lift, track bar, LCA Installation Question?
 
I am going to install my lift this weekend and wanted to ask if there is any order that I should install these components?

TF 2.5" coil lift
JKS front track bar
TF LCA's

Well anyone care to share? Does it matter which is done first? Will doing one install make the other things go on easier or more difficult?:thinking:

The instructions that comes with the kit was very helpful....I just installed my TF 2.5" coil lift last week by myself (Havent installed the front LCAs yet), but the JK drives fine...Aside from what the others recommended, you should start w/lifting the rear first, then proceed with the front. As for the rear track bar bracket, if it doesnt line up properly, just use a pry bar to open the stock bracket enough for the TF bracket to line up. For the front I didnt have to use a spring compressor. What helped the axles droop just enough was loosening the control arm bolts & removing the transmission skid plate if you have an auto trans..Good luck on your install and post some pix when you can :thumbsup:

I installed my lift last year and I did lift first, control arms and then track bar. One tip on the controls arms, DO NOT tighten while they are up in the air. After you put the tires back on, set the vehicle down on it's own weight and then tighten the CA's to spec.

Installing the track bar first can make the CA installation a bit easier because the axle will already be centered.

When you install the CAs then all you have to do is align it.
