Is the Mopar 2 inch lift actually bad?

That's for a Wrangler JL.

For the JT

That appears to be the older version with the Fox shocks, if it matters to someone. The newer models have remote reservoir Bilstein 5160s.

Yep, just did some checking & the kit with the Bilstein reservoir shocks start at around $1600.
I do feel that I netted well over the 2" lift height advertised though.

2" advertised lift height is based off of being installed on Rubicon models. For Sport models, it can be like 3"-3.5" from stock

All I had as a baseline was comparing it to getting into my 2010 JKU with a 2.5" lift and getting into the JT. Big difference.
Thanks for that info. I was searching around for an answer shortly after I bought it but couldn't get a definitive number anywhere, thanks man!

I have the Mopar lift on my 24 Mojave
With the Bilsteims- I got 3.5 inches to my surprise. I like the lift and have had no issues. I have a 170 pound RTT on a bed rack that weighs 100 lbs. and a 270 degree awning and there is minimal sway and no apparent sag on the rear suspension from the extra weight, very satisfied

I believe I netted 3.5" as well

Same. On the current Rubicon. It expedited my new larger tire purchase

I got the same result on my Sport S max tow as well.

Was thinking the Mopar kit minus the rear springs, add rear spacers to keep my rear max tow springs and air lift bags. Also add a front adjustble trac bar. Thoughts?

It’d be nice to know the spring rate of both your springs and the Mopar 2” lift springs. The lift springs might have a higher rate.

I picked up used Mopar lift on Offer Up and put new Eibach shocks and Apex disconnects. got 3" lift, great ride and added a lot of travel. very happy, no issues. $1200 total. did labor myself... 64 years old and proud of it! lots of getting up and down from driveway. Milwaukee 3/8 impact was priceless.

I have no plans to offroad heavy so stock spring rate or the difference beyond whats needed for the lift. I know the rears on max tow work well just want to match up with the new fronts.
