Hardest thing? Clock spring? I'm not sure what you're referring to but, depending on what if any adjustable components you install with your kit, there really isn't a whole lot for you to align and none of it would involve the potential for damaging your clockspring. Recentering your steering wheel just requires a 15mm wrench and a couple of minutes of your time - you don't even need to lift your Jeep off the ground. :yup:



Spring compressors are totally NOT needed to install a lift. If you're installing the kit right, absolutely ZERO effort is needed to remove and install coils. This is a shot of me installing a 4" TF lift coils (more like 5") with ease and NO spring compressor. :yup:

My steering wheel was upside down, I drove it a few miles to check things out before adjusting the drag link, this broke the clock spring which had to be replaced. I should have said don't drive it with the wheel upside down. :)

The lift on this jeep went on fine without compressors (RE 3.5"), the lift on my 08JKU did not and the springs had to be compressed (RC 4")

I don't know, I've never had the need to use compressors even with 4.5" coils. :idontknow:
 
A buddy of mine brough his compressors over and it ended up being more trouble to use then than it was worth when we put my lift on.

Rancho has a 3" option now too. The 9000's are good shocks but I would be willing to try out their new monotube shocks.

Eddie, I absolutely love my new RS9000xl 's. I had a 20 mile drive from the shop and thought oh Sh@*! this is a rough ride. I later found all shocks were set to the max. I dialed them down yesterday and I hit pay dirt. Loving it!

We've run a set before and the adjustability of them is definitely nice. I only wish I had the in-cab adjuster.
