finally got my kit installed! Can’t wait for the RK 5” springs but in the meantime this will have to do. I’m loving the stance. It’s quite a bit bigger then I thought it would be in height. It’s currently sitting 81” tall. Excited to get it dialed in. Great work as always @Rock Krawler...
I threw together a video on how to drill out the cradle bolt holes of the Rock Krawler cradle. I had a few minutes today to install the cradle. I then installed the 3” bumpstop so I could still run the factory suspension. Hope this helps some of you. It took about 1hr to get it installed.
30” shocks. If I want To fender trim I’ll get shorter shocks and 3” bumps. Can you run a DL flip on 3” bumps? OK that was my thought too. I hear the Skyjacker springs need the 1” spacer to ride level. Now get those 5” springs coming I need a set
Thanks again
I saw those and knew by looking that wasn’t what I needed. Thanks for that info. I might just use the synergy weld bracket from the JK and modify it. I’d rather have a welded bracket that I can run a ram off of anyways.
I’ll b
I’ll be running 4.5” skyjacker springs with a 1” spacer and 4” Bumpstop with your XFactor arms and rear cradle. I’ll be switching to your 5” springs once released. I’ll be running king 2.5s. I had your 3.5” springs on my JL with a 3/4” spacer and no draglink flip. The shocks I have...
With 4.5” springs a carrier bearing spacer isn’t 100% necessary if you got adjustable rear upper arms but again does help to get a better angle on the driveshaft. It mainly depends on your rear shocks length and how much droop you achieve
Yes you will need brakelines in the rear. The front will be fine if you remove them from the control arms. If you run drop brackets lower front arms aren’t 100 percent necessary but help with getting better caster angles for better road manners and if you bought the correct shocks you shouldn’t...
That’s a good question, considering it’s a starting point the best thing to do is mount the lowers first and use a close measurement, then mount the uppers without the springs. Approximately measure a 3” lift and set your uppers to the pinion angle you want. Then put your tires on and let it sit...
I didn’t want them either but was forced. And now that I have it I really like It. It’s not so bad to have. My dealership worked with me on the price too.
well if that time comes and you need testing, I’ll purchase and report back. I am current going to be running 4.5” skyjacker springs and 2.5 kings. But I’d love to test out the 5” coils. I have all RK X factor arms and the cradle. I have also extended my bumps and new brakelines. Been an RK...
