Rancho Lift System and Shocks

[Agarwal_rahul]

Hi All

I am thinking of installing the Rancho 3" Trail System/Lift Kit on my 2013 JK Rubicon with RS9000XL Shocks, any advice to/against this system or any other recommendations?

Also anyone know any mechanic/service center/etc, that would install this for me without breaking the bad if I import the required items?

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

Just double check if the Rear Track bar bracket and Front panhard are compatible are compatible with RHD JK, because there is difference in the diff setup for a LHD and a RHD JK.

Was gonna add Sway bar discos but realised u drive a Rubi.....

The mechanic should charge you roughly 4-5 hours labor and a wheel alignment.....

Dont know a mechanic for this job as I did mine myself. Mine is a technically 40mm lift actually sitting at 2 inch. But I changed only springs, shocks, relocated the control arms using a drop bracket, relocated the brake lines using another bracket, installled JKS swaybar discos.... Took about 4 hours in my front yard. What area u live in, depending on it people can suggest a mechanic.....

Hi Mani/All

I live in West Pennant Hills area, anyone aware of any mechanic around this area, don't mind travelling a bit if required.
If not mechanic any other options to get this installed, I don't have a garage space or tools to try myself, nor any experience on this front.

If you can't find a mechanic near you, and I would expect that most mechanics could fit for you - even my local Midas will fit suspension - you could see if we have a "Toolbox Day" at Wooders Garage planned (Hornsby). Club members get together an help each other out doing jobs like this...

Hi Dave/Mani

I managed to find a couple of service centers who have shown interest, however I just got confirmation from Rancho that the kit is not supported for RHD, so Mani you were correct the kit is for LHD.

Looks like I will have to keep my plans for suspension upgrade on hold for now unless someone can advise other alternatives, I liked Rancho kit because it looked like a complete kit for a good price. Also further researching there have been lots of questions about factory warranty being void is I lift using un-approved kits, etc.

Any suggestions....

What size tyres are you looking at running Rahul?

Teraflex are making noise about RHD components at present, so thats another option for you.

I suggest that you get in touch with

Fivedock

http://www.atvautomotive.com.au (http://www.atvautomotive.com.au/)



They are agents and installers for www.MurchisonProducts.com.au (http://www.MurchisonProducts.com.au)

They should be able to sort you out.

As long as Five Dock (Concord) isn't too far for you!

Also look at http://www.aev-conversions.com/shop/shop-by-category/suspension.html They are a very reputed company and they make kits for RHD. I am running some of their stuff on my JK and can say that the build quality is better than company.... I believe they have a couple of dealers in Australia.... I run Bilstein shocks in my Jeep and am very happy with them. AEV also use Bilsteins but a little different tuning.....

http://www.aev-conversions.com/shop/shop-by-category/suspension/jk-dualsport-sc-suspension.html This Kit appears to be the most complete one supplied with a pro cal module as well to adjust your computer to the new tyre size etc....

Also give Wooders Garage a call or even better a visit.... He can supply a variety of kits suitable for RHD in the height u need.... Furthermore he is a wealth of knowledge and been playing with Jeeps for4 a very long time......

Wooders or double black are both sponsors and both know their stuff, they'd be who I'd try first.
