2 inch Mopar lift for JTRD

[Smess]

1.5 spacer made the truck level with diesel, Mopar lift seems to sit pretty level with no help.

I did my install this past weekend. Didn't need an alignment. Didn't need trackbar. I used daystar 3/4 level.Install was actually pretty easy and straight forward. Took me and a buddy a little over a 4 hours in the garage and. The hardest part was breaking control arms loose.

Can you post more pics tire and wheel specs?

@Pfitter the rims are actually the stock steelies. 17x7.5 with 35x12.5 ridge grapplers

Back in March I had to make a lot of calls to find the Mopar 2” diesel lift kit. I got the last one in the state of Utah. The dealer knocked 10% off the list price. I called different dealers for installation and found one willing to do it for $450, including alignment. I didn’t add any pucks or track bars. I then mounted 35‘s on Black Rhino Abrams. I’m happy with the way it rides and drives, I found the highway and down in Moab.

So lift installed with 3/4 inch front spacer by dealership. I was told that I need to come back for a re-torque on all the bolts when I hit around 500 miles. Sounds reasonable. Everyone else doing this? My days of wrenching are over so ..... back to the dealership I guess.

BTW. Truck feels great. Nice and level. Not too jarring a ride at all. Quite comfortable actually. Steering is fine also. All in all .... pretty happy with the set up.

Next up. 37" tires and wheels.

Has anyone with a diesel had this lift done but kept the stock size tires? I Would like to see pics of this setup.

Just did mine this weekend. Currently 33s on it. Will be doing wheels and bigger tires at some point.

About 4 hours to install Mopar Lift, back was the toughest.
35’ Nitto Terra
17’ Black Rhino

Currently finishing up my install. Anyone have problems with the upper bolts on the new front sway bars?? I get the nuts half way on and then the entire stud freezes. I'm at the point now where I'm just going to pick up a set of quick disconnects from 4wp and call it done.

Also, this project has taken me 10+ hours over 2 days. I must be mechanically challenged
I fumbled around for a while trying to get the new lower control arms to line up and installing the new front bump stops was a super pain!! My fingers are too fat to fit in the tiny space.

Currently it's one the stock 33's (I'll post a pic when I'm finally done) but I have some new wheels on the way and then will be putting on some 35's

How is everybody liking their lifts and tires? Im prob going to have Gupton do this before it pick it up. What is everybody mpgs?

My dad and I did the lift in about 4 hours in my garage. The toughest part is breaking the control arm bolts loose! Tight as hell... We ended up not breaking the front control arms loose and everything still popped right in.

I love my setup right and it's been almost 7k miles already! I did install 3/4 daystar spacers and ended up installing 3/4in hubcentric wheels spacers(the factory steelie don't have enough backspacing with the nittos and I rub the frame when flexing front and rear) I have had many compliments with my rig surprisingly

And I did re-torque the lift kit bolts and wheel spacers bolts after around 500 miles. I'm planning on checking them again this weekend... Better safe than sorry!

My front axle was off center 1/4 inch in stock condition off the assembly line. With ANY lift you need an adjustable track bar.
