mopar 2in lift

[MrFahrenheit]

Do you know if you have to ask or get the warranty in writing, or is it automatically if installed by the dealer ?

If a dealer does it, there will be a service ticket in the system for it. I don't know the ins and outs of that process though. It's my understanding it's noted in the system (any dealer can look up the service tickets) so there shouldn't be any issues.

Im guessing each vehicle might be slightly different, so is tgere a possibility my axles will not shift ?

No

What would be the best way to measure for this ?

Thanks for the great information !

There's some youtube videos that go over this. But to summarize them, grab a level and place it against the top sidewall of your tire vertically approximately in the center of the tire front to back. Do not have it touch the bottom of the tire as the bottom has a bulge from the weight of the vehicle and will throw off the measurement. Take a tape measure and measure from the edge of the fender to the level (ensuring the level shows it is indeed level vertically). If your new tires have side lugs, you want to be sure your level is sitting against the same style side lug when measuring each side. Do that for each side and compare the numbers. If you have an adjustable trackbar, lengthen it by half the difference. So if your axle was shifted 1/2" one way, you'd want to lengthen the trackbar by 1/4" to recenter it.

Great info, thanks. I will see next week. Any suggestions on a good affordable brand to use ?

I think they are all pretty similarly priced. I think the steer smarts Yeti one is the only one that is adjustable without having to remove any bolts as it uses a collar and pinch bolts. However, removing a bolt to spin the adjustment end isn't really that big of deal either. Once you get it set your not touching it so the added effort doesn't mean much (to me at least). I bought the Clayton ones but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them if you decide to add track bars.

What I will say, is that track bars are extremely easy to add after the fact. It's two bolts and you don't have to remove anything else or even jack up the vehicle to get it out. If you are on the fence at all you can simply do the lift then drive it for a bit and look at it, measure it, and see if you need/care about adding trackbars. If you end up thinking you want them, then get them and toss em in later.

Can these coupons just be printed off and used? Or where did you get them? As a member of Midwest [Deleted as Spam], I get a discount at local dealer here in Bridgeton, MO. But I'm all about saving a buck or two

If you log into the Jeep owner’s app you can find them on the middle tab. They expire and new ones get posted there. There’s always a coupon.

Adding the lift slightly shifted the front and rear axels to one side. Not a whole lot but enough to bother my OCD.

It’s CDO - you gotta alphabetize it.

$1,800 installed at Lithia here in Helena MT. The ride is better than stock. Didn't have much axle shift. Sport S, no max tow.

Anybody have a pic of the axle shift????

Feel free to go through this thread and then let me know if you can tell which ones have adjustable track bars and which ones don't :

This was exactly my thought/plan. I was also considering the Clayton. I initially wanted to go with their complete setup, but decided for convenience, price and warranty I would go with the Mopar.

Sounds almost exactly like my situation. I was ready to get the Clayton 3.5" overland plus then came across someone selling a brand new Mopar 2" lift on Facebook for $700. Snatched it up and went that route instead. Used the money saved to splurge a bit more on wheels/tires.

I have the Mopar 2" with 3/4" Daystar spacer up front. Been on this lift for 100,000 miles. The only thing that I've added is a falcon thru shaft adjustable stabilizer because I damaged mine on a trail. I tow, haul, and offroad. Very pleased with it.

If you want to see everything that I've done on this lift over the past 2.5 years and 100,000 miles, check out my youtube. It's taken some abuse. Lol

hey guys just wondering whos running the mopar lift and how do you like it?

I had the 2” Mopar lift scheduled but ultimately cancelled & decided against it. The shop where I had my lift done at were removing those lifts weekly due to death wobble that Jeep could not seem to fix. I did my own research here on the forums & there were multiple threads that confirmed what they were telling me was indeed the case. I ended up going with the JKS JVenture 3 - 3.5” lift with the fox 2.0 performance shocks & Yeti steering brace as Trail Jeep’s had recommended. Hopefully Mopar have those issues resolved, but I didn’t want to take a chance. I believe I made the right choice.

$1200 for the 2" MOPAR Lift Kit and 2.2 hours of labor @ $125/hour, total $1475 plus an alignment. All performed by the local Jeep dealer and covered under warranty. It rides great and I'm running 35X12.50X17 Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Gupton is now charging $900+ for installation, I was told initially they were charging around $600 or so, but the techs got with the service managers and said it was taking more time to do the installation, so they upped the price.

So after coupons and some begging my total cost was $2291. ..... $1295. for the lift..... $836. for labor and alignment..... $160 for the Fox Performance Steering Stabilizer.

How do you like the stabilizer? I have one coming in the mail.

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, I do not take delivery until 12/22. I am having the dealer install it, so I won't really have a way to compare it to anything, since I havent driven the vehicle without it.

My property is in a Rural area two miles off the pavement on rough, unmaintained desert road a hilly area with many deep ruts. the Gladiators suspension gets a work out every day., I mainly installed the Mopar lift kit for additional ground clearance needed. I was surprised how much better the ride is over stock I am happy with it.

I installed it on my Rubi Diesel. Would highly recommend it. Be sure to get the steering stabilizer also. It’s not part of the kit. Smoothed out the ride overall. With the diesel I did not get the truck to fully level out so to speak. And yes I did get the kit specifically for diesels.
