Bilstein shocks on a non SRT8 WK?

[iJeep]

Here we go guys..
I AM READY!!! I got them all.. Shocks, SRT's sway bars, bushings and links. I got the rear Bilstein's from shockwarehouse.com and the front from Tire Rack. The sway bars, bushings and links, I was lucky to find someone on the red site from Brooklyn that had them all.. For an unbelievable price! Awesome SRT BTW... I am planning to put them on next Friday. If my mechanic allow me, I will take some pics of the installation to post. I can't wait

you cant use the srt links if you dont have the traingle mounts. they only come on the srt8 and you cant even buy them seperately, you have to buy the SRT8 links and they come with it.

those links you have will be way too short without the other pieces

To me, one word comes to mind.. "TIGHT"
Amazing overall improvement on the ride, stable, center, and an awesome sense of full control...
My friends, you must set a side some mod money for this one, absolutely the second best mod ever!!

My first best mod ever?
Well, SRT8 wheels, of course, which BTW goes really well together.

Anyway, here some pics... I like the yellow looks cool.

All 4 Bilsteins with SRT8 sway bar front and rear

No SRT8 sway links necessary, you can reuse your stock links

Just as per Scott and Ray, the Bilsteins raised my WK precisely 3/8" same, front and rear.. No big, I actually like it.

not seperate, as part of the link, you buy the link, the rear I know for sure, you get the traingle

[iJeep]

Yeah, I check on that.. it's about 300$ for those kind of links..

[Scottina06]

yeah and salvage yards wont part them from the rear suspension....damn them....LOL

I think that your next mod should be the brakes from an SRT.

Who?

[Raymond]

Well I'd like to be the " Who " but I can't afford them. I guess Dylan means Fabian.
Some lucky person is driving around in a WK with SRT brakes, hey Scott.

quick question ???

i am converting to the srt-8 sway bar ... whats the best way to do it?

jj website stated that i needed additional mounts than the whopping $300 kit that i need to buy ... what do i really need? thanks

[iJeep]

Just the sways and bushes.. Don't need any kit. For an extra $300. you can get a set of Bilstein to go with it.. Now, then, you will feel a major improvement..

you also might want to look at the addco sway bar! that is the sway the srt8 people upgrade to. it's $135 i think shipped

also be aware that you have to buy the SRT brackets and bushings for the addco becasue thee ones they send are junk. They also have fitament problems. My neighbor just bought a set last week from Kolak and the rear fit perfect and the front was crap. He ended up getting the SRT front bar from justforjeeps.

[B.P.O.D]

^^^ thanks for the info buddy!!!

i was thinking of ordering the rear addco and srt front... so i have to buy the srt brackets and bushings for the rear? how much?

[Scottina06]

sorry....its recommended the srt bushings and brackets for the front addco. Seriously...addco has had problem for 2 years with the bars fitting correctly. I thought they had fixed it...but obviously not. Maybe it was a one time thing. I recommend the zSRT bars becasue they fit perfect every time.

[B.P.O.D]

i see... i still have some cash left over after the intake/exhaust/tb so maybe ill just get the srt sway then.

[B.P.O.D]

fabian when are we doing the sway bar! it's sitting in my basement:)

[iJeep]

^^ Why don't you come with me at my mechanic's garage on Saturday. He will do it for you for a great price. I need to go there anyway.

[B.P.O.D]

i couldn't last sat... can you call him and ask for a price!
