Eco diesel Suspension bottoming out on normal roads

[CreepyJeepy]

I have a 1 inch teraflex spacer sitting around that I was considering putting in the front to put a band aid on it... Any ideas if that would cause issues with the suspension?

Stock size tires will not be an issue.

I have the mopar 2" lift kit sitting in my garage that I am going to put on in the next week or so to hopefully reduce / solve this issue.

Question what size bump stop extension do you Recommend for 35" tires? Also should I be running out to get a better steering stabilizer or front adjustable track bar with this kit?

Crazy we have to fix it ourselves. Is Mopar gonna reimburse you for your lift, time, and effort to fix their problem? I won't be lifting mine until they come up with a fix. Maybe if they never do. Damn them. It can't be that hard to fix the issue.

Stopped the bottom out for me... w/out the bump stop spacer. I think it feels better too, but that is probably just my crazy mind since I am not as worried about the big THUD over bumps anymore.

Use the bump stop extensions that come with the kit.
No more bottoming out for me.
The front lift springs are perhaps 1” longer which tells me their spring rate is higher than factory.

You’ll be happy with the mopar lift. I know I am!

by adding the spacer you have extended the shocks and probably put the shock in the sweet spot.. I have Fox 2.0 2.5"-4" lift on my diesel with stell bumper and winch, it didnt ride that great with 3.5" springs. I added the HKS ACOS spacer (because my truck was not level left/right by 1/4") set to 1.5" and the shocks perform much better afterwards.

1" isn't really enough to cause an issue. Slam it in there and get some relief!

If anybody is interested in a teraflex 1.5" kit + a 3/4" daystar kit I'll have them both pulled in the next few days. 100 bucks includes shipping if needed. I am in Denver.

If using stock tires, I would run this without the bumpstops. but everything will be included. DM me

Work on a Sport S Ecodiesel? Could be interested. Just a leveling kit correct?

Yes, will work with no issues! Back is a poly 3/4” shim, front is the full teraflex spacer kit.

But even better I am going to sell the rubicon stock setup, and the 33’s

I’ll post everything once I get it finished. About 1/3 done now

Hmmm... need some help here.

I have the springs on the correct sides, coil isolators are on the correct sides, but passanger side spring bow looks really bad.... Driver side sits in there fine.

Top isolator is in the correct position, bottom isolator as well, spring is fully clocked into the seat.

Do i have a defective spring? it looks straight when it's not in the vehicle...

I haven't torqued anything down yet.

Are both sides like that?

This guy had the same problem, lunch break is over or I'd find out if they figured it out.

no only passenger side.

So the dealer replaced my broken exhaust hanger this morning but said there really was nothing they could do about the bottoming out. They said they could see that the bump stops are pretty beat up already... I've let Jeep Cares know, and I'm still hopeful that Jeep will come up with a replacement/fix. None of my other vehicles have ever had this problem driving on the exact same roads. I love my JTRD, but really don't love this!
