Begin by installing the fixed end of the spring, install the bolt and nut but leave loose for now. We chose to use our own steel caster shims and removed the OME ones. Doing this requires holding the spring pack together with a clamp or the leaves will separate. With the shims install install the …
Installation of the Old Man Emu YJ Springs in a CJ is nearly the same as installing regular CJ springs. Before tearing into the Jeep we took a little time to prep the springs by lubricating and installing the bushings and sleeves into the springs. Take care of bushing installation since there are different bushings for …
After the installation of the lift and tires on the jeepfan.com 2016 JKU RHR we experienced some wandering on the road. It wasn’t terrible but we wanted to return the Jeep to near original driving feel. Often the wandering is due to the loss of caster from the increase of lift. To put it simply …
Continuing on from the HD Hinged Carrier installation part of our $3K JK we are now at the point of installing the Teraflex Adjustable Tire Mount. There are a few options here and depending on your installation you may need to proceed differently. Both kits come with a few spacers that are used in different applications. …
First a bit of review of our $3K JK Project and where we have been. We installed a lift, wheel spacers, and 35″ tires on the Jeep and our next step is getting the 35″ spare mounted properly to the back of the Jeep. A 35″ may fit on the stock carrier depending on the wheel but without …
The next step in the $3K JK Project is to install a set of wheel spacers to prepare for the larger tires. We have decided to use the 315/70R17 (35″) Goodyear Duratrac tires on our JK with the beautiful stock Hard Rock wheels. Side note, heard these wheels called the Rubicon snow flake? The JK …
In the Teraflex 2.5″ Budget Boost Install we did as part of the $3K JK Project we decided to add to the lift by adding a set of Teraflex Forged Adjustable Track Bars to the front and rear of our JK. Teraflex says they are 230% stronger than stock and just handling them you can feel the …
If you have a 2011 to 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK and plan on lifting it you will need to deal with the front brake lines. In 2011 Jeep added a bracket that attaches to the bottom of the spring perch just in front of the bottom shock mount. This bracket is useful to keep the …
Continuing on from Page 2. At this point it’s time to start putting things back together. Push the Teraflex spacer up onto the bumpstop tube then push on the original spring isolator. It should hold itself in place while you install the bumpstop extension. Put some grease on the top of the extension and use …
Continuing from Page 1 in the rear after the springs have been installed. Jack up the rear slowly observing for anything that may bind. When the axle is near ride height install the shock extensions, like when they were removed install one bolt to help hold the shock in place, install the shock then the …
