Installed the Rough Country 2" lift on Friday night and Saturday a.m.
Overall, the install didn't go too badly. Once I figured out I had to detach the UCL and swing away the spindle, it was fairly straight-forward. Some of the videos I watched didn't have a forked lower strut attachment, so removal was easier for them. Air tools would have been awesome.
Tips:
- Use/borrow air tools if you got em. Like always, they could have saved a bunch of time.
- The UCL needs to be swung up and knuckle/spindle maneuvered away on the front to get the strut out.
- UCL also had to be detached to get the driver's side rear spring out.
Bone stock 08 WK with 255/75s. Little rubbing at full lock; but no pinch weld problems:
After Rough Country 2" Lift. Same ride, little more apparent rubbing on full lock; but just need to trim wheel well.
