Jeep lift kits can maximize your offroading fun, keep your jeep from being damaged, and make it look aggressive and domineering on the road.
What many people don't know is that along with these benefits and perks of having installed a lift, there are some adjustments and changes that need to be made to make up for it.
And for these changes, certain accessories are available.
Odometer Adjuster One of the things many people don't think about when they install their new jeep lift kit is that bigger tires mean different odometer readings.
Readings are based on the circumference of the tire and therefore when a lift kit and new bigger tires are installed, the odometer needs to be readjusted.
An accessory that will help with this problem is the odometer adjuster.
By using this tool, you can tell your odometer that your tire circumference has changed and once again get an accurate mileage reading on every trip.
Extended Brake Hoses With taller vehicles comes the need for longer brake hoses.
Standard hoses made for a standard jeep are most likely not going to be long enough to fit once you've added the jeep lift kit, depending on how long your suspension arms are.
In general though, you will need to invest in longer brake hoses.
Without these, there will be no moving or offroading for you, and they are very important so that a stretched standard brake hose doesn't come undone or get broken while offroading.
All of these accessories can be found relatively cheaply and are usually pointed out when you purchase your kit.
Talking with the sales associate or using your owner's manual for the lift kit to determine exactly what size and brand of these accessories to buy will help you greatly in the installation and performance of them.
