Lift and Tyres of your JK

Thanks guys. I will give atv a try. Here's hoping i leave the workshop with only minor extensions to the shopping list ! :-0

Why not install it yourself? By myself it takes under 1.5 hrs to do either end in the driveway by torchlight (shift work, so did it when I got home at midnight). If you don't have tools then now is a good time to get some.


Still looking for the right tyres for mine. Found a few other options of late.

Talking to a bloke as well a few days ago with Achilles Muddies. He was saying on road they were very quiet for the type of tyre they are. A little slippery in the wet tho but not too bad.

Good point. I have done my own work on my previous cars to date, but as this is my first 4bee i suppose i am a bit apprehensive about getting it wrong. I watched a teraflex video and figured the only way to do it without too much grief is on a car hoist. Suppose i could buy some coil compresors to get the springs out etc.? Know of any links to step by step guides? You have made me feel guilty, so will do some more research and have a stab at it myself

This website helped me when I first tackled my very first suspension install. You learn very quick once u start playing around!

Only need coil compressors if installing something like the flexi springs and you dont have enough height to drop the drive shaft out and drop the diffs further down. Otherwise its a simple driveway job with jack stands.
