Enforcer 3" installation

Can the drag link be too long for a 2015?

hmm, your steering wheel move while taking off the old one? i'm not at home and out of town, so i can't take a picture. any chance you can take a picture to see whats going on? might help with this.

My new drag link is about 1" to 1.5" too long compared to the old one. With the drag link on there the steering wheel is upside down with the wheels straight ahead. The ends are butted together in the sleeve!

almost sounds like your steering wheel moved and your pitman arm is off.

Take some pics. Is the jeep on the ground ?

 

[olram30]

i just went back and he has it on stands. i'd put it on the ground and start over

 

[olram30]

when i did mine i was paranoid about moving the wheel and strapped it in place.

I've got it figured out I believe. The pitman arm curves to the drivers side and I was wrong thinking the gear was centered.

I think you can damage the clock spring if the wheel is not strapped.

I.removed the metal brackets on both front brake hoses. Where is everyone running the brake hoses on the front? Letting them hang between the shock and spring? Letting them hang behind on the front shock? Tying them down?

I have mine zip tied to the shock body behind it, it works well for me

I'm getting ready to install this same lift. My question is about the LCA's. It says to start the length off at 22 7/8" from center holes in the joints. And length will change after professional alignment, using the OnVehicle adjuster. Are these adjusters a common/ normal way to do an alignment? Do I need to tell the folks at the shop about them, or how to use them, because I'm not really sure myself.
Looks like you just loosen the pinch bolts and turn the adjuster ( is a special tool needed ) ?

You loosen the lock nut and you can turn the collar easily with a Phillips or anything that fits in the adjuster then you adjust your caster to 4.2 degrees, Eddie has a great write up here on alignment in jeep tech

Ok thanks I'll check that out. The place I'm getting my tires said they would do a free alignment for me. So I wasn't sure. I see the holes in the adjuster, like in the pic here


I was thinking a special tool. So those holes are just to help with turning it?

Ok, thanks. Now I see it. Makes sense now.

I cut and removed the factory brake lines from the original bracket and slipped a new zip tie into the black original retainer. Worked ok...not perfect.

What hardware do you use to install rear swaybar links. Kit didn't come with any and the stock ones only the bottom nut an bolt are removable. The top is part of the swaybar an grease fitting
