okwhere does the wiring go...
@@unforgiven101inc wiring is viewable in the Utili-Rack video.
why not just split the grommet halfway and slide it over the wire once you push the relay through the hole. you can follow up with some silicone sealant to prevent water ingress at the trunk. Do the same for the firewall grommet. Much better than cutting wires! Also a dab of dielectric grease to keep the connections dry and clean wouldnt hurt especially if you are going trail driving.
Man I don’t know bout wiring it front to back kinda seems like a waste of time and material another commenter said easier to drill and grommet and maybe not even have to drill
We provide a solution so a customer does not have to drill through their roof. There is the possibility that the roof could leak afterwards, and we would hate for our customers to go through a situation like that. If you wanted to drill through the roof, you can still use this harness, you would simply tuck the extra wire up into the headliner.
Just installed mine, and it looks good
@@baileyjonesjr.9272 thank you incredibly for the support
Hello! what do you think, can such a lifting option lead to a fracture of the lower front lever? Thanks for the answer
We have yet to see this happen in the 10+ years selling this product all over the world. I do not think it is possible because of this
What's really funny is seeing a KL built up like this (awesome), knowing full well it will have to have the lower balljoints replaced every 6 months if it actually hits the trail. I know, because I own one.
Any concerns about rust on the bottom of the strut where you removed the paint to make it easier to fit in the knuckle?
We have not seen any issues with rust due to the fact 99.9% of the installs will have white lithium grease put onto the strut to help slide it into position into the knuckle and that grease access a barrier on top of that the strut clamps down around that wall of the street, and prevents antioxidation.
Will this install onto a 21 KL Anniversary Edition?
It will install if you add the MFC winch cradle and factory hooks
So, the colors on the wiring harness dont mean anything?
Every wire has its purpose and the colors are indicative of that.
Where’s the video for the electrical switch for the inside of the vehicle? Trying to find it with no luck. Love the products you guys make!
will it fit jeep grand cherokee 2011?
Noticed you guys have the thin blue line and red line but no green line for military any plans to add that? @jesselambros8520
Have you encountered battery drain after installing your LED
How much does it cost to have the same built Thank you
When are you gonna start selling the bumpers again?

Do you guys still have people in to install this lift?
Will it work on 2020 Cherokee trail hawk
Yes absolutely
Is the upfit kit still a thing cant find it anywhere
Would I be able to come out to your shop and get you guys to throw on a lift along with getting trimming done to be able run bigger tires?
What size drill bit and grommets did you use for the a pillar holes? Were the grommets used for the mount holes or the holes for the wires?
Can this be installed on a 2020 KL non trailhawk?
Добрый день я стал счастливым обладателем JEEP CHEROKEE 2020 года выпуска и хачу купить вашу продукцию в Россию товар продаётся?

Добрый день в Россию товар свай отпровляете?
Those back ones are a mutha!
What size tyres can I use without and further mods with this lift kit . Thanks 👍
Max tire size with zero trimming is 30.5”. We commonly recommend 245/70R17
@@jesselambros8520 thank you
Would these fit on a 2022 Cherokee? Your website stops at 2020.
Good morning! Yes they fit all years. The 2019+ has to be chosen in the configuration section of the website. I hope this answers your question
Any issues with vibration at higher speeds? This seems to be the main problem with extended reach CV axles.
I have a 2021 Trail hawk I want to put a 2" lift so I can put a 32' tire I don't have any exp. with lift kits I live in Baja California so the roads out here are sandy wash board sometimes water crossing creek beds I need a little more clearance I want something that isn't going to cause other problems Thank great video
Love the concept and want to support American companies. How long is your delivery time?
Depends on when placing an order. We have available delivery time options at check out. Expedited and non
@@jesselambros8520I placed an order on 12/31/23 and it’s still not shipped yet. I was hoping to have had my order by now since it’s not a made to order part. Can I get an idea of when parts should ship?
@@CajunNightFury we advertise a an average 3 week lead time around the holidays due to volume, so it would look like we are within the window lead time.
Thanks for your video
I have this kit installed on a used vehicle I purchased recently. What type off bulb is it that I can replace by going to AutoZone or something. I ordered replacement bulbs from your website, but I had both headlights go out on me. I need to pick something up in the meantime while I wait for my order to show up. Thanks!
What is your order number? We will expedite out a set, as i am not sure if Autozone carry’s HID bulbs
@@jesselambros8520 ORDER #MFC10539 . Thank you!
Hi Jesse, I had the 2” lift installed and it’s awesome! Everything I expected. Next week I’m getting new tires BFG T/A K02 255x65rx17. Quick question? It’s it ok to drive in Auto mode on my 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk?
What's the largest tire size you can run with just a 2" or 3" lift?
With just a 2” and 3” is 30.5”. If you don’t mind trimming, you can go up to a 32” with those lifts.
@@jesselambros8520 is it possible to heat that seam and hammer it over rather than grinding off? Just curious if you've tried that as well.
Yeah about cleaning the windows😅
I have a 2020 Jeep Cherokee TrailHawk. I just got the MFC 2” lift kit and will be installed next week. My kit came with the RWCK. I believe I need to install the RWCK if I want to add bigger tires. What’s the max tire size I can use?
30.5” and no need to modify anything. Up to 32” if you don’t mind modifying the pinch welds and liners
Thank you so much for the guidance and quick response. Just curious, I live in Highlands Ranch, Colorado ( Near Denver). Is there a shop / mechanic familiar with MFC you recommend? Thank you again.
@@unstopfm we have a database on the site with each states installers and dealers. Head over to the how to section and you will see it there!
Whats the largest tire you can fit on the Trailhawk with the 3inch lift and pinch weld mod?
Largest tire is a 32”. Anything more than that has too much rotational mass.
Awesome thanks for the reply.
Hey Jesse! I've got a 2017 KL trail hawk and was just wondering what you think I could do to it to make it the most capable off-road and what you would recommend? Ive seen online that sometimes a 3 inch lift may be too hard on the CV axels due to the angle, I was wondering if the Sub frame drop would help combat this or do you think I should stick to a 2.5 inch lift or maybe even 2? Additionally, would I be able to run Fox long travel suspension In the rear and still be able to remove my front sway bar only?
Good afternoon Dawson! Please give us a ring and we can discuss with you all options and what best suits your needs! 1-833-MFC-OFRD
This is the wrong way to do this. You should not grind off pinch welded flanges. You are weakening the chassis by doing that. All you do is fold them over flat with a hammer, there's no grinder involved
Thank you for your insight, however this has been successfully done dozens of thousands of times on this platform with zero issues.
Oh hello troll....what evidence do you have this is "weakening the chassis" its a unibody vehicle...........its not hurting anything, couldn't you maybe take the time to explain what part of the chassis is damaged and weakened by this......bet you won't. GO jerk off to modified cherokee kl some more
Do you still have the Z71 Tahoe you bought from Dave B ? Wanna see that exhaust system!
I think Dave is doing a follow up video shortly showing all the modifications done to it
Where are you guys located at I have a 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk I want modded
We are located in Northern New Jersey.
thanks for the video thinking of getting this rack to put a tent on it for my trip to Alaska/Yukon next year
Do you remember the length of the two arms used in the video?
This is good, but doesn’t help if we don’t have the winch and still have the fenders all installed. What if we’re still stock?
We have PDF instructions available in the MFC garage. This shows how installation is done on a bone stock vehicle. We have a blurb about this in the description of the video as well if you missed it!
What is the sound that is associated with the failure of the OEM parts? I can definitely spin mine freely
A thumping going over bumps in the road.
Hi Jesse, thanks for the super helpful video! Cant wait to get my 2" kit! Quick question - i saw that ppl are installing larger tires after the lift, some suggested 265/65 ; 245/70; 245/65 and even 265/70, etc. Based on your experience which size will fit the best after 2" MFC lift 2019 Trailhawk? Many thanks in advance!🙏
245/70 is the best go to size that has no issues fitting.
Is this 245/70/16? Or 17?
nice product ~ does this fit 2015 grand cherokee or only cherokee ?
Currently only fits Cherokee.
Do you make one of these for the rear lift gate
We have thought of it. Possibly in the docket
Where is that box placed?
