Hi JKOs, my girlfriend and I just purchased a 2013 JK and I am trying to install a Teraflex 2.5" lift on it (1251000 w/ shocks) Back is done and put together but having all kinds of issues putting the front back together. Nothing is lining up. Mainly control arms and trackbar. I'm just using 2 floor jacks and jack stands . Any words of advice or any local JKOs willing to help for beer n food?! Any help appreciated

 

Location?....

 

Illinois........

 

Try using a couple small ratchet straps to help pull it in place after you get one side with bolts in it.

I had a buddy on one end pushing the side so I could get the bolt back in on track bar. Wish I was closer I would be there.

 

We tried straps to get control arms in.....now it's just the trackbar that won't line up....is it supposed to be so hard?! Just wanted to save $600+ that 4 shops quoted me

 

Would putting the wheels on and then lowering the body down help align everything up?

 

Turn the steering wheel to line it up.

 

Two different ways to do it. Jack up one side of axle usually passenger side amd that'll push axle over or put ratchet around axle c to opposite side of frame and ratchet til trackbar lines up

 

x2, with the wheels on the ground install the track bar on the frame (top) side first. Then have some one turn the steering wheel so that you can align the track bar to the axle mount. That method worked easily for me....
