Hey all,
I am looking at a used 2016 wrangler, from a mechanical standpoint im pretty confident and competent. However, I have zero experience in lifts and lifted vehicles.
its a single owner, 73,000 miles. Single owner was an older gentlemen, close to my dads age (im 38). Undercarriage looks great, nothing suggesting he went bouncing on sand dunes and driving off of boulders. Everything is consistent or better than a 2016 with 73k miles
except
It has a 2.5" rubicon express lift. 35 tires, and a steering stabilizer.
I am having a problem at the moment of really understanding
a) what parts were added as part of the lift at least "at a minimum to accomplish __"
b) what would be involved in returning to stock height, $$ wise.
a) it appears that at minimum- coil springs, shocks, steering stabilizer and tie rod then?
b) not sure on control arms?
It kind of seems the current pretty much everything but i mentioned is "consistently aged with everything else"
can any lift gurus comment on what im looking at replacing "at minimum"? or general comments on it?
