Hey all... i had my 2012 JKU worked on at Off Road Evolution... Mel mentioned I should flip my drag link to get my front suspension/steering components back in line to help with some of the issues i was describing to him. Based on what he said while i was there and my research here, it seems like a good thing to do since it wasn't done by the PO when they lifted the JKU. I have about a 3.5" lift on now with 37s and flat aftermarket fenders.
A few questions comes up as i ponder doing this install myself.
1) For those who did this install, do you regret doing it yourself?
2) Are there any "gotchas" that i need to be aware of before i attempt doing this myself?
3) Is there a chance i have to install taller springs to make sure everything clears at full articulation? Mel mentioned i may have to raise the jeep about an inch so nothing hits the frame or other components. I prefer to keep jeep as low as possible.. was wondering if this part is true.
4) Is Evo the best kit for doing this or would you recommend another kit?
I'm trying to get more involved with wrenching on my JKU. I'm also not too proud to have a quality shop work on it when it becomes beyond my skillset. Thought I'd put this out there and ask your opinions.
Thanks!!
