How to Install a Pro Comp 2.5 in. Lift Kit With Shocks on your 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler JK

 This installation requires a professional mechanic!

 We recommend that you have access to a factory service manual for your vehicle to assist in the disassembly and reassembly of your vehicle. It contains a wealth of detailed information.

 Prior to installation, carefully inspect the vehicle’s steering and driveline systems paying close attention to the tie rod ends, ball joints, wheel bearing preload, pitman and idler arm. Additionally, check steering-to-frame and suspension-to-frame attaching points for stress cracks. The overall vehicle must be in excellent working condition. Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts!

 Read the instructions carefully and study the illustrations before attempting installation! You may save yourself a lot of extra work.

 Check the parts and hardware against the parts list to assure that your kit is complete. Separating parts according to the areas where they will be used and placing the hardware with the brackets before you begin will save installation time.

 Check the special equipment list and ensure the availability of these tools.

 Secure and properly block vehicle prior to beginning installation.

 ALWAYS wear safety glasses when using power tools or working under the vehicle!

 Use caution when cutting is required under the vehicle. The factory undercoating is flammable. Take appropriate precautions. Have a fire extinguisher close at hand.

 Foot pound torque readings are listed on the Torque Specifications chart at the end of the instructions. These are to be used unless specifically directed otherwise. Apply thread lock retaining compound where specified. 

 Please note that while every effort is made to ensure that the installation of your Pro Comp lift kit is a positive experience, variations in construction and assembly in the vehicle manufacturing process will virtually ensure that some parts may seem difficult to install. Additionally, the current trend in manufacturing of vehicles results in a frame that is highly flexible and may shift slightly on disassembly prior to installation. The use of pry bars and tapered punches for alignment is considered normal and usually does not indicate a faulty product. However, if you are uncertain about some aspect of the installation process, please feel free to call our tech support department at the number listed on the cover page. We do not recommend that you modify the Pro Comp parts in any way as this will void any warranty expressed or implied by the Pro Comp Suspension company. 

Due to differences in manufacturing, dimensions and inflated measurements, tire and wheel combinations should be test fit prior to installation. Tire and wheel choice is crucial in assuring proper fit, performance, and the safety of your Pro Comp equipped vehicle. For this application, we recommend a 17” wheel not to exceed 9” in width with a maximum backspacing of 5” must be used. Additionally, quality tire of radial design, not exceeding 35” tall X 12.5” wide is also recommended. Please note that the use of a 35” X 12.5” tire may require fender modification. Violation of these recommendations will not be endorsed as acceptable by Pro Comp Suspension and will void any and all warranties either written or implied. 

1. Position your vehicle on a smooth, flat, hard surface (i.e. concrete or asphalt). Block the rear tires and set the emergency brake.

2. Measure and record the distance from the center of each wheel to the top of its fender opening. Record below. 

3. Place the vehicle in neutral. Place your floor jack under the front axle and raise the vehicle. Place jack stands under the frame rails and lower the frame onto the stands. Remove the jack and place the vehicle back in gear, set the emergency brake, and place blocks both in front and behind the rear wheels.

4. Unbolt and remove the transmission skid plate from the vehicle.

5. Unbolt the front sway bar frame mounts from the vehicle. Save the hardware for reuse.
