- Normally, what we work on goes up, but this time it's goin down!
We installed Skyjacker Suspensions LowJacker kit onto this JL to make it easier for the customer to get in and out of! Check it out!

I don't go off roading or drive SUV's. But making the wrangler look more like tankish station wagon makes this very appealing to me.
That's what's so great about the Wrangler, it's basically the most customizable vehicle on the planet!
Sucks there isn't more stuff like this for Wranglers or Gladiators. I got a 2 door and am making a street and drag strip setup out of it and am looking to buy this kit eventually. It would be nice if a company made traction bars as well. Almost into the 12 second range 1/4 mile right now with my JL Sport. Also would be nice to find a sticky street and track radial that is about 31" tall, biggest I could find that will fit on the factory 17" alloy is 27.8" tall, and I think that would look kind of weird even with the truck lowered 2.5", even though the tires are 305 wide. I know Toyo makes a Proxes STIII that is considered a sport truck tire but was looking more a long the lines of something stickier like an NT05R.
Very cool build! Did you see the drift Jeep that Currie built? It would be really neat to see a breakdown of what all they did on that suspension, what tires and wheels they're running, etc.
@@MountZionOffroad yes I have seen that build. I'd like to know as well, might give some insight to roughly what size of wheel setup they used.
I wonder if you can fit 33s like that?
I like it!
Always cool to see a shift from the normal--thanks for watching!
I want a wagon with a manual, but given what's available on the market, this might have to do.
Search this looking to see if it could be done to improve handling
Would probably help your little ones up in the back
LOVE IT!!! So how much did this affect/improve the ride and handling? I"m looking at buying a JK soon and plan on doing this very thing as it will rarely if ever be off pavement/gravel roads. Thanks!
Improved handling characteristics come from the fact that it lowers the center of gravity. Ride is not dramatically affected, if anything just a little stiffer.
does anybody know which model black max shocks they used for the lowering springs? looking to do something like this and want to make sure it's the correct shock!
Any chance you would know if this could work on a standard 392? No plans of taking it off road.
Awesome video! I have a JK and wanted to do just the 2 - 2.5" springs. Skyjacker tech knows nothing about tire sizes so do you know how big I could go? 285/75/16?
Are you raising or lowering your JK?
@@MountZionOffroad I want to lower it.
call it the hell jacker
Hello, do you know if it could be purchased in germany?
Do not know, sorry!
Any word on how this set up has been now 6 month or so after this video was made ?
We have not received any complaints from the customer so we have to assume he's just as happy as the day he picked it up!
I have 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4XE. Will this LowJacker kit work as 4XE got the extra battery weight?
We have not yet had the opportunity to do any suspension work on the 4XE model. Looking at Skyjacker's vehicle chooser on their site they don't offer any suspension products for them either, so I suspect that means they haven't fully developed any suspension components specifically for them yet. It wouldn't hurt to reach out to them, they've likely done some testing and may at least be able to speak to any major challenges with using their JL Lowjacker kit on the 4XE.
Does anyone make adjustable air lift for the Wrangler so you can lower it for street and raise for off road?
Air suspension for offroad? That sounds like a pretty stupid idea.
@@cheeko_914 i mean it is a thing for some guys check out Exodus 4x4 there was a build on there that was super cool you should check it out it will definitely gonna change your opinion cause i thought the same too !

About $10k
Is the steering wheel going to be centered tho 🤔
Of course, we wouldn’t let it leave without being properly aligned
Will it rub 33 x 10 tire?
Factory are a 32x10 so a 33x10 might rub, but probably not significantly. Remember the JL comes with 33" tires on the Rubicon, and that surely has more than 2" of up travel so at most, minimal trimming or possibly longer bump stop is all that should be needed to make sure they don't rub in any situation
Can this work for a 2 door?
Yes
how much do you guys charge to lower this?
shoot us an email or give a call and we can get you current pricing! www.mountzionoffroad.com/contact
Did this improve gas mileage? Is it a big change in performance when off-roading? Obviously can no longer ford 30 inches of water, but…?
Fuel economy was not the reason it was lowered, and the change with factory tires should be negligible. This Jeep does not go off road, and we would never recommend lowering one you'd take off road.
Where are you located, and curious the cost?
Dover PA!
What’s the coast?
@@oumlowe8885 It's the edge of land where it connects to water.
@@MountZionOffroad Seriously? I didn't even think about the fact you're called Mount Zion.
@@sijonda yes, the address is on our website 😎
Shame, can't find anything for my TJ.
My intent is to switch between lowering as far as I can while retaining the factory arm mounts with factory sized 27" tires and when I need to run trails and winter season, raise it back to factory height with 29" or 30" tires.
Unfortunately there is no easy way to do that without going to a fully custom suspension
Lowered jeeps look way better
why though
Better stability & cornering in the “everyday world”.
