Really? So, when it drops by itself with no one sitting in the Jeep for several days, whose butt do I blame?


My regards,

I had to add I have the opposite problem - I wish mine would go lower!

Maybe Jeep should have put height requirements on the purchase of a JK cause they seem to have problems making parts that actually work!!

The height adjustment handle is very easy to remove. I removed mine to paint them.


If you see the large circle in the middle of the handle this can be pried out (VERY GENTLY! I broke a small clip molding off when I did mine but silicone glue came to the rescue). Once the cover (circle) is off there is a large "torx" bolt that holds the handle on. All the rest of the smaller handles use the "c" clip method but the large height adjusting handle uses a bolt. Simple!

Yeah, it's probably the same plastic c-clip that holds the transfer case lever cable on!
