Some pre assembly today, got out work early. Anti seize on the krawler joint, setting the lengths, and a squirt or two of grease. Only snugging up the giant jam nut for now until I get my caster set. I only want to torque that 250 ft lb sumbitch once.........šŸ˜“.

@Headbarcode , hey bud, thought Iā€™d answer here so I donā€™t blow up Marks thread. Lol...... Weā€™re gonna start on it tomorrow. My buddy that owns my lift ( I use it more than he does) he has the Chinese virus, so I told him to keep his ass at the house. Itā€™s probably gonna take me a minute to get it done.

Iā€™m doing some electrical work for him at the shop at the same time. Putting in a 220 circuit for his new giant compressor, adding some more lights, and switches. Colby said sheā€™d like to help out , but she doesnā€™t get along with Duke the shop dog... lol.

Best of luck with the build! A lot of us look forward to hearing your thoughts and drooling over some pics!

This is what the Mrs will see after you get home from testing it out...

Made some good time on it this weekendā€¦šŸ˜“ā€¦ā€¦ we got all the rear brackets cutoff, ground down and new brackets welded on. Got front brackets on and modified my sliders.

LOD sliders is NOT compatible with this kit unless youā€™re willing to make adjustments. I decided to just weld them on, and if something happens to them Iā€™ll deal with it at that point. I really like these sliders, and would rather keep them then go through the process of removal, selling, and finding something else.

So all I have left is to cut off and grind down the front upper/lower brackets. Since I wanted to take out all four control arms, I wanted to support the axle. Wellā€¦ we only have one pole jack and a tranny jack that has a leak and wonā€™t stay up long term. So I found a fence postā€¦.works great, and is gonna be added to the shop tool collectionā€¦ā€¦.ā€¦.šŸ¤£

Jeep Wrangler JL Rock Krawler  maintenance & All brands suspension general  conversation E97670A6-B21C-4C0E-B58A-F32506B6C0E0

so I found this when I was filling up this morning headed back to Kansas from Colorado. I was able to find parts and pieces to get back home but the bushing is shot. I have been drooling on the RK no limits sway bar links. What is the best way to measure which links I will need?

Iā€™ve got my buddies lift reserved for a week from Sunday, heā€™s finishing up a couple side jobs next week, then he said stay on it as long as I need to, heā€™s getting burned out and he wants to use that for an excuse to not take any extra work...šŸ¤£
I'm jealous. The only buddy I have who has a lift is covered up with work until the middle of next year.

I want a lift soooo bad. I just don't have $25,000 to build a building into which to install the thing. Especially since I keep buying Jeep parts. Sigh.

Hi James, Judging from your pic, and the sway link you have now, Iā€™d say you can get the part # RK07140 for 2ā€- 4ā€ lift. As long as youā€™re on a lift, and not running stock springs, these should work great for you.
