I’d echo everything roky says. Lower pressure a bit and add the LCA’s.
I just did this for my buddy’s eco diesel that has a 2” spacer lift and 37’s.

on the ground, I zapped out one side, added the new CA, which fit in without doing anything. The bolts lined up perfectly. Repeat on the other side.
torque to spec and try it out.
This method also worked for mine when it was stock.
GL!

Gl to you guys over in Florida!!!
I intend to transplant there from CA in a couple years.

Thanks.

You wont regret moving from CA to FL thats for sure :D

I’m already there in spirit. Everyone here thinks it too hot.
I just say I’ll get used to it. I only wish DeSantis would still be there. ??‍

 

[Byrds8]

Yeah, I think hes pretty awesome as a Governor. I think he will win again and then go on to be President.

If it wasnt enough, would you just wait and do the adjustable?

For $80 and 15 minutes, its worth doing for a temporary solution. I just wouldn't count on that being a final fix. If your goal is DIRFT, go adjustable. But its only $80, and you can probable sell them for at least half that when you swap to adjustable later. Those are gonna be $200-300 for just front lowers. I plan to swap all 8 arms, trac bars, steering linkage, everything in the spring, ($3k+) so it was worth it to me for a temporary solution.

Like all things; little by little and bit by bit.

Like the rings on your wheels. We have plans to have ours painted to match the body also. Probably the caps too.

Thanks! Once I buy the functional rings, I will have them powder coated, these are just spray painted to match the blue 4xe accents. Sprayed them just to see how I would like the blue rings on a red jeep, and turns out I love it, so I will definitely be getting them powder coated the same color.

I can’t get the powder coating place here to return a call. A paint and body shop said they would color match the rings and center caps for 250 each Jeep. So think we may just do that.

LCAs came in today. However, I am not able to break the old ones loose. Guess these old torn up shoulders arent what they used to be lol. Looks like Ill have to return the torque wrench and pay someone else to do it. Kinda sucks, I wanted to get it done today on my own lol.

 

[mikem20]

If you had a breaker , that would help get them out. If you have bad shoulders, I’d suspect you’d have a really hard time getting the new arms torqued on to 190.

 

[Byrds8]

Have a breaker and still failed. After trying this, I am inclined to agree with you on not being able to torque them.

Make the investment……..

You’ll be wrenching on your rig a lot over the course of ownership, this will make it a lot more fun…… three rat-a-tats and pitman bolt was laying on the floor, takes lca bolts off in a couple of seconds, you will use it more than you think you will right now….. just be careful not to use it on setting 4 when loosening and tightening bolts or the heads of the bolts will be on the floor, ask me how I know…..

A good impact is really nice to have for sure! A must have for me.

 

[Byrds8]

Yeah Ill agree with you there 100%. I have an impact its just not good enough to remove these bolts. Mine is a Porta Cable.

 

[mikem20]

Time for an upgrade. ?
Mine is a kinda basic craftsman and it zipped out my control Arm bolts No problem.

I think it’s close enough to play the “merry Christmas” card……
