The lift kit comes with upgraded Fox shocks. I have not experienced bottoming out. However, when off-roading seldom do I have more than an ice chest and shovel in the back.

The Mopar 2” lift kit with the Fox Shocks will increase roll and sway significantly. I had dealer install mine at time of purchase 57,000 KMS ago. One of the front Fox shocks blew and bled red. Trying to get a replacement is very difficult through the dealer. Fox doesn’t supply the same 2.0 shock anymore. So, I went with Bilstein for 2” lift and really like the improved hwy ride quality without losing rough road compliance.

The diesel fix is a set of new shocks. From what I can tell the ones in the TSB for the fix are very different than those in the lift kit.

Do you have a JTRD? If so, what year?

OK. When was it built? If built before 2/14/22. There is a TSB for the up-dated shocks and springs. 4 shocks and 2 front springs. The TSB goes by your VIN number.
