Yikes. That doesn't sound promising, considering these are the ones that I was leaning towards haha.
I can’t say a negative thing at all about the quality. Fit and finish is great. But there’s a downside to form-fitting. You’ve got to get everything just right. If I had to do it again, I would get the covers on however possible, leave them for a day or two to stretch, then go back and do the fine adjustments. I don’t know if that would be any better, but at least it’ll give you a day or two to calm down.

I wonder why some are having such a issue. Mine drives like a champ with 2.5" lift and 35's. Haven't done any track bar, tie rod or stabilizer upgrades and don't plan to. Mine rides freakin awesome
Do you have the Max Tow package, I wonder if it has something to do with the different builds.
I upgraded everything but 410 gears.

I’m not sure about everyone but I see a ton of complaints about the steering on these. I took mine today down back country road ,curves pot holes bumps you name it and it tracked perfect. My wasn’t horrible from factory but well noticed that something was off. Just took a few upgraded parts and patience to dial it in.

If anyone is having issues this was well worth it. Even if yours is good this would make it better.

Just pulled the trigger on RIPP supercharger today. Already have tuner and ECU on the way but will probably have to wait a few weeks on the install as I’ve already went from front to back changing parts and adding upgrades cause I only have 348 on the od.
Shops are telling me at least 1200 miles minimum before installing for break in reasons.

Will post update when complete with dyno sheets.

First test run with the 35s and the supercharger. Ran with a few glitches. Check engine popped on with a “too rich” code. We should have it done with the exhaust being installed next week. Also did the Mopar bumper.

Overall the power is awesome. Just need that exhaust to get the little lag I have to smooth out. Going to replace the tires with BFGs. I thought the tires were a bit noisy over 50. Also I will get a hardtop in the future that should help a bit more. Did a 1 1/2” rear, 2” front puck lift. I might back that down since it might screw up my plowing setup. I already made the adjustment with the 35s.

As we tweak the tune, the interesting part is that I'm getting 18mpg with the added power. We did adjust the speedo, and I do drive on the aggressive side. We'll see how it holds up with the added changes.

You will really like the Mopar matts. Perfect fit, ez to remove, clean and reinstall. Every bit as good as the Weathertech product I’ve used in virtually every vehicle I’ve owned in the last decade. PLUS they have a neat topo map design with a subtle jeep and Dino-skull hidden in them. A+ 5 star rated from me!
