Awesome, thanks. I really appreciate that feedback

Thanks for the great feedback and information! I really appreciate it. I'm with you on these instructions...much of it isn't as clear as it should be. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, I very much appreciate the feedback. I believe that people watching these videos will have different skill sets, so might as well make them as complete as possible, and if someone already knows 'x' procedure, they can just skip over it. Thanks for watching!

I agree there! I can ramble sometimes, so I try to not repeat myself too lol. It is very frustrating in other videos for sure! Sorry to hear about your Patriot, and glad to hear you are still here. Such a piss off...hit and runs. Patriots are nice SUVs. You have a tough decision there...I know the owner of this vehicle swears by his 2018 Cherokee Trailhawk...he would get nothing else (not to influence your decision lol). Hopefully you get something solid soon.

Awesome news! Great to hear the video was helpful and everything went well

Awesome feedback, thank you. Very much appreciated. Glad to hear the video was exactly as needed.

@@nightrider3587 you're very welcome! Lol

That's fantastic news. Really happy to hear of your success! Thanks for the feedback!

That's awesome news, thanks for the great feedback. Glad the video was enjoyable

That is awesome news. Glad to hear the video was helpful and you got it done! Great stuff. Agree with the ratchet wrench too!

After you installed the lift has it changed your ride comfort or anything like that

@@danzemke3283 I suppose this is subjective, but as per the owner of this Jeep, he advised it drives pretty close to how it was when he got it from the factory. I think trim will make a difference, as even a base model compared to a Trailhawk like in this video handles differently.

It is pretty awesome. The owner of this Jeep does trails often and says he has 0 issues. I agree, definitely a game changer

Thanks!! I really appreciate the feedback and you taking the time to comment! Have a happy new year!

No problem at all. I am the same way. Glad to hear the video helped

No problem at all. Glad to hear the tips helped out, even with the MFC kit. Thanks for the great feedback

Awesome news! Glad the video was helpful. Enjoy the new lifted Jeep! It is a lot of fun to drive!

@@NexusAuto yes it's now leveled and looks so much better, next new tires I'm thinking 235/65/17 not too much bigger I don't want it to affect my mpgs too much. Any recommendations?

@@alvinsanchez2918 unfortunately, no particular recommendations from personal experience. I can tell you that The owner of this Jeep went to KO2 tires, which look amazing and he loves the drive. But he came back as it was rubbing the inner fender wall and I had to shave down the metal underneath and reform the plastic fender wall. He loves those tires, and from what I understand, many Cherokee owners do. I would recommend those tires, but be prepared to have to do some slight modifications.

@@NexusAuto thank you

That's awesome news. Glad to hear you are going for it. It is a bit of a tricky project, but with the video and Rough Country instructions, I am sure you will be on your way to a mint lifted Jeep!

No problem at all. I know it is a longer, thorough video, but I agree, it is good to know what you are getting into. Thanks for the great feedback, appreciate it.

Awesome! Glad the video was helpful! Appreciate the comments!

Thanks! That's awesome! Appreciate it, and glad the video is helpful!

Thanks! Really appreciate it. Glad to hear the video helped get the job done.

Easy peasy

@@hisheirs Awesome news. Happy to hear the video helped out and you got the lift kit installed without a hitch. Thanks for the great feedback. Much appreciated.

No problem at all! Glad the video was helpful. Good luck, hope it goes well!

I can appreciate that for sure...nothing wrong with knowing your strengths an working within them. At least you can get a feel for what the shop will put into getting it installed. Enjoy the new lift kit! The owner of this jeep loves it to this day!

Hi, thanks for the awesome feedback and great comment. Very much appreciated. Upon review, there is no doubt that you are right. I think, at the time, the confusion with the brackets also threw me off, and I did in fact put that washer on the wrong bolt. Great catch! I will adjust this for the owner the next time I see him. in the meantime, I have also added this point to the description in my video. I thank you for the feedback and appreciate the respect in how you responded!

@@NexusAuto For the update, I would actually just purchase 2 additional grade 8, 9/16" Flat Washers and use them on all bolt heads and nuts, so you don't have to remove the other bolt. Rough Country saved a whole 50¢ per kit? Also, they used a double-negative in their instructions which were backward to start with, so we can't complain. Thanks again for your fantastic video and passion for helping 1,000 total strangers save hours and headaches. I also used zero grease, but did clean the bolt holes and took a very light grind on the strut spacers' mating surfaces to true-up the connection of the clamping action. All went on easy and could rotate smoothly.

@@peanutbuttercrunch That's great news. Very precise work. I agree as well...why not just include the 2 extra washers? Such a stupid cut to costs. I agree with your assessment, and I will add the washer details. Thanks again, and no problem on the video. Really just happy it has helped people out.

Awesome stuff! Looking forward to hearing how the install goes. The owner has been using it a couple of years now and still loves it. He goes off trail and everything.

You are the second person to say that in 2 days LOL. I have power tools...lots of them. But when I make these videos, I try and avoid using them as many people watching these videos may not have power tools. I try and make it as simple as possible while sticking to the instructions. Now, if I am working on something on my own...different story

No problem at all. I really should have done that before and after...many have requested it, but I never thought of it at the time. Thanks for the great feedback!

Awesome, thanks for the great comments and feedback! I really appreciate it! Interesting move, going from the TJ to the Cherokee, but you know, all the people I know who own them really like them, so that says something. Enjoy the lift kit...drop me a line after your done and let me know how it goes! Thanks again, and cheers!

G'day mate yes I will definitely do that ,as for my TJ ,yes I regret getting rid of it but she got me at a weak moment ,their experts at that ,and as the saying goes happy wife happy life ,look forward to watching new videos from your channel ,cheers mate from down under.

@@raeanker3078 Happy wife, happy life for sure! Don't I know it lol. There will be more videos in the future for sure! Looking forward to hearing about your results on this kit.

Thanks for the great feedback. That is good news to hear. Glad to hear the video was helpful.

Great news. Glad to hear the video was helpful and you got the job done! Thanks for the awesome feedback!

That's awesome news. Glad you found this video and it helped out. Appreciate the feedback

Hey...thanks for the great feedback! Appreciate it! Also, thanks for leaving your feedback on the job...it will no doubt be helpful for those who will be doing this in the future as well. Unfortunately, I don't have a DIY alignment video. Hope you get that fixed up asap. Thanks for watching and glad the video helped out with getting this done.

No problem at all! Glad to hear the video details were helpful. Thanks for watching!

Very true, and I should have shown that. Thanks for pointing that out, great tip for future viewers. Thanks for watching too!

Awesome news, glad it as helpful! Enjoy your newly lifted ride!

Yeah that's the tricky part...especially at a good price. Happy to hear the video was great...thanks!

No problem at all!

Awesome news! Glad the video was helpful. Enjoy your new lifted Cherokee!

LOL I will definitely look into getting a grand Cherokee and lift kit! Glad to see you enjoyed the video, even if it is for the Cherokee and not your platform. Hey, you never know, maybe I will get someone who will bring me a GC one day! Thanks for the great feedback! :)

Awesome news! Glad it helped get the job done. Enjoy the new lift kit!

Hmmm good point. I wonder if that is a common leak. Wouldn't be surprised, since both cars have a similar issue. And no problem on the video...glad it was helpful. Thanks, Appreciate it!

No problem at all. Glad to hear the video was helpful. Let me know how it goes after the install is done.

No problem at all. Glad to hear the video helps out

Awesome news...glad to hear. Thanks for watching!

Glad to hear the video will help out with the job. Thanks for watching.

Great news! Glad to hear the video was helpful! Your Cherokee will look great when done! Thanks for watching!

Great news! Glad the video was helpful! Hope it all goes well (I'm confident it will!)

Thanks for the tips, and glad the video was helpful

Now, why do you have to come here and bring logic into the mix? Lol. Truthfully, I didn't even think if that, and was just working with what I have. As long as the car was supported safely, it would be worth a try

Awesome, thanks for the great feedback! Appreciate it!

No problem at all. Glad you found the video, and that it will be helpful. Love to hear about family projects too! Good luck, drop a line and let me know how it went.

Nexus Auto I will let you know. The only part that makes me nervous is the drilling part lol

@@learningtofishkeep665 I get that for sure. It is a bit tricky, but just take your time with it, and you guys will be good to go. Looking forward to hearing about the results!

Nexus Auto thanks again for this video man. It was so smooth when we did it. My Jeep looks so much better with the lift! 👍

@@learningtofishkeep665 Awesome! Glad to hear it all went smooth! Looks amazing, I bet. Watch your clearances now. The owner of the jeep had some parking issues in his underground parking area LOL. Happy to hear the vid was helpful!

Awesome, thanks for the great feedback. Hopefully the video helps you get a lift kit installed too!

LOL thanks, I'll take it :D Glad to hear the video was good!

Great news...glad the video was helpful. Hopefully the lift kit install goes well for ya

Thanks...appreciate it! Hope it helps out!

Thanks, much appreciated. Glad the video helped out

Awesome news. Great to hear you will get one! Enjoy!

@@NexusAuto just ordered today and will be in tomorrow. guess what my weekend plans are...

@@jordanvaughan8808 Hey hey, I don't think I have to guess on this one! Sounds like you got a great weekend project going! Let me know how it goes

No problem at all! Awesome to hear from you! Cheers from Canada! 🍻

Thanks, glad the video was helpful. Funny thing is, I never even thought of lubricants when putting it all together. That is a great point, and a helpful tip for future videos. Thanks for posting!

Thanks! Mopar is in my veins, but to be fair, many other car manufacturers flow through too! 😂😂

Thanks, much appreciated. I always provide torque specs of the numbers exist, and there are numbers for the suspension components. They actually sell torque wrenches. As in....actual wrenches with torque readings on them. I never bothered to buy them and don't know how accurate they are, but they do exist lol. I don't imagine most people will have it anyways. At least you know the number expectations, so you can try and gauge how tight you have to go

Thanks, much appreciated

For the 42:19, this is very true, but I wanted to make this video following the instructions as closely as possible (mediocre as they are). If anyone wants to pursue this on their own, for sure! Great tip for 45:41, thanks

That's awesome news. Glad to hear the video helped out. Thanks for the great feedback

Bottle jack is a great idea! Glad to hear you got the kit installed.

How did everyone's rubber break lines fit after

@@casperseibel7865 Can't speak for everyone, but after the small struggles you see in the video, everything has been fine. I completed this in 2019, and had the owner back in 2020 and rechecked everything. All nuts and bolts were still secure, and brake lines still holding strong. Hopefully you will get other perspectives from viewers as well.

Nice idea! I like that. Sounds good to me

Thanks. And true. There's a lot of things I could do to make this easier (like using power tools). But I always try and make these videos as per instructions, if possible, and with more readily available tools. But loosening those bolts would make it easier for sure

@@NexusAuto that's understandable. This is actually a pretty crucial step that should've been included in the instructions, but as demonstrated in your video the instructions aren't exactly bang on. If the bolts aren't loosened to allow the bushing to rotate freely into it's new position it will wear prematurely due to the extra torsion the rubber portion will experience through normal operation.

@@stevealan2289 100% agree. Should've been included in the instructions for sure

Thanks! Appreciate it. Good luck on the install!

I know, it's true. I keep saying I should invest in one...they are pretty cheap. But I always end up buying some other tool! Lol. But it's a very good tip and I 100% agree!

Thanks! Appreciate the great feedback. Thanks for watching!

No problem at all. Glad the video helped out!

Haha I may try that myself.

Tell me about it! What a difference power tools they made

Thanks, much appreciated. Glad it will be helpful

LOL What can I say? This video is a good enabler. I guess it's time to get that lift!

Awesome news! Glad the install went well. Thanks for the great feedback!

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback.

Possibly. I don't want to say yes for sure, since I didn't try it, but it may actually work. Worth a shot for someone to try, as long as the person is careful not to damage the tie rod itself. It's possible

No problem at all. Thanks for the great feedback

Awesome. Hope it all goes well! Thanks for watching

Very good tip. Didn't think of that. Good tip for future viewers

No problem

You got it, it is for leveling the Cherokee, not a full front and rear lift. I had heard great things about the MFC one too. Glad to hear it is working out great so far...I like hearing stories like that.

@@NexusAuto outstanding work on this video. It’s so great to this kind of thing covered in such detail. It’s highly highly needed when doing any of this yourself. Keeps the blood pressure low for all of us garage wrenchers.

@@ChuckUnderFire Thanks, I appreciate that. Low blood pressure is a must in jobs like these LOL

No problem at all!

Thanks, appreciate it.

Great to hear. Glad the video helped out!

Awesome, glad to hear it will help! Thanks for watching!

@@NexusAuto gonna start my lift this week ill let you know how it went

@@willdogg0705 definitely keep me posted! Looking forward to hearing about the results+

@@NexusAuto got the lift on today. definitely helps to have another set of hands. I had my buddy stand on the rotor to help push the knuckle down and it made it a fast process. thanks again for the vid it helped a lot

@@willdogg0705 No problem at all. Glad to hear the job went well. A second set of hands is a definite plus! Thanks for the great feedback! Enjoy your new ride height! :)

No problem at all. Glad to hear it helped out. That's awesome news!

Thanks! Awesome feedback!! 👍🏾

Awesome! Thanks for the great feedback! Appreciate it!

Thanks, appreciate the great feedback. Glad the video helped out

I know, I agree. I wish had thought of that after filming. It made a nice difference.

Thanks for the tip and glad the video was helpful

One thing I was taught years ago, you torque the nuts not the bolt. The bolt can hang up you torque it, the nut can still be loose.

@@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on To each their own I suppose. I work on multi million dollar aircraft and my manuals tell me I can torque the bolt head as long as I add 10% to the torque.

No problem at all! Glad the video helped out. Hmmmm... I'm trying to envision your suggestion...just thinking of any safety issues with that. I suppose that would work. As long as nothing slips or flies off, should give you a bit of a second set of 'hands'. Just be careful if you do that...I can see the wrench possibly popping off

That is a great question, but not one I have the answer to. Maybe someone else can answer. I did not measure the before and after of this car, so I do not know the measure differences and how it correlates to your car. Hopefully someone else has done so here.

@@NexusAuto but amazing video by the way brother! Im very mechanically inclined but your video helped tremendously. Keep up the great work and great videos!

@@ejbashwinger81 Thanks. Appreciate that feedback. Glad to hear the video helped out.

Thanks, appreciate it. Glad to hear the video works for you! I can answer your questions! Before answering the questions, just as a preface, this is not my car, but a clients car. This is the details for you. 1. At the time of the install, the tires were 245/5.5R17. They fit perfectly, no issue at all. Afterwards, the owner upgraded to KO2 tires that were 245/75R17. This did cause rubbing and he brought it back to me so we can modified the wheel wells. I had to remove the plastic lining, used a grinder to grind down the pinch wells, and then heat and modify the plastic once reinstalled. No rubbing anymore 2. I did not take out the lug threads. Many chrysler products use lug nuts that are also the studs. Sp when you take out the lugs, the studs come with them. If you haven't seem them before, they look like this partsavatar.ca/2014-2019-jeep-truck-cherokee-wheel-lug-bolt-dorman-autograde-611-005?gclid=Cj0KCQiA0fr_BRDaARIsAABw4Eu9nNPtubNvLclcUdRDlaWsa0roiQPhPrVEjhRdRBsDrA8v2ywlGdcaApq8EALw_wcB I only ever see this style on Chyslers and German cars. Hope this helps

Thanks for the like and sub! If you decide to do it, let me know how it goes!
