Found this video on YouTube..... I figured I'd share it. It's not what I expected from sears. It gives you an idea how easy it is to wrench on your jeep on the weekend. Hope this helps someone.

Also grab a beer and take a sip every time he references day stars shocks! Better grab 2!

 

Sears is hitting the auto market hard with their latest marketing. 3 trucks at SEMA for Sears Craftsman tools.

 

Thaty was painful to watch. I myself would never install 3' spacers, give the spring way too much chance of popping out. This had to been made for business men who never picked up a wrench before and want to impress the office secretary with their new lifted jeep haha.

 

what do they do that's so bad? Dont feel like watching that long ass vid

 

It's nothing bad... They lift two vehicles in that video. The JK is first it's not very long.

 

Why was that painful to watch? I run a 3" spacer up front on my JK and I'm not a business man trying to impress anybody... I also have adjustable trackbars and swaybar links... I will eventually get coils, but I don't see anyhing wrong with spacers if your not a hardcore offroader..

 

Regardless of anyones views on spacer lifts etc... I think its pretty cool that there are shows encouraging guys to start tinkering around and learning about their vehicles. I've met WAAAAAAAAAAAY too many people that didn't even know how to change their own oil.

Just my $0.02...

 

What about the front trac bar? Wouldn't the front axle need to be re-centered after a 3" lift? They didn't show it for the front, just installed a bracket in the rear.
