anyone who has done a gamechanger ARB install, can you list the amount of time start to finish and how much help you had? website says 6-8 hours easy bolt on. would like that put in perspective.

 

It took about 7 hrs two people with a hydraulic lift

 

Get the arms adjusted ahead of time and it will go pretty fast. 6 hours two guys, 8 hours alone.

 

I have a 2-post lift. I installed it over a weekend. Approx 12 hours. I also installed a sector shaft brace, and new tie rod, steering stabilizer, and front shock relocation brackets at the same time. The parts themselves could easily be bolted on in 8 hours, but there is a lot of three steps forward, and two back if you are checking bump stops and shock lengths.

I will tell you that I don't think it would be very easy without a lift or something to safely get your Jeep up fairly high. The MC coils are VERY long and the axles have to drop a ton to get them in without compressing them.

 

The company that installed my game changer did it in about 3.5 hours.

for people talking about driveshaft. no matter what you do you will have to replace driveshafts eventually. its just a matter of how long and this depends on driving habits and lift height.

a quote from someone else who just posted today on another forum:

 

It's a fact. The MC coils have one of the longest extended lengths. I had to compress the coils quite a bit to get my stock driveshaft bolted up. One good flex and that thing is toast.

 

Currie 4" is the only longer ones ive seen. A few are damn close to mc though...just an fyi...

 

Question. Both my axles are shifted slightly to the driver side. I only have the adjustable track bar on the front. The rear trackbar bracket has two sets of holes in it, top and lower. I don't see anything about using the lower holes.

This is with the 2.5" coils on a JKU. Is it best to keep the front and back equally offset? Are those lower holes on the rear bracket for the 2.5?

 

The lower hole is just a datum for when they make the brackets. I think they are in the process of making a shorter bracket but don't know when it will be available. The problem you are having is your trackbar is now too long due to the 6"raise. The only way the stock bar will be perfect is if the bracket raised the mount the exact same as your lift. An adjustable bar will also correct this.
