Where did you buy those headlight covers i have been looking for them but can't seem to find them thank you. I finally got a 2 inch lift from avid will be put on Tuesday hopefully everything goes well.
I got them on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XYR1LY3/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Just be careful with handling and installing them, they are very thin aluminum and bend very easily and they come with extremely strong double sided tape and stick like crazy to everything. They also dont come with any kind of install instructions. Pretty much the only thing you need to know is clean the crap out of your headlights with rubbing alcohol so the tape will stick really good.
Thank you very much. I bought them and am going to install them and new lift and tires should be all done by Tuesday hopefully.
awesome! cant wait to see pics! and after a while, like me, you'll start wondering why Jeep didn't just make the Renegade like that in the first place.
I just went to start on this an noticed i jave no instructions by chance do you still have the instructions.
The lift but nvm i just contacted avid and they sent me one via email so hopefully i should be good did you run into any issues installing the lift
I honestly don't know if there was any issues, I paid a local garage to install mine. I wish you luck in your install though. and since all the spacer lifts are basically the same thing this might be of some use. I tend to find things like this more helpful then some instruction sheets. It's a walkthrough install of the Daystar Lift
Thank you very much this should help quit a bit i perfer video also im hoping to have this all finished by Wednesday.
Thank you the lift is installed but i am waiting for my wheel spacers from bora so rn it kinda looks dumb but with the spring lift and avids brand new 2 inch lift i gained just shy of 5 inches of ground clearance.
awesome! that must already look so much better then the stock height. Now one thing you'll notice when out on the road is that you can see the top of the roof on most other Renegades, I've had my lifts for about 2 months now but that still makes me laugh.
Yea i noticed that right away i have a buddy with a dodge truck with a 4 inch lift i sit just as high off the ground as him now. So far i love it my spacers should come Tuesday so ill post pics of the finished product then.
Finally finished for now with my build! Turned out way better than I thought. Brand new 2 inch avid lift that isn't even released yet kumho tires touren rims ebiach lift springs avid front bumper and last but not least my star wars decals.
Looks good! welcome to the tall toaster club! now I need to get a pay raise so I can get an Avid bumper too lol
Haha yea i love the bumper im going to put the rear bumper on when i get one but that is going to wait a little. And yea im officially sitting 5.75 inches higher than a stock trailhawk
ya, I don't know what it is about the TrailHawks that seem to add almost 2 more inches to what is supposed to be about a 4 inch lift but hell, I'm not complaining! Even after thoroughly breaking in both kits, spacers and springs, on trails and driving well over 2,000 miles, mine is still sitting about 5.5 to 5.75 inches taller so there wasn't much loss in height after things settled in. I did have to listen to the springs squeak for a couple hundred miles before they finally broke in though.
Yea once the springs break in it will be nice. But so far im really pleased with how it all turned out.
How much off roading do you do? And do you think i should get some aftermarket rock dliders or is it not worth it?
I try to get out a couple times a month but down here in Florida there isn't really anything too difficult that rock sliders are really necessary for. That being said I have scraped and hit mine more then a few times. I have a DesertHawk so basically a TrailHawk like yours but with a couple upgrades, like instead of the regular rockers like you have mine are actually steel rock sliders. For playing in sand and mud I wouldn't really think after market sliders would do much good but up where your at your trails probably have a ton more rocks where a good set of rock sliders would definitely come in handy. That being said, I have actually thought about upgrading my sliders to something a little more robust in case I find the one trail down here where my stock ones are not quite enough. I need to get out of this flat state and up to where some real trails are. Most of my off roading consists of fire roads in state parks, not very exciting. Occasionally the Jeep club I'm in will find something more challenging but so far the hardest thing they've found is fording about 24" of water in a big puddle.
Damn all right you convinced me i just bought the RRO supersliders so we will see how that install goes.
