will drive to pickup.
Was thinking about doing the exact same thing, did you purchase every part exactly listed and just left out the shocks?!? Anything I should know??? probably going to do the same thing except use shock extensions for my OEM rubicon shocks ( Fox)... which shocks did you originally use? All info is appreciated!I actually piecemeal'ed mine from BAM. Ordered all parts except for the shocks. It was roughly 650 for everything you would need. I am running fox 0-1.5 inch shocks which are little shorter, by about an inch or so, but for now they are working well. Looking to supplement with Falcon Adjustable shocks. If you want a list of part numbers, I will PM you.

@Unkiebunk045 did you find your kit? There’s a guy right near Springfield MA selling a kit plus adjustable track bar for $1200...I would’ve jumped if I needed/wanted the shocks
I hear ya.....it’s an addiction...i haven’t decided what to do yet. i’ve got the jeep bug; just not the wallet to support it yet; i love the forum because i get my info; but then agonize about the buy part...lol
Every part except for shocks. Loosen control arms and have a local alignment shop retorque. Alignment is not really necessary, just straighten the steering wheel. Mark the original location with a marker, makes it easier to play with steering adjustments. Otherwise, follow mopar lift kit instructions.Was thinking about doing the exact same thing, did you purchase every part exactly listed and just left out the shocks?!?

I am interested in hearing how you pieces it together if you wouldn’t mind PM’ing meI actually piecemeal'ed mine from BAM. Ordered all parts except for the shocks.

Not sure if you know off the top of your head, but any idea on the dimensions of the front and rear bump stops? Heights of both? Maybe Diameter of fronts?

The shocks I used are Fox 2.0 performance (non rubicon) for 0-1.5 lift. 2-3 size would be perfect for this lift. I like the way it looks and rides now.
Forgot to add - rear axle can be dropped lower by removing the calipers. Suprisingly easy as they are held in place with two 10 mm bolts. Gives enough clearance to drop the axle low enough to correctly position rear top spring isolator.
Not worth your time.. Here are the part numbersNot sure if you know off the top of your head, but any idea on the dimensions of the front and rear bump stops? Heights of both? Maybe Diameter of fronts? (Thinking about just fabbing my own)
Ehhhh assuming those aren’t being sold in sets....I’d be saving myself $120/20% of the overall lift cost for a couple hours of my time and some scrap material at work...Not worth your time.. Here are the part numbers
Bump Stops
Front - 68316587AA
Rear - 68316588AA
you really don't need front or rears unless you are planning on running 37 inch tires. So save yourself $120 and a couple of hours of your time and add later if need.Ehhhh assuming those aren’t being sold in sets....I’d be saving myself $120/20% of the overall lift cost for a couple hours of my time and some scrap material at work...
