@kevinclevenger8741 very true.. right now though, I have a couple other things I need to work on before I even consider that. Also, my WK is mostly my daily or the rig I use if I need to tow a trailer, with some mild off roading duties :). Maybe some day, when I "run out of things to do"
@Rob-Erto I have Bilstein struts on the front, which have an adjustable spring perch which gives it 2" in the front. In the rear I have some 2" spacers that I got off Amazon. Detroit axle (stock style) UCAs and ball joints. I had those on for 4+ yrs with no issue, except recently I noticed the boots on the upper joints were cracked. I recently got some "deeke" (Amazon special) UCAs which are adjusted for the lift, they look like a china knock off of the JBA ones. Just put those on recently, but my videos are a bit behind so that probably won't show up for a few months :)
@@idkwidgarage right on. Not sure why I thought you had the Rough Country lift. That's what I did on my wk but kept the stock uca and ball joints. Somethings bent somewhere because we couldn't get the alignment right so I put on 1 spc adjustable upper ball joint. That's been perfect but now I need to do the other side. Was thinking I'd do the JBA uca. I saw those Chinese ones too and didn't want to trust it.
I like the wk model with the 5.7 hemi.but I would have to straight axle swap it .
Yeah, I have thought about that too...
@@idkwidgarage it would make the wk a lot better jeep

Did it fix the clicking? I'd definitely watch an axle swap vid 👍
Yeah it doesn't seem to be making the noise I was hearing when coasting anymore.
Probably not gonna be an axle swap on the WK anytime soon 😄 (if ever)
@@idkwidgarage you have the R.C. spacer lift on there, right? What upper ball joints are you using?

@Rob-Erto yeah we will see how they hold up, so far so good 🤞
