2015 jku rubicon
Currently dealing with the front 44 only.
Started with Rancho 4” sport and correction brackets. Still running the 4” springs but with Rancho adjustable upper and lower arms that are going in now along with aftermarket steering components.
44 is on floor jacks but I stopped on the install when I read up on bumpstops. I added gussets/truss /pro steers/ RCV axles to the oem 44. ( I own a fab shop, just utilizing my weld staff on the 44 to see how it holds up until I get a PR44)
New parts list.
4 Rancho adj arms
Oliver’s driveshafts
Stinky fab aluminum tie rod
(Parts below are from a company no longer welcomed around here)
top mount drag link
flip bracket
Adj. track bar
I currently have 2” bumpstops on the coil pads. I’m trying to figure out what size bump stops I will need. What’s the simple route or should I try the absorbing stops?
I’m also trying to gather info regarding control arm lengths to start with. I got lost in the sticky posts last night, could not follow the control arms install very well. I will look it over again, I did learn the lower arms do not adjust the caster like the uppers do.
I’m centering steering wheel and setting the tie rod to the same length that the oem rod was set at.
I’m taking the jeep to a shop for the alignment, I just need to get the thing back together in a functioning manner so that they can dial it in for me.
Thanks for any help! I love wrenching but i just don’t have the knowledge yet when it comes to lifts and geometry.
