How NOT to lift a Truck or Jeep

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video begins with an introduction to the project: installing a lift kit on a Jeep Wrangler. The presenter highlights the importance of avoiding common mistakes during this process and briefly touches upon the differences between suspension and body lifts. The various components of the RBP lift kit are then showcased and discussed, including springs, an adjustable track bar, a rear track bar relocation bracket, sway bar end links, tubular control arms, and optional Fox Adventure Series 2.0 shocks. The concept of 'Death Wobble' common in Jeeps, especially with larger tires, and how dual steering stabilizers help mitigate this issue, is also explained.

Goal: Understand the project's scope and familiarize with the RBP lift kit components.

Tools and materials

  • Adjustable Track Bar RBP — Centering the front axle after lifting
  • Dual Stabilizers RBP — Preventing 'Death Wobble' by providing additional steering damping
  • Fox Adventure Series 2.0 Shocks Fox — Upgraded shocks for improved ride quality and damping, especially with a lift
  • Jeep Wrangler JK 4-door kit RBP — Specific lift kit for the vehicle
  • RBP Lift Kit RBP — Providing new suspension components for the Jeep lift
  • Rear Track Bar Relocation Bracket RBP — Relocating the rear track bar to maintain axle alignment
  • Springs RBP — Providing the primary lift for the suspension
  • Sway Bar End Links RBP — Connecting the sway bar to the axle, ensuring proper sway bar function with the lift
  • Tubular Control Arms RBP — Upgraded control arms for better durability and geometry

What they say

install a shock at the same time. This is Banker, guys. How's it going? Good, Banker. How you doing? Good. I'm at the headquarters of Custom Offsets, and we teamed up with RBP, and we're going to be showing these guys how not to install a lift on a Jeep. But we're going to go a little bit further than that. We're also going to talk about the difference between a suspension lift and a body lift. Sure. and what the pluses and minuses possibly minuses on the body lift. Everybody says that. So, we want to actually let these guys know exactly what we're talking about when we do that. But, as we show them the right way to install the lift, can you actually walk us through some of the common beginner mistakes that guys make and maybe guide them along the way? Before we get too far into this, what do you do for these guys? I'm the main installer on here. We actually just hired a new guy, which you'll see when we uh start on the Jeep, but I do all of the scheduling. I do all the talking with the customers, getting these builds in the door, set up, and then putting the kits on. And you do builds like this. I do builds like this. Look at I I recruited a cameraman. We got their cameraman right [laughter] here. So, this is one of the uh jobs that Banker's actually been building on. So, this thing's got what, 40in tires, coilover lift. Yep. 8 in coilover, some 40s. Um he's got about 30,000 stuck into this truck on top of the truck itself. And so the fun thing is where's my stuff? It's hidden. It's hidden. Honestly, guys, I have no clue what RBP sent. I don't know. No, I have not gone over that yet. Do you know what they I know what they sent. [laughter] This is going to be so fun. It's going to be fun. So, make sure you guys stick around cuz we got a lot of ground to cover today and maybe we should start doing that. Yeah, might as well.
