Yeah trust me i like to do things myself rather than paying these ridiculous labor prices now a days unless i'm getting something custom built. After i installed the lift i had it taken to 4wheelparts to re torque and adjust control arms so it was done "professionally". But come to find out they are worthless around here unless you know someone who works there.

Quick question. I have just ordered the 2.5 max travel for my 2010 rubicon. I also ordered the grade 8 hardware kit from Northridge. I have read that I will have to drill out the control arm bushings to make the new bolts fit. Further reading has lead me to believe that this isn't the case on newer control arm joints. Anyone know for certain which it is? I'd prefer not to have to drill and may cancel the bolt order if I do.

Thanks

The new lower arm joints are 9/16. Old joints were not.

I'm pretty much decide on the 2.5 FLEX system for my 14' JKU. Now I'm having trouble deciding between shocks to match up. Help me decide. I would like the option to rebuild or revalve.

-King replacements
-King replacements with res
-Fox
-Fox with res
-RK
-Icon

All 2.0 series. Thinking 4-6 length, would that be correct with 2.5 of lift and 35's?

Thanks
