Tools needed for Mopar Lift?

[kapk22]

Doing the install tomorrow and was only able to find the list below for tools needed. (No tool list in the paperwork)

2021 JLUR 2.0 liter.
Mopar 2” Lift.

DAYSTAR KJ09180BK Front Coil Spring Isolator - Bow Correction

Rough Country Adjustable Forged Front Track Bar for 2 1/2 -6” Lift Part #11061

Tools:

End wrenches 10, 13 (qty 2), 18, 21, 24 mm.

Sockets I used: 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 21, 24 mm. Special tools: Plastic fastener removal tool (aka door trim removal tool), oil filter wrench (really, see below), and a 6 mm hex (Allen wrench) socket. **** I am not sure what he is referring to with this****

I stopped by Lowe’s and grabbed the 21 and 24 end wrenches. Holy expensive!! Hopefully I can get away with using something else and recoop the $41

Anything I’m forgetting?

I feel like I needed 19mm socket/wrench. Torque wrench and socket extensions as well. Jack stands and jack. Pry bar and punches come in handy for helping line bolt holes up.

the Allen wrench is for the sway bar end links. You can zap them with an impact and 18mm more times than not and they come right off. Disconnect both front lowers then pull the sway bar down so you can easily access the drivers upper.

torque the upper shock bolts to 81 and lowers to 74. LCA is 103 ft lbs plus 50° for both ends. Disconnect TB when on the ground, then jack Jeep up. Reinstall track bar when on the ground too.

not much to it, I think ive installed the mopar lift in around 3 hours.

yeah, I forgot the torque wrench. I will throw a 19 in there. And I must have deleted the sentence with jack and jack stands. And air compressor.

$6 more for a 6 mm Allen socket. Fml

I used a come-a-long to align axles to control arms and track bars. But then I’m an old fart DIY’r. Young studs may not need one. Good luck with install. It took me all weekend but I added front adj. LCA’s, drag link, tie-rod and a rear T.B relocation bracket.

I think the only tricky part will be moving the axles up and down without the convenient pole Jack

thank you guys. Taking a crack at it now.

I bought a air powered impact wrench. I needed it for some of the larger bolts. I also bought a high lift floor Jack. Both from harbor freight. Love the floor jack it is so much better than my old one. And use it all the time. You could probably make do with out either but both of these made the job easier and faster. Tom

Uh,, How the heck do I get the upper control arm bolt to break loose

It’s an 18. Impact is not doing it. Pry bar is at a bad angle

Yes - That's the one - upper rear. Could not do it with the breaker bar. But the impact broke it loose.

Sometimes I put my 1/2" ratchet with socket on it and whack the ratchet with a 3 lb hammer on ones that are stuck like that.
