Default Lift Installed Today


Whoa, what a day! My son-in-law, Isaac and I installed the 3" Full Traction Budget Boost with M-Force Shocks. Had a few problems. There were no 'crush sleeves' for the front shocks but because I have the Rubicon, we were able to 'steal' them from the sway-bar disconnect links that we didn't use. Also, the rear tires rubbed on the rear sway-bar links and we had to move the links to the inside. Once I centered the steering wheel, the 'ESP' stopped activating. The ride is great and the Jeep looks 100% better, except my wife is too short and wants me too look for a step-bar (I won't be looking too hard, tho).

Crush sleeves? Are you talking about isolation bushings? I've been up for 36 hours, so things are getting fuzzy.

Looks great! If you do go with a step for the wife, look for a retractable option.

I had the same problem with the rear sway bar links. If you get wheels with less backspacing you can put them back on the outside. If you look at the write-up that Eddie did on Project-JK he notes that at the end. Nice looking Jeep!
