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 …

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 …
The first major upgrade to the jeepfan.com 2016 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock is the installation of a lift. Like we described in our introduction article we indicated that we would use the Teraflex 2.5″ Budget Boost system. This system is simple but yet very comprehensive and provides all you need to get your Jeep some …
Who sits waiting for they Jeep parts to come..like a dog waiting for the mailman we spring to life when we hear the sound of the UPS truck coming up the street. Our Teraflex parts came it’s like Christmas. These parts are part our our $3K JK Project
