Ordering my lift kit and think I have covered most the bases but wanted any additional input. I know this is subjective and also the intended use can change things. It will be installed on a 2022 Sport S Diesel used to commute daily, occasionally tow 5k pounds and some mountain road travels. Looking for things like real track bar, control arms, brake lines, bump stops, etc. I will be adding TOYO 35"x11.5"-R17" tires, thanks for any input.

1: Mopar 2" lift kit
2: Teraflex Alpine IR adjustable track bar
3: Teraflex 1.5" Performance spacer kit (bring front up an extra 1")
4: Fox 2.0 though shaft steering stabilizer

I went Mopar lift with similar tire size in the Patagonia's and had to do a wheel spacer to move the wheels out 1.75" . Nothing rubs, everything works,and the ride is awesome!.. am looking to add the Fox thru shaft stabilizer only to upgrade and match the Fox shocks . Not sure about the track bar needing an upgrade but it can't hurt. You are on the right track!

Thanks JT Life,

I am surprised you needed a spacer, I am going with a set of AEV Salta's with a bit more offset then the stock wheels. Maybe I should look at this closer so I can avoid the expense of spacers.

Geometry correction brackets. You’re steering and sanity will thank you.

I am running stock wheels with the stock offset whatever that is...
But I'm happy!

Can you explain bit more please?
Geometry correction brackets give you back caster which improves steering after a lift. They’re an inexpensive option for most drivers who dont want to, or can’t afford to, add upper and lower control arms.

I have the Mopar lift, 35" toyos, and wheels with -18 offset and everything clears just fine with no spacers. I too have the fox steering stabilizer to match the shocks, and an Evo Adjustable front track bar, and it rides very nice.

I've had Saltas for quite a few miles. There's not much offset over stock.
With 37s and no lift there was occasional light rubbing. With a 3½" lift (though I haven't really put it through its paces) I haven't had any rubbing.

I wonder why Mopar gives you (front?) control arms and no other control arms.

this has actually always bothered me too. I have a set of adjustable rear LCAs in my garage just waiting for my truck to be back from the stop. With 2in of lift you can see your springs at an odd angle in the rear. Im sure its nothing but it bothers me knowing it exists.

If I wasn't so worried about factory warranty I'd Put a Terraflex suspension on.
