    But I see in this case you use your factory control arms and brackets to correct geometry. Problem with that is every Jeep is different which is why adjustable control arms are the way to go.

    Need help with lift kit purchase for 2012 JKU

    I get it, how much is the rough country kit? Why I said save and buy once 😄 I would not do a rear track bar drop bracket especially on lower lifts, under load or compression they tend to hit the shock body. Better to raise the axle side than drop the upper. Rough country used to have bushing...

    If you buy the full kit, it will come with everything you need with the exception of the front drive shaft or exhaust spacers.

    Need help with lift kit purchase for 2012 JKU

    I have the mindset of save your money and buy it once. Instead of getting it done and then replacing it later, wasting money in the process. I have a 3.5” metalcloak gamechanger on my 14 jku and think it is perfect, tall enough to clear obstacles but low enough to not be tippy in off camber or...

    High RPMs after gear swap: Is this normal?

    I use a jet performance programmer, scanner and tuner. Can do a lot of things including adjust the speedometer. Most likely is just the calibration because your RPMs at 70 for the 3.6l with Manuel with 4:56 gears is supposed to be right around 2443.

    Harbor Freight Badlands Apex Winch

    I disagree to some degree and think that is should be able to handle that pull. I can post several other links of failure for that winch. Recovery situations are usually less than ideal and don’t always allow for a straight pull even with a snatch block. You want something that is reliable and...

    Harbor Freight Badlands Apex Winch

    You have gotten lucky then. I was with my Grandpa 3 times at the cabin attempting to pull people out stuck in the snow. He is on his 4th HB winch and each time was complete gear failure, not electrical. I thought they fix issues with the new generation: Doesn’t look like it. I am not usually...

    Harbor Freight Badlands Apex Winch

    I would never run a HB winch. I have seen several fail completely. Winches are used for recovery, that’s the last time you want something to fail. The new apex one I thought this one might be different, engineered better…nope. Several are failing and literally cracking under heavy load. You...

    2.5” AEV Lift Install

    I flexed out the the suspension each side and placed the anchor on the brake line where it would allow the straightest line. Then went to ride height and made sure it was clearing everything.

    2.5” AEV Lift Install

    Nice, I took out rc fender liners for the falcon 3.3s and later installed jcr inner fenders for the Falcon 3.3s so I didn’t have to deal with that at the time. Glad you got it done! Did you get an alignment from an off-road shop?

    Carpeting question

    So I ordered armorlite in mesa smoke. Just gonna wait on the cargo area for either when they come out with the full set or maybe do goose gear cubbies or build something similar.

    2.5” AEV Lift Install

    I have only used them once and that will be the last time haha. I was maneuvering a spring as I was putting it in place and one slipped off. Scary. Now I just always drop the axle.
