Thanks for pointing that out. I looked up the part number and it's a 2" afterall.

No problem makes you wonder what else is wrong with it. How long has he had it on his jeep?

I have a different companies 2.5" lift and after having it without caster correction for a few months, I'm going to be getting the AEV geometry correction plates. They run $100 and I would seriously look into them if you're just doing some light wheeling.

X2 on the geometry correction brackets. I did a frankenlift last spring and it drove terribly. Best 100 bucks I've spent yet!

Did you get the lift??

Picking it up tomorrow.

What do these AEV correction plates do? I'm poking around the internet now to learn more...

They correct the caster, and they also flatten the control arm angle.

When you lift the suspension, the axle tilts, which raises the pinion, and lowers the caster. Low caster causes flighty steering. If you choose to raise the caster, you need to lower the pinion. To do that, you get cam bolts, longer/shorter fixed control arms, adjustable control arms ... or these brackets.

I would add anti-seize and a paint marker to the list to mark the nuts/bolts after torquing.

I agree with everyone else. I did my RC 2.5" in my driveway in 8 hours. I did use a cordless impact which sped things up a bit. 4 floor jacks, 3 ton jack and a couple chunks of 4x4 wood scraps, Loctite and a torque wrench. Make sure to go back and re-torque everyting after a couple days of driving just to be on the safe side though.
