We dirt-heads like 4-wheeling, but we also like modifying out 4×4’s. On this episode of Dirt Every Day, Fred Williams shows you how to add a 4-inch lift kit …

I put a OME 1.5lift on my KK. It came from Jeepin-by-Al but installed by my local Jeep dealer (and yes, in my area, they are the only dealership that tricks out any jeep right off the showroom floor). I also replaced the “A” arms. Looks good. Running 255/65 16’s. Hancook Dynpro AT’s. Longer heavy springs and shocks really make it ride much better then the stock suspension. It gave me 3 more inchs of space between the skids and ground. Have 10 in front, 8.5 in back. Lockers are next.
How did the Grey Chevy get beat up?
Go back to school.
your drawing was so bad they had to include a simulation of the jeep.
Spring compressors.
I live in Canada and hear Emoo all the time.. makes me laugh !!
Very handy how to guide, and I thankyou for that.
But as an Australian I can’t help but want to give you a hint for the next time that you say the EMU part of Old Man Emu. It’s pronounced eemuuu and not emoo. No big deal I know, but I just wanted to try to help you fine gents in America to be able to get your head around the mad manner in which Aussie’s pronounce words. 🙂
what the fuck?
thank you, his spelling was killing me.
judging by your spelling you might actually be more intelligent than most of the licensed mechanics who have worked on my vehicles…. needless to say i will never bring my truck to a mechanic if it can be avoided
Nice job. Good video
lol license**
Loving these videos.
7:25. longer bump stops are not to save your wheelarches, they save your shocks being the bumpstops and getting hammered/broken/flogged.
lol you just contradicted yourself by say it will not give ground clearance and then later in the statement stating it does, that’s a double negative next time you want to sound smart try not to do that. 🙂
Fred, you need some ratchet wrenches for those shocks buddy.
How much was the lift kit?
There is about an inch and a half more ground clearance due to the larger tires.
A suspension lift on a JK will not gain additional ground clearance as the axle tube/differential housings will still be lowest points on the vehicle.
The suspension kit gives you space to run a larger tire which then gives you more ground clearance.
Stock ground clearance: 10 inches. How about this kit?
Price
What about the proce of that new tires and brand? 🙂
That’s what she said
hi… shouldn’t you torque everything only AFTER the jeep is on its wheels standing?… if you don´t the bushings will be twisted at ride height…not going to last that long…br
4:55 made me laugh. If someone needs an explanation on how to loosen their lugs before jacking up the vehicle then they have no business attempting a suspension lift.

Terrific video..thank you!
what about brakes and power to go along with the upgrades? or the jeep is fine without that stuff and just the lift?
