I have X model, and want to install rubicon shocks + Daystar 1.75" BB.
for lifting the car, can i do this with a simple stock jack that came with the car?
how difficult/unsafe is this approach?

thanks in advance.

It will be a PITA. Please pick up a decent floor jack - it'll be worth it. Also, note that daystar won't have bumpstops included.

Stock jack? GOOD LUCK !!!

By the way, it's not a CAR, IT'S A TRUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not a truck... IT'S A JEEP!!!

There are some inexpensive floor jack/jack stand combos at any auto parts store/walmat/target/where ever. Much easier and safer than trying it with the stock scissor jack.

That said, I would recommend you go up a size or two from the least expensive set you find. It's all about safety when you're on your back under your jeep.

Add a pair of tall jack stands to that aswell.

+1 on the floor jack.

Even a moderately priced floor jack will make working on your jeep cause far fewer curse words than using the stock scissors jack...and when you add a good pair of jack stands and some wheel chocks, it's also much, much safer.

Thanks guys, guess gotta invest some money in floor jack/stands.

Also look for the 'tallest' lift height your can find. A 21" or taller floorjack is SO much better than a 14" with a big block of wood on top...
