I just used the impact on mine LOL. I loosened them so that they'd relax with the new suspension and then torqued them on the ground. the front lower frame end bolts I had to use the impact on them to get them up to 190 ft lbs.

Yeah, told you! The JLs are pretty easy to work on. Although the 3.6 seems worse to work on than the 3.7.

Looks great! How did the install go?

Agreed. It's honestly the biggest annoyance with the JL! And not only is it the wrong direction, it's the wrong order.

Clean now!

I still got the stock dampener. I've read about some dampeners making it pull, but I'll probably have to replace the stock one eventually. I don't think I'm going to do trackbars until the stock ones are bad. LCAs, maybe maybe not, it drives great. The lift install is pretty easy for just...

I know! It looks disgusting. Need to wash it!

Thanks!!

Installed the Dynatrac 2" Endurosport lift this weekend. Quadratec showed a 5-6 week back order and Northridge showed it as discontinued, so I ordered it and it showed up 3 days later, so that was awesome. Install went smooth, loosened all the control arms front and rear and retorqued on the...

I'll measure mine today or next time I have it in the garage on flat ground. I think mine has some sagging going on, especially from the winch (added a 3/4" spacer up front but still think it sags). My understanding is that there's no such thing as "Rubicon" springs, but that higher optioned JLs...

Congrats! Welcome to the JL Club! It's the only thing Jeep makes now that can kind of replace the KJ! (But I still love my KJ!)

Neither of them took hardly any weight and they both ride very smooth. I'd honestly go with whatever you can get a better deal on and which you can get sooner if you're in a rush. I'd say the Toyos are a tad more aggressive than the Nokains.

Just pull the skid plate off, I had a 10mm socket live there for a few months before I pulled the skid and found it.

Never have. I've wondered about running a rubicon sway bar from a JK or JL on the KJ though, but probably isn't worth the effort and/or risk of damaging something. I worry about over extending and breaking a brake line or a CV.

Toyo Open Country AT3s. Have them on both the JL and KJ. And the Nokain Outpost ATs on the LR3. All are great tires, I'd say the Toyos are a little more aggressive and do better off road, but still are very quiet and light weight. The Nokains are silent on road and ride great.
