What size springs?

[Mr.Wilson]

Hopefully the Mopar lift parts will work.

Clayton 2.5" springs are more than 1/2" taller than Mopar 2" springs.

You'll want a front track bar and a rear track bar or bracket so you can center your axles.

If they’re only 1/2” taller than the Mopar springs I should be fine then. I’m currently running 3/4” Daystar spacers and have no issues.

I must not have said that very clear.

I just installed a Clayton 2.5 overland plus and couldn't be happier. I did purchase the HD rear springs. If you select the lift, search the build sheet and pick what you want with it.

How does it compare to stock?

Couldn't be happier. It's about a half inch taller than advertised but has settled some. I purchased basically the whole lift on the black Friday sale. Running Falcon shocks on the soft setting. Night and day from my stock suspension

I would just jump to 3" the extra inch should help with sag.

I'll sell you some 3" rock crawler rear springs cheap.

I started out with Rock krawler 3 inch. I have a go fast camper shell with a drawer. Rebel offroad made the suggestion of 4 inch lift rear springs. I was in the middle of a 4 month trip and started to sag again. It was horrible. Put a set of heavy duty AEV spring front and back, never looked back. Amazing

Yeap my 4.5 RKs rears are doing well with my ARE cap and bins in the back. It's a shame none of these vendor don't put foot notes about going longer/HD in the back if you plan to keep weight in the back.

I wonder what are the ratings/tech specs for towing and payload for the Mopar springs on the lift kit? Reason i ask is because am interested in possible getting a new nighthawk package but payload is low at 1,110 LBS max. My current max tow payload on door sticker is 1,765lbs. If i go nighthawk that will be a 665lbs difference in payload and that is huge for the type of build i have in mind. Wondering if the springs can help a little "within legal" limits for payload.

After I installed my lift, I felt like the rear was ever-so-slightly sagging. I installed the Daystar 3/4" spacers under the rear coils, and they did the trick. They also quieted the rear end by getting rid of a slight clunk I had.

I am currently running the Mopar 2” lift with Daystar 3/4” coil spacers. The lift itself is good but if I had to do it again I’d piece it out. Order everything except for the Mopar coils. Mine have sagged quite a bit in one year’s time. There plenty of companies that offer HD, dual rate, triple rate etc.

Understood and thank you sir. If i do end up with a new nighthawk , suspensions upgrades will most certainly be at the top! I've been looking into the sumo spring helpers and strange things like that lol.

Technically, springs won't increase payload over the rating on your door.

Technically yes and trust me I am very aware of that. I will not be one of those people who goes way beyond the truck's payload capacity, capabilities and what is listed on door sticker.

Unfortunately most springs only come in 2.5”, 3.5” and 4.5”.

the @Metalcloak 2.5" should be enough....they're a pretty beefy spring. Zero sag with my bumper and winch.

I would call them, their customer service will never steer you wrong

 

[Mr.Wilson]

Well the 2.5” Clayton springs went in along with my Daytar 3/4” spacers. I’ll have to order shock extensions brackets front and rear along with longer front Swaybar links. Other than that it drives fine.

Did you end up doing something with the track bars?
