Now that the rear spring, control arms, and shocks are in from the Iron rock Off road kit it is time to upgrade the rear sway bar. I bought an Addco Heavy Duty rear sway bar from Iron rock Off Road and will be installing it. Stay tuned for more to come! -Enjoy!

So do u have a lift? Also did u have to buy extended sway bar links to keep your sway bar from binding up?
I just bought an 03 Jeep Grand Cherokee, not sure if I will want to off road but I may, nothing crazy though. So my question is I have sway in the rear when driving, it has a 2" lift. Sould I buy off road or oem? I here the axel needs to be new oil every 12 thousand miles that seems excessive.
Do I need longer links if i have a 2 inch rise?
Swaybar should not be tightened up with no weight on suspension actually the full weight should be on suspension
love the vids, so informative, been wondering on the shock relocation. do you have a vid on that?
All the comments about the shocks….Bilsteins are to be mounted with the labeling upright in a readable position, he has them right. One of the best things you can do for the ride BTW, along with the Addco bar. I have a 3" lift on my 04 WJ with the Addco bar, Bilsteins and Iron Rock springs, handles MUCH better than stock ever did.
You must be lost without the usual rust! Lol
I missed this part onward , hospitalized, while resting, I found back. Very well build, normal simple efficient upgrade, really satisfied your 12 year dream, whole family will love it. Going for whole week long bush camping yet ?
Why are the shocks upside down?
Put a set of Stock Dorman Rear Leafs in my XJ 3 Yr's ago and the pair are still in great shape. No broken Leafs and the Jeep is still sitting higher then it ever did.
Those dust protectors on the rear shocks are nothing but water collectors and will make sure you waste those shocks in a hurry. Without a Doubt installed upside down.
Did the same upgrade to my 01 Grand Cherokee 4.7 and it was worth every penny. Cut the body roll down a lot. I'm surprised they use such a small diameter sway bar from the factory.
How much is the cost of all the pieces that have been installed??
Have you considered limiter straps so you don/t blow the seals out of the Bilsteins?
The Addco sway bar came with brackets & bushings ?
How do sway bars work?
Wrap the sway bar with a couple wraps of teflon tape. It'll stop the sway bar from squelching with polyurethane bushings. Lubricants eventually will get pushed out.
What rear rear axle is that?It sure aint no dana 35….
did you get replacement tie rod ends?
Do you think it would of been beneficial to use grade 8 bolts there?
Upside down shocks mean less unsprung weight….That's racer hair splitting technology being used by a man that hates after market. 😉
Remember, a hole is just the beggining of a slot lol
Will you planning up grade drive line as it weak point
You was right what you said before Eric. I can tell you are not into working on your own vehicle as much as someone else's. I'm the same way though. Still did a great job.
I have the 5100s on my Sierra & that is how I have mine installed. The lable should not be upside down when reading it. I’ve heard that you can have the boot on top, but the shock may not last as long.
Best mod for a wj
What are the Torque Specs HAHA!!
I can't believe how much money you are putting into this thing.
Actually your shocks are the right way upside down Bilstein told me, when I bought their shocks that they are mounted with the label right side up, some of their shocks are suppose to me mounted upside down, some right side up,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Will be eagerly awaiting the video of the locker fitment.
One more step!
Great job
Have an 03 blazer zr2. Has factory bilstien shocks. I love em. Keep up the good work.
Good Job Eric as always…
Eric, I just hope all the expense and effort results in a car that you enjoy driving. My gut feeling is that the increase in the centre of gravity relative to the roll centres necessary to achieve the extra ground clearance will compromise the handling and road holding especially when cornering. I am interested to know how all this turns out.
Hi Eric
Did I miss an exhaust upgrade the pipes look brand new?
"Aftermarket crap" lol
Wonderful job Eric 👏🏻👏🏻
your jeep?
Yo that fluid film stuff STINKS!!
Another awsum clip.
Hey guys I thought this might be a decent time to ask since it's a Jeep video. But I just recently inherited a 02 cherokee 4.0. It has a loud growling noise coming from the front axle. It sounds dead center. Like a bearing or something metal on metal. I changed the diff fluid to no avail. Could it be the pinion bearing or something and is it common for the bearings in there to go bad? I believe it's a dana 30.
is that earthquake impact still doin good?
So did you fix the suspension form the over correction
What is the purpose of put in your shocks upside down
Hey kids, wanna go for a ride?😎 Loljk
Get rid of those tin diff. covers when you install lockers, that cheap ass rubber plug that almost always seems to weep.
I have greaseable front sway bar saddles, came from Kevins off road I think. BTF diff. covers look nice but be sure to use SS bolts/allen head hardware
Fucking right man, “excited” to see the next video on this project
Nice video sir!!
