- Home install average Joes installation. The rear is just bound up enough it may be worth it to loosen the track bar bolt and link bolts to get a little more freedom. We toughed it out with heft and prybars to get the springs back in place. Be careful with your brake hoses and abs wires. They will be near max.

Thx for the vid! I put on the 1.5" level spacer using your tips from the other vid. I got these in hand, and will do the same now to gain back some rear height from a 100lb diamondback tonneau. Keep the good vids coming!
Good to hear Impact. Sorry I missed this comment. It's very much appreciated.
So much fun.
Nice work.
Thank you Chuck.
Super helpful!
About to do the same install with Rubicon take off suspension. Appreciate doing it for me first :P
Hopefully it goes smoothly for you. The rear was definitely more stubborn than the front. If you find it too difficult to get the spacers in there you may have to loosen the control arm bolts at the axle and it should move very easily then.
Looking great bumper next or lights
If you stare at the thumbnail pic real close. ;)
im scheduled to put this plus the terra 1.5 front next weekend w bilstein 5100s. After seeing the rear, i'm not sure I want to do the .75 anymore. The stock rake is bad but the lifted rake seems off. I may leave the rear as is in my max tow.
If I never towed I would leave the rear stock as well. We tow A LOT with this thing. So on the opposite I don't want it to look stupid with tongue weight on it lol. I think 3/4s is the perfect compromise in that case.
I miss having a newer project. Back when I had a TJ there were millions of things to do to it.
It's pretty crazy. I think they are so much like an AR-15. The toys and possibilities are endless! That being said I'm not one for taking things to a point of tacky so there won't be a ton more. ;)
MRBLACK947 you mean you won’t be putting on any stick-on hood vents? They add 5hp each! 😂😂
@@JackofAllTrades1 hahaha, those things boggle my brain cells.
@@JackofAllTrades1 I do want to get a subtle decal that says Mall Crawler High Curb Edition though lol. And a Mall rated decal for the side. Those make me chuckle a bit.
I need to do that for my wife's Oddy because she can't stay off the curb!
I watched this before doing mine very helpful. Unfortunately I seem to have that lose shock knock.... even though torqued mine down to 75 for lowers mount and 85 for uppers. I was wondering if it might be the puck in the rear rubbing against the metal axle? Any advice?
If it's knocking it probably a loose bushing whether it be a shock or a control arm. I've had to go in and fix a few friends and family Jeeps that knocked after suspension work. Its possible it could take more than specified torque to get a bushing sleeve torqued down tight.
I will try and re torque mine and double check everything and see if that helps thank you!
When you say you added the magic box to control the auto start/ stop and change the TPMS, what did you use?
Tazer Lite. It's an awesome module. Even my dealer recommended it. I was going to do a video on it but never did because there are so many others.
Thank you. Yea I really never kno where to start because there are so many.
How is the ride with the new shocks? But I notice they are mounted upside down...
A lot of quality off road shocks are mounted right side up or normal haha. Those are factory Rubicon Fox shocks mounted in their normal orientation. Also you'll notice they have factory stone guards for the shock shafts which is kinda cool. Shock boots are far more damaging IMO.
For that last bit of room could you use a c-clamp to compress the shock just enough?
That's a good question Mike. I'm not sure as it's been too long ago now for me to remember the fine details of the job lol.
@@PNW_Car_Mods fair enough, great video!
Great video. What is the torque values for the top bolt of the sway bar?
At the time I was never able to find it Soumen. I ended up using my calibrated wrists. Never had any problems with this install.
56 Ft Pounds
@@toddrandall2198 Thank you Todd.
@@toddrandall2198 Someone on forums posted a spec that it is 50ftlb to the frame side and 60ftlb on axle side
What were the torque specs for those bolts? Sway bar and shock
Matthew I'm not 100% positive. Do your homework on the internet. I feel like its around 75 foot pounds for the shocks and like 50 or 60 foot pounds on the end link nuts. Tighter is better than looser on shock hardware. Nothing worse than shocks that clunk over every bump.
What was the FOX shock that you used? Was it extra length?
They are take off Fox shocks from a new Rubicon Gladiator. Stock length.
@@PNW_Car_Mods Thank you. Just saw the front 1.5 inch lift video where that was mentioned. Using stock length rear shocks, are rear longer length sway bar end links needed? Using the front shock extension bracket, are front longer length sway bar end links needed? Is there consideration to think you might need to replace the lower front control arm or add front geometry bracket?
So sport springs but rubicon shocks? Just curious as i have rubicon suspension and it gave my sport about an extra 1” and im looking at this lift as well. What size tires?
Ours is a Max Tow so I don't know what the differences are in springs among the gladiators. We gained nothing in height by going to the fox shocks which it shouldn't. Tires are about 34" tall. 295 70 17s
Yeah ok, Im looking to do roughly the same. Already have the rubi suspension/shocks. Plan is daystar 1.5f .75r with 285/75/17. Thanks for the video!
@@betweenthepines4000 I think that will be a pretty sweet combo. I would like to step up to 37s but I know it would completely destroy the gas mileage and also we do tow with our 4 or 5 times a year.
Same here. We plan to tow a 21’ trailer and I think 34” tires is a good compromise with look and off road ability
@@betweenthepines4000 That is the size of our trailer as well. If you are bored I have a video posted about towing a travel trailer with a gladiator and weights and performance. It tows above my expectations.
Exhaust next? That thing is super quiet.
I may be in the minority on this but I absolutely loath the sound of 99% of all the V6s out there. Even if a quality system genuinely offered 20 wheel horsepower, I'm not sure I could do it lol. I'd really have to think about it and want it on the quiet side still.
@@PNW_Car_Mods you’re right and I don’t think you’re in the minority. A V6 with an aftermarket loud exhaust just sounds dumb 😂.... it’s a V6
@@marcinpuszczao9418 I have two neighbors with newer Jeep wranglers that have aftermarket exhaust on them. It's just not an appealing sound.
U cant put an exhaust on a v6 truck!
@@TheLakeShow323 Still stock. I would like to do a 5.7 swap and then exhaust lol. When I win the lottery that I don't play.
Dude, you forgot to put your spring back in.
That will never work!
