So I installed the Mopar 2” lift kit on my 2022 JT Sport S. 3.6L 2 years ago. Since then I’ve added a lot of over-landing gear. I’ve noticed the truck isn’t sitting as high as it did. the springs have settled quite a bit. That being said. I wanna swap the springs out only. Does anybody have any ideas what I can swap them out with? Something of better quality.

That and does anyone know what the length of the FOX shocks that come with the Mopar 2” lift kit measure extended and compressed?

My jks 3.5" fronts lasted 35k miles, then I lost about a 1" up front. I'm going to try rock crawler 4.5" in the rear this go round, and I just ordered a fresh set of 3.5" for the front through jks again. At $116 for the pair, ill just swap them at 40k again. I use their acos front spring bump stop to fibe tune the front ride height. Before we left for moab this spring I just "added" my lost 1" back and it worked for the trip.

I have a pair of rock krawler +3" rear springs for sale that will get you back up again.
The longer spring will give you a little more preload to hold up you heavy back end.

I ended up going +4" for my rear to cause it was squatting with my load in the back with the 3" springs.

Do you have any additional weight in the front, and how did the rear hold up? Any extra weight back there to cause sagging? I just ordered the JKS 3” J-Venture kit and hopefully it won’t sag too bad with a winch and steel bumper.

Only weight up front is a steel bumper and winch. All 4 springs have settles however.

I’m just trying to figure if I can order springs from somewhere that’ll bring it back up higher and last more than 2 years.

If you want to keep the other Mopar lift parts, you'll have to be careful to not swap to springs that are too tall.

Clayton sells 1.5" springs that would probably work well for you. I don't know how they compare to Mopar 2" springs for ride height, but they should be close. Clayton springs run tall. And Clayton springs have a higher rate, so they'll carry weight better.

I'm of the same opinion as others with Clayton a call. My plan for future purchase is possibly from them to replace the rear springs.
Many "lift kits" expect it to be a unloaded use only it seems.
If you go Air-Ride give them a call to determine best option kit, I was on phone with Jacob and determined a different kit would be a better choice. . . Air Ride 60828HD would be the best choice for mine. Expect to use some colorful language installing them, and wear some mechanics gloves to protect your knuckles. The left side was the knuckle skinner.

I am getting ready to order the same Air Ride kit. Are you currently running the 2” Mopar lift?

Or just replace the springs and have one less failure point to contend with
