In this video I begin installing the Iron Rock Off Road 6.5" lift kit. I will be installing the Rock Link Long Arm kit in the front but for now I am starting on the rear and getting it squared away. -Enjoy!

Your new motors looking real good Eric cant wait to see it finished.
Cool
I know this is an old video but I just got this rear a-arm for my wj and I have to drill my own zerk fittings. Was hoping you had to do the same and would show the location but I guess I'll have to guesstimate based off the holes in video.
def want to buy everything, they sell the complete long arm 6.5 inch lift kit and also 8 inch lift kits. the non long arm is ok if its a grocery getting lift lol
You can't be "only human" cuz you're on YouTube!!
LS Needed now………..
Good job
Hey Eric, I just got rear end set of the rear upper and lowers from IRO and everything has gone on as planned until getting to the lowers, my kit did not come with any spacers and there is a ton of room. Did yours come with the kit or bought after? Just curious, I have an email in with IRO but figured I’d reach out and ask since I watched your video!
Have u had the death wobble yet ..
It seemed to appear that one of your fuel or brake lines mounted to the frame, was leaking.
How's that Earthquake impact? I've gotta Baur 1/2 that works just fine for my purposes.
What shocks you have because i have 6 inch wj on 35s but i cant find 6inch shocks for wj
Lower control arm…one washer left side one washer right side to center control arm. Just saying. NICE JOB@
Yes loving it
Yeah, bilstein mounts upright according to bilstein themself.
Where can I buy that lift kit?
It's looking good! It was good to see the old suspension bolts come off nice and easy and no rust!
Good mécanic jeep wj
Watching again, Eric.
Looks sweet cant wait to see the rest
Does this model Jeep really require this many costly modifications to be a family trail worthy vehicle?
I have a 98 GC with little rust like this, though the WJ's interior is a bit cleaner. Dead trans but I feel better about fixing this now.
lol, cherry bomb and dual exhaust
Whaaaaattt,,, never seen a wj "unbolt". Then again living in Eastern Ohio.. rust belt is real
You have been my go to guru for sometime now I never gave the hat any thought. I've been a machinist for 34 years and a jeep guy even longer. I spent a lot of years building jeeps for other people and when I left the machine shop I went to work for 4wheel parts. So I had a feeling you where ok despite the accent.
You do realize that Vanessa and the kids will need to use a step-ladder to get into and out of the Jeep . Lol .
It looks like the sort of hot rod that kids did in the early 1970s: their gramma’s Buick with the @ss-end way up in the air but they were too cheap to put bigger tires on t.
Loved the line about never-seize – it DOES really get danged near everywhere.
Watch your overhead at Mcy Dees
How do you like those facom wrenches?
Nice!!
Eric O – "1/2 in drive with a 10 mm socket might be overkill"
Me – "There is no overkill. It's called ensuring that the job gets done!"
it gets better gas mileage when running down hill like that. hehe
I saw a machinist take a set of allen wrenches, and cut approximately 1" off each one with a power metal saw so that he could use a socket and ratchet to run them down and tighten them. I thought it was an excellent idea. Of course, most of the allen wrenches were fairly large, but not all of them.
Glad I'm not the only one who finds themselves covered with anti-seize compound every time I use it!
The rear spring did not look straight to me, was not sitting centre. The lift looks awsome.
Lead in the pencil. What..are talking about😄👍 lol love it..your a keeper
Do you not have ratcheting wrenches?
Thanks for this video – fixing to install these same parts today. Nice to see a guy with good mechanical skills who makes an informative, no-bullshit video. And you're a funny fucker too. Makes me laugh.
Never seize…..the herpes of the auto world……LOVE IT. The gift that keeps on giving!
Coming along great, one thing I found is that your shock boots need to facing downwards so that water can't get in and sit on the seals where the piston slides in. Another thing I did was replace the factory upper shock bolts because they taper down and cause a rattling sound over bumps. I think I used m12x.75 because the shank doesn't taper down but I can't remember. It's on my build page WJ Overland Build.
Very cool… buddy…..12 years old dream reborn again with extra boost in it….
Because you have the aluminum d44a rather than the completely different iron d44 you may wish to consider the installation of a truss to help prevent tweaking the axle which will cause continued bearing failure. Have fun, I loved my '02 WJ w/ nv242. -just sayin'…
Awesome Jeep! No rust whatsoever!! Thanks for letting her down. I was wondering how low the front would look as opposed to the rear!!
Sway bar on a Jeep….. my God what is the world coming to
I get to tackle my first lift tomorrow. Only a 2 inch. Nothing like yours but it's a start for me. Great video. Keep up the good work
You should of loctite the alen bolts in the bushings. I have had them come apart before. So next time please use some red or blue if u don't have the red loctite… They wil
