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?

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RL Chick says:

    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.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pablo marquez says:

    Do I need longer links if i have a 2 inch rise?

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Backroadscamaro says:

    Swaybar should not be tightened up with no weight on suspension actually the full weight should be on suspension

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don Cline says:

    love the vids, so informative, been wondering on the shock relocation. do you have a vid on that?

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars charlie dee says:

    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.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Savard says:

    You must be lost without the usual rust! Lol

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lao Han Tun says:

    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 ?

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Scriffiano says:

    Why are the shocks upside down?

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Amaral says:

    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.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Amaral says:

    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.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bryan Thompson says:

    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.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Prince says:

    How much is the cost of all the pieces that have been installed??

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars George Cameron says:

    Have you considered limiter straps so you don/t blow the seals out of the Bilsteins?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars nowr2run says:

    The Addco sway bar came with brackets & bushings ?

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eric Turner says:

    How do sway bars work?

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars someusername121 says:

    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.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan Hambrick says:

    What rear rear axle is that?It sure aint no dana 35….

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars buffsheeri says:

    did you get replacement tie rod ends?

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gmguy156 says:

    Do you think it would of been beneficial to use grade 8 bolts there?

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Bell says:

    Upside down shocks mean less unsprung weight….That's racer hair splitting technology being used by a man that hates after market. 😉

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Today in the Shop Banksy says:

    Remember, a hole is just the beggining of a slot lol

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don's Garage says:

    Will you planning up grade drive line as it weak point

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jon matney says:

    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.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jewllake says:

    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.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr- T says:

    Best mod for a wj

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mopac88 says:

    What are the Torque Specs HAHA!!

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Strein says:

    I can't believe how much money you are putting into this thing.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mike arg says:

    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,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Young says:

    Will be eagerly awaiting the video of the locker fitment.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A LeBlanc says:

    One more step!

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hayden UK 19 says:

    Great job

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tommyj19751 says:

    Have an 03 blazer zr2. Has factory bilstien shocks. I love em. Keep up the good work.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lon Willis says:

    Good Job Eric as always…

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars joseph prosser says:

    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.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CCC Detective says:

    Hi Eric
    Did I miss an exhaust upgrade the pipes look brand new?

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kyle P says:

    "Aftermarket crap" lol

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ring_Zero says:

    Wonderful job Eric 👏🏻👏🏻

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin JP Van Cleef Walker says:

    your jeep?

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bromando says:

    Yo that fluid film stuff STINKS!!

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Christopher"567 says:

    Another awsum clip.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MonkeyNuttz Garage says:

    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.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BUBBA BELL says:

    is that earthquake impact still doin good?

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars randy hughes says:

    So did you fix the suspension form the over correction

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stephen Fronk says:

    What is the purpose of put in your shocks upside down

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Len in MI says:

    Hey kids, wanna go for a ride?😎 Loljk

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jim dandy says:

    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

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars VK says:

    Fucking right man, “excited” to see the next video on this project

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul B52 says:
