly. It’s one of the few tires that is snow and ice rated. It also has long thread life which is another thing to be concerned about. You can do what I did in this video and you’ll be good to go. 2 inch leveling kit from rough country. If you want to go bigger then you’ll have to get a 2 -2 1/2 inch lift all around.

@@MrV2u do I need to do anything for the back tires?

Not if you run that size I said. It will bolt on no problem. Check out the rough country website.

Quadratec online brother.

VEEKRUM I haven’t rechecked the bolts and nuts. All the hardware you tightened, it wouldn’t hurt to recheck them again to make sure there still tight. If you originally torqued everything down to specs you should be ok brother.

Thanks again. I’ve always had lowered cars and this is the first time I’ve ever had my ride lifted/leveled so this is all new to me. That email I got from rough country that it was maintenance time had me confused.

VEEKRUM lol I hear you brother. Welcome to the lifted / leveled world lol.

Lol it’s all good brother. Glad to help when I can. Let me know if you pull the trigger on a lift for your Jeep.

OEM from the dealer brother.

11mm hex. 10mm will work but then it will get stuck and you’d have to knock it back the other way.

It’s recommended just to make sure.

Aren’t those the adjustable shocks? You have to lower them to the height you like brother. I’m about to get those shocks as well. Heard good things about them. Let me know if that works for you and how you like them.

@@MrV2u Actually I don’t if they Adjustable or not I will check and let you know

I’m driving now but I’ll try and find you instructions if you need. Let me know, I wouldn’t run it at full height. You’ll feel every pebble on the road.

@@MrV2u thanks bro 😎 Thank you very much for the alert. I was going to return everything as it was .... Tomorrow morning I will do an adjustment🙏👏👍

That’s the lift kit.

That’s the leveling kit I installed.

@@MrV2u Thank you. Yeah I was looking at both... I just want the leveling kit so I'm not changing up too much stuff. I don't think the dude know what he was talking about..so I called back and the next guy basically said "yeah, the leveling kit will work just fine" so I went ahead and ordered it. Thanks again!!

Darvin Johnson the biggest tire you will fit under the Jeep is a 32 inch tire. Unless you do pinch weld mods and or cutting of the body. It also depends on the rim offset. If you know someone in a tire shop have them mount one for you for a test fit.

@@MrV2u Ok great. Thanks a lot I have 265/50R20 tires on now but wanted to go 275/55R20. I go to a shop tomorrow.

Let me know how you make out brother. Others will want to know as well.

Darvin Johnson how you make out brother?

@@MrV2u I'll be getting the kit this week. The guy doing the install said 275/55 might rub a little so he thinks 255/55R20 but we'll see I'll keep you updated.

Everything should line up no problem. Is it to low get a block of wood on the end of it and jack it up if it’s to low or have someone press it down if it’s to high while you man handle it into place. I didn’t have that issue brother. Let me know how you make out.

Not at all, still rides stock.
