The LCA on the MOPAR lift are longer than stock.
Exactly my subtle point as to why adjustable arms are not necessarily needed for the MOPAR lift.

People rule out the MOPAR lift just because it doesn’t have adjustable arms for some reason.

Only thing you you might need is an adjustable front track bar.

I'm honestly not impressed by the ride after installing mine. Not sure if something is wrong (have over 10,000 miles on the kit) but it definitely rides a lot different than before. Thinking about upgrading the shocks to something nicer/adjustable.

The mopar kit is really cheap compared to the aftermarket kits. parts are sold separately so it’s easy to compare price. the only expensive part in the kit is the fox 2.5inch shocks( yes they cost more then 2.0s)

For example, the lower control arm in the mopar kit is only $30. Or$60 total. Clayton charges $450.Yes they are better, but you pay for it. Mopar lift spring are $77 each. Clayton are $100 each. Sooo it’s not like there is price gouging for the OEM stuff. It’s actually a good value.

I am losing my mind. I've called 3 local dealers to me and they say that the stock JT Rubi comes with the mopar 2" lift kit...I just don't feel like thats accurate.

That isn't accurate. Rubi's have different fenders, and yes, different suspension, but it's not the lift kit.

Much appreciated! I didn't think it was accurate at all, but they swear it comes standard.

I am sure dealerships get their fair share of glue sniffing customers, but it irks me hearing stuff like this of them being absolute retards on their products sometimes.

I feel like this most times when I walk into parts and service:

Very happy with the Mopar kit on my JTRD. More than 19,000 miles now, with 18,000 or so with the kit. Great ride on the road, in town and highway, and so far not a complaint on trails or mild rocks. Hard to beat dealer installed and warranty covered as well.

A lot more adjustability with complete front/rear control arms and front/rear track bars. Comes at the expense of not having shocks with the kit but most would be selecting what they want on a separate purchase not have to accept what is given with them on the MOPAR kit.

The MOPAR kit really is for those that what a once and done lift with some resemblence of having a dealership backed warranty.

Both have their +/-.

I don't claim to be an expert at all....but I believe the Clayton Overland kit is also intended for people that not only want to lift the vehicle, but also to regularly carry heavy loads while offroading. From what I understand the mopar kit is much more toward the soft riding side with a standard or only light load of gear.

With ~1,100 lbs decomposed granite in the bed, I still had about 2.5” of down travel.

The mopar lift has done well for me.

My dealer offered me the Mopar kit for $2,100 out the door including install and a terraflex spacer to take out some of the rake. It will be backed by the factory warranty and I already know that I’ll find my limits well before the trucks, so I went Mopar. Made my choice pretty easy I feel like.

I just dropped mine off about 30 minutes ago to get the Mopar.. They said not to add the spacer unless I added the adjustable Track Bars which isn't in the budget for now. Did you add track bars or notice a shift in the axel after it was lifted?
