2" Mopar Lift Installed - Learned a Few Things

[Dos704]

Same I did mopar with 1” spacer geo brackets and mopar LCA’s was at 7.7 caster. Removed the mopar lca,s kept geo brackets came back down to 6.8 I may change out to Clayton upper and lower adjustable arms. I also did carrier drop spacer and yeti front and rear track bars.

I just removed the Rancho drop brackets. Now running the Mopar 2" lift, 1.5" leveling kit and the slightly longer Mopar control arms. I won't have it re-aligned just yet, but I can honestly say it rides a little harsher now. The drop brackets really smoothed out the ride. Part of me wants to re-install them even though they cause too much caster.

Rancho without the longer mopar arms.

Impressive. Which mounting hole did you use? The one for 2.5” lifts I’m assuming?

I'm curious because I had the mopar lift on my JL with these rancho brackets and alignment sheet said it only put me at 5.5°.

They don't cause too much caster at all. Just use your factory lower control arms not the ones from the lift

I would never run a 2.5”-> lift with jsut those longer lowers.

I don’t know………….
Rubicon and Sport max tow have the same 6250 lbs GVW rating and share the same axle set ups and all. Minus lockers and some under carriage armor.
Regular sport and Willie’s have the lighter 5800 lbs GVW.
Seems like 300 bucks and a loss of clearance is an expensive way to just “try it". lol.

It don't matter how much weight they gross its how much each weighs empty thats why most lift kits give a sport almost an inch more lift than a Rubi

I was strongly considering this setup as well. For now I decided that removing the drop brackets is one less part to get hung up.

Upper hole.

Upper hole.

Interesting I think that’s the hole for our 2.5” lifts. I wonder why mine didn’t quite pan out around 6.5° where I’d like it
