How To Install a Full Suspension Lift Kit

I have made hundreds of videos.... But i have yet to made a video on how to install a full lift kit!! Want to save some money and install your own lift kit? Maybe you want to learn a little more about how your suspension works and what each component actually does. In this video we install a Clayton Offroad 3.5" Overland Plus suspension kit. I am using my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon, however this install is practically the same for any solid axle jeep with coil springs (even with non Jeeps). A Jeep Wrangler will have practically the exact same steps. I realized the other day, that i had never made a lift kit install video (Mostly due to the fact that i started my Youtube channel very late into my offroading hobby). I hope this video can help you guys out, whether you are new to Jeeps, or maybe you want to see some tips and tricks. And for those of you looking to install a lift kit on a Jeep Gladiator then this will be pretty much step by step. Here is the lift kit i am installing in this video. https://www.claytonoffroad.com/produc... Here is a video of this lift kit in action:    • Trail Testing Our New Jeep Gladiator Suspe...   Lets get back to the basics.... How do you know when you need a full suspension lift kit? I will try to make this simple, if your going over 2.5" of lift then i suggest a full lift kit that has the following items; Coil Springs- The things that actually lift your Jeep! Control Arms- These are what connect your axle to the frame, the front arms control positioning as well as caster and pinion angle alignment. The rear control axle positioning and pinion angle. Trackbars- These located your axle from side to side. When lifting your jeep, the axles will actually shift over to one side, requiring an adjustable trackbar to re-center them. Bumpstops- To limit uptravel for larger tire size increase. Shocks- In this case, the clayton kit lets us choose our own shocks. I chose the Fox Performance shocks that are actually labeled for 4-6" lifts.. This allowed me to gain some extra down travel in the shock. Its important to look at the extended and collapsed length of shocks and verify that it will work with your setup. Sway Bar Links- Lifting the jeep means we need longer sway bar links to keep them parallel. All of these adjustable components allow us to fine tune our rig, and really make it drive well. The adjustability allows us to dial in the suspension and negate the side affects of a lifted ride height. I am extremely happy with this lift kit so far, it rides amazing on the road, and handles perfectly offroad. Make sure your subscribed to the channel to see more videos!!
