Well good luck and have fun! I installed my RK kit and the measurements in the directions for the front control arms were way off for my jeep!

I thought the measurements were off as well but after jacking the axle up and down we finally got them in.

Coming along very nicely. I'd wish you good luck, but don't think you'll need it.:thumb:

Thanks anyways man!

You will really like this lift it flexes like mad. also will hold up very well, i have 15k on mine so far and no issues at all.

I was talking more about my castor angle was only around 2 not the 4-5 for less flighty steering.

When driving the jeep after the lift on stock wheels/tires, my dad noticed a vibration after 25mph... Anybody know what could be causing this??

What is your castor set at?

What is your castor set at?

Not sure, we set the control arms to the lengths provide to us in the rock krawler install book. It is at the shop now getting aligned and wheels/tires put on

With the alignment print out it should have your castor on there. Any Home Depot has a cheap angle finder tool and you can check it very easy.

Did you need to purchase a drop pitman arm? Or is the stock one ok with a 3.5in lift?

Do a drag link flip instead, to run a drop pitman arm you need a drop trackbar bracket.

Your almost at the cost of a flip kit

I believe I have one of those, what's the correct angle and where do I measure it from?

Any brand you recommend?

Is this the same as the rock krawler high steer? Or is it a totally different thing?

 

[seanb33]

Here it is!!! No vibration anymore, must've been an alignment issue

From the first time I had the top off, to as it sits now. Its been a little over a year since I was bitten by the jeep bug and I don't have a single complaint about it!
