Is the Mopar 2 inch lift actually bad?

[Sigz]

Not to bump an older thread - but researching lift kits - I called my dealer (who I have had a great relationship, no issues or funny games) and called regarding the 2 inch Mopar lift.

They quoted me at $2449 for the lift kit parts - and around $500 for installation.

YIKES.

i got 20% off of the kit and labor with a coupon in the mail. less than 2k installed

Damn, I would definitely do that

AEV 2.5 Dualsport lift is only $1809. Installation is pretty easy and is a good lift system with front geometry correction brackets to keep the front end happy.

The mopar kit is overpriced.

Quadra Tech has Mopar lift kits on sale. I bought mine for $999.

It lacks true high end shocks ( which fairly some other brands dont either )
It lacks adjustable control arms . It provides what extra length is needed to suffice for 2" of lift.
I did a Frankenlift. Mostly ter flex stuff but some Rubicin express and some rough country and rock jock. Cheers.

Same. I forwent the Mopar lift and ended up going with all Teraflex:

2.5 spacer lift
Front LCAs
Front / Rear Adjustable track bars

ZERO complaints.

When using other than OEM control arms up front, you might be required to change wheels to move the tire out so they clear the new lower control arms when turning.

i wanted to keep my stock wheels, which is why I kept the stock control arms and went with the AEV 2.5 lift.

Do you have a link for that? Cheapest I'm seeing is $1499.

That's for a Wrangler JL.

Mine had the Mopar 2" lift installed when I bought it almost 2 years ago now. Zero issues. Mine is simply a daily driver, so take that into consideration. Very happy with the handling and drivability. It's a nice smooth ride which is what I was looking for as a DD.
Took a road trip from Nebraska to San Diego and back last year and loved it - even with the 37s

Similar sentiments for me regarding this truck and the Mopar 2" lift. Hardest off-roading it may ever see would be some easy trails in Windrock. I wanted new shocks, and the Mopar 2" lift that included the remote reservoir Bilsteins was essentially the same price as buying just the shocks separately. Installed in about 4 beers worth of a Sunday afternoon in our shop.

For the JT:

Similar parts, but probably different enough to not bother messing with.

sorry. I got mixed up. I’ve got a Gladiator and a Wrangler and I post on both forums.
