I aready own the lift-
I’m about to install the RE 3.5" standard lift on a 4 door 2010 auto and have a couple questions.
This will be 99% on road.

The more I read the less I like the cam bolts that come with.
For the front Im thinking AEV bracket or some fixed arms.
Is anyone running cam bolts?

For the rear do people install the cam bolts? I notice that some 3.5" lifts don't have cam bolts or arms for the rear. Let me know what you did.

How bad is it to adjust the track bar? The last lift I did came with bracket so I did not have to mess with it.

Drive shaft with auto will it need to be replace if this is not flexed?

What type of aliment shop should I take it to after the lift? If anyone has a good shop western suburbs of Chicago let me know.

The reason I went with this lift is I had it on my TJ and it was great.
Any other info would be great. It’s been a while since I have done this. I just got 2010 JKU in AUG- I was having withdrawal, Can’t seem to drive anything else and be happy

Thank in advance-

Stay away from cam bolts. They are for steering geometry, unless you have rear steering you don't use them back there. The AEV brackets would be a much better alternative.
It is easy to center the steering wheel and you should not need a driveshaft if just running on the road. You also don't need a 3.5" lift to run on road, but that is another discussion.

I hear the rear cam bolts are for pinion angle. Is that needed for 3.5" lift

Tooadvanced

Nope. And dirtman is the supreme authority on suspension lifts so take all advice he gives

I also have this lift. It works great, I used the cam bolts. I just replaced my rear axle tonight and on my new axle I did not use the cam bolts. it just does not make that big of a difference. I have never had them loosen up on my axles though.

AEV brackets (or Rancho) are an excellent way to correct geometry, though they do sacrifice a tiny bit of ground clearance. I have them and love them.

I would stay away from cam bolts.

You don't need an alignment shop. All they are going to do is re center your steering wheel, which takes five minutes with simple hand tools and the write up on this forum.

Yep ... Here's the Rancho's

Rear uppers are good for pinion angle esp with a 2 door and shorter shaft.

So here is my plan so far. Let me know what you think, AUTO 4DR RE 3.5 Standard
I will get correction bracket instead of cam bolts in the front -
I leave the rear alone-
Leave stock drive shaft - Not off roading
As for the track bar not sure Does the aliment shop take car of this?

If you can install lift, you can adjust the track bar. all you have to do is loosely install it, measure from a reference point on the frame to somewhere on the axle on each side passenger and driver, and adjust accordingly. I did this after I finished the lift and had the vehicle back on the ground

It does help to have someone to turn the steering wheel back and forth to line the holes up in the track bar
