Close to pulling the trigger on the MOPAR 2" Lift. One Question before I do.

No sir ! Mines getting installed Wednesday, I already have the tereflex 1-1/2 level pucks in front which I’m leaving in. Will decide on adding adjustable track bar after the install, because the lift will move the axle to one side or the other after lift is installed. I hear only about 1”. Will see after install

What track bar you getting? Are you doing front and back?

No need to do the back, I haven’t shopped front ones yet, if axle don’t shift much, I won’t install one.

I played it safe for I already had 1.5" puck up front so I went with steering geometry brackets and adjustable control arm to be safe. Everything is fixed in the Mopar kit so there is no adjustability when/if you add more lift.

To answer your question correctly, MAYBE.

Some that have done the MOPAR lift have found they picked up bump steer and/or a harsher ride.
If that does happen, the fastest, easiest fix are the geometry correction brackets.

Seems there is no rhyme or reason why some have a smooth ride and others get the harsh ride, but it does happen.

I think the rhyme and reason is tire choice size or load range. If put on 37s without upgrading track bar, then you’re going to get more bump steer just due to more rotating mass. Folks with 35s on load range C will have be more comfy.
