Rubicon Express Lift Kits Tutorials Part 2 | Photo

     I've received some feedback regarding the post Rubicon Express Lift Kits Tutorial Part 1 | Video .  Not everyone has a router strong enough for them to get a signal on their iPad or laptop to stream video way out in their garage while they are D.I.Y.ing their Rubicon Express lift.  Okay, I get that.  So here is Part Two, a list of online tutorials that are text and photo based.  They can be printed on paper and easily accompany the at-home mechanic into the garage.

Adding A Few Inches To An Old Favorite

     Off-Road Magazine, online and offline, is a great go-to source for tutorials.  This particular article is from the April 2009 issue.  This is not a step-by-step but it does give a very good general overview and includes very descriptive photos.

   I would also suggest Using Torque And Horsepower from the July 2011 issue.  Understanding torque is an important element to doing a proper Rubicon Express lift installation.

How To Install A Rubicon Express 4" Inch Lift Kit On A YJ

     I like this tutorial from JeepAholics Anonymous because it gives an entire lists of the exact tools needed to do the job.  Plus the author does not have a car lift so he shows you how to do the job using car jacks in your garage.

2002 Ford F250 Rubicon Express Lift

     Okay I know that this image shows this is an installation article featuring a professional shop rather than someone's garage.  But this is a pretty detailed installation tutorial for how to put the Rubicon Express Lift Kit on on a 2002 Ford F250.  What I'm hoping it does is discourage readers from attempting this at home.  This article is from Truckin magazine online.

Rubicon Express Extreme Duty 4.5" Lift

    This tutorial from www.RockCrawler.com, and the one after it, are straight up D.I.Y. step-by-steps.  I like this www.RockCrawler.com tutorial because it shows you how to test the work you've done after the install and because when you go to print it from the web page it comes out in a very readable format.

Jeep TJ Rubicon Express (RE BB) 2" Budget Boost Installation Write-Up

     

     I like this tutorial from 4x4Explore because he follows it up with a second tutorial on how to eliminate drive line vibrations that might follow after you lift your vehicle.  His answer is a transfer case skid plate drop.

     Okay so from these five tutorials you should be able to get enough tips that you can manage your own installation of a Rubicon Express lift kit (Unless you are a Ford F250 driver in which case the take away should be buy the lift kit and pay the money to have it installed professionally).  Good luck.
