Got the cheaper RC 4.5 lift with out adj track bar and it didn't come with upper control arms is that gonna hurt me in the long run because I already drilled 3/4 inch to the right for the stock track bar ( as it said to do in the instructions ) what should I do ?? I'm still learning guys yeah I know I've been asking alot of questions lol I just need some help

 

Drilling out that track bar mount make it weak. My buddy welded huge washers over the new holes to re-enforce it.

The upper control arms are ok, My RE Uppers are a bit longer than the stock ones, But I ran it all summer with only my lowers on, it messed with the caster angle a bit, but still did just fine. The stockers are flimsy and weak. But they will be fine.

 

Chill bro, your good. My 4.5 inch kit didnt come with a trac bar or uppers. I redrilled the trac bar mount .75 inch like you and everything was cool.

 

Ok thanks man I didn't know if it would hurt my trail abilitys much or not I don't want a mall crawler I wanna be able to get sh**. Done lol...... But also when my wheels are straight my steering wheel is turned alot to the right idk if. Alignment would fix it completely or not I'm also getting a pop from under my feet every once in awhile idk what that is plus it sounds like the shackels are hitting this has just been a fun process for me any advice on any of this hahaha

 

Go get an alignment. My steering wheel was completely upside down. After an alignment it's fine now and it drives MUCH better.

 

My castor was still in spec with the stock uppers and 4.5in short arm lift.

 

So your jeep is lifted all ready? The redrilling of your trac bar is fine, plenty of people do it. Yes and alignment will fix your steering wheel. As for the pop, my jerk makes all kinds of noises now that it's lifted, it's just the new parts settling, like when a new house creeks. If you shackles are hitting, get the shacks relocation brackets from RC. They bolt right on and will cure your shackle angle, while giving you a better ride

 

Ok I already have that planed for tomorrow thanks hopefully that will solve some of the problems lol

 

Yeah I just lifted it 2 days ago and will the shackel relocation kit lift my rear end up too much will I need new shocks I looked into it and I don't want the jeep lookin like it's going to the drag strip. Haha and one of the front noises sounds like my new lower control arm

 

Thanks for everyones help with out this form I would be f***ed

 

Drive around a bit with the drilled over TB, if done right your good! Sometimes people are more likely to get Death wobble with it drilled over. And with stock Control arms, just make sure your bump stops are up to bar, My friend who recently got this lift the upper control arm flexed all the way up.. from jumping it... (Idiot) to where the tranny lines are and pinched the line, which he didnt know at the time and overheated his tranny, Guess what he replaced this last weekend? A new tranny cause the other one was toast. Just dont jump it! ha which is never recommended. nor what jeeps are designed for, unless its jeep-speed

 

Or your TB could be loose is it when you turn? you could have one of your friends turn the steering wheel side to side while you look at your Track-bar and if it even flexes a little bit thats where the sound is commin from most likely.

 

last jeep I had was making popping noises right after the 4.5 lift. go back and retighten everything. that was my problem.

 

Alright thanks everyone
