BDS 3" Lift for Wrangler
JK Rubicon
A new lift for the
jeepfan.com JK
-page 4-
Installing the Rear
Raise the Jeep
and support by jack stands under the frame
in front of the rear control arm mounts.
We also add additional support for the rear of the
Jeep with a high lift jack under the rear
bumper. Keep the rear axle supported by a
floor jack at close to ride height for now.
Remove the
wheels. Remove the shocks, disconnect the
rear track bar at the frame, and unbolt the sway
bar at the frame mounts.

 TIP:
Unhook the parking brake cables from the
hooks on the bottom of the body. This will
allow the axle to lower further making the
springs easier to remove and install.
Also, unbolt the bracket that holds the brake
line to the frame.
Lower the axle on
the jack and watch for the brake lines, ABS
wires, and axle vent tubes to become tight.
Remove the rear springs and install the new
ones.

Install the bump stop spacers into the pad using
the supplied fasteners. Raise the axle
with the jack just until the Jeep is about to
lift off the jack stands. Install the sway
bar spacers to the sway bar using the supplied
fasteners. Install the shocks.
