Hello,

I just traded my 2011 JK Sport for a 2009 Rubicon. So far I love the rubicon and I'm so glad I made the switch.

The Rubicon already has a lift, 35s and a couple others which is great. The only problem is that I'm not sure what kind of lift it has.

Can anyone help me identify what kind of lift this is? It has Tera Flex control arms, gray coils and bilstein shocks.

Also here is a link of the JK: w ww.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&csDlId=&csDgId=&listin gId=79517537&listingRecNum=1&criteria=sf1Dir%3DDES C%26mkId%3D20021%26stkTyp%3DU%26mdId%3D26381%26rd% 3D100%26crSrtFlds%3DstkTypId-feedSegId-mkId-mdId-trId%26zc%3D28340%26rn%3D0%26PMmt%3D1-1-1%26stkTypId%3D28881%26sf2Dir%3DASC%26sf1Nm%3Dpric e%26sf2Nm%3Dmiles%26isDealerGrouping%3Dfalse%26trI d%3D24750%26rpp%3D50%26feedSegId%3D28705&aff=natio nal&listType=1

Thanks

I'm watchin football right now, I forgot to say,,, if it was mine I would make sure the coils are seated, the jeep sits level, look for rock rash underneath, and take a torque wrench and torque everything under it. It rally doesn't matter as long as its in good condition. Keep an eye on the arm bushings.

torque values for you to check. Bookmark it, you will need it.

It might be an AEV lift; comes with gray progressive coils and Bilsteins. Many put other brand control arms on them since they do not down with them.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Any idea on how I could figure out the type of lift? Like 3 or 4 inch or even if its a long or short arm lift.

You made me listen to that woman again to watch the video,,, , anyway, those are stock length arms. The amount of lift most likely is a 3.5 to/or 4. The Coils do look progressive as the coil looks to wind tighter as it gets to the top.
