Last night (with the help of my buddy) we swapped my JK Sport springs 14/57 to 18/59 and Rubicon springs along with the Pro Comp (Daystar Comfort Lift) 1.75" Spacer lift. Looks like I gained around 3", I forgot to take before measurements

Didn't run into many issues, the ESP light came on after we adjusted the drag link. After a few more tweeks it went off and drives great, no DW or rattles but my steering wheel is slightly off center.

I'm assuming most (if not all) guys do an alignment after adding a lift? Do people do a front end only, or a 4-wheel alignment?

 

No such thing has a front end only alignment, even though there is nothing to adjust in the rear other than your track bar if you have a aftermarket one they still need to put the sensors on the wheels.

And yes I would get one.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Lots of shops offer a two wheel alignment in Winnipeg for around $45-$50 and a 4-wheel alignment for $70+

 

I'm getting ready to basically do the same lift to my 12' jk Rubi, but going with 18/59s and teraflex leveling kit. Sure would like to see some pics!

 

Good to hear you got them installed. Definitely get an alignment and make sure they center your steering wheel. Off center steering sends the wrong message to your traction control system.

 

Anytime, let me repeat again anytime you change or readjust anything that has to do with your suspension, get a realiginment done. It will save you from the heartache later.

 

You should really read the writes up in this forum on how to recenter your steering wheel. WayOfLife did a pretty damn good write-up on a home alignment.

I always get it aligned after any work on my suspension. I pay for unlimitted alignments.

 

Thanks again for the good deal

With regards to the wheel being off center:

We set of the drag link and had the wheel dead centered, we went for a test drive and the traction lights came on. We had to adjust the drag link an 8th of turn and it corrected the traction lights and the car drives good, but the wheel is ever so slightly off.
