I'm offended. loljust put a neck collar on the bumpstop, like a whiplash patient, I don't think I'd trust this "fix"
confirmed I have a "whiplash" patient in my driveway ...Ha Ha HA !!Yup... 6376AA, 6377AA, and 6378AA are the springs used in the 2021's, ... at least on Rubicons. Hopefully a '22 Rubicon owner like @SargeDiesel can check and report their spring numbers. 6377AA might be ok for a Sport, but questionable on a Rubicon.
'Cause if they DIDN'T stiffen the springs for 2022 Rubicons, and just put a neck collar on the bumpstop, like a whiplash patient, I don't think I'd trust this "fix"
So many good questions... I was going to ask the collar question too. I could see if they put a Mojave style gas bump in there, but not a little plastic ring. Mine has been at the shop since Wednesday... no idea what they are doing this time... Since the first shop could not "replicate" the issue I took a local Service Tech on a drive and showed him the problem. But based on earlier posts I am losing confidence that this will get a real resolution. That collar looks like some Engineer googled "how do you stop a car from bottoming out" and then applied the same fix he found to a top of the line off road machine.confirmed I have a "whiplash" patient in my driveway ...Ha Ha HA !!
Maybe you can explain..(take away that I have the lift installed, I would be just like @22EcoDs , same springs and a "collared" bump stop on my JTRD.. How would a collar fix anything ? I can see it would stop the bottom plate from contacting the metal lip of the upper bump stop housing, but now it seem it would just hit the plastic collar.... if hard enough, couldnt it crack... Am I missing something, how is this a fix... Also looking at the bulletin posted, is says only the 2021 Rubicon with the 26R package will be covered in the fix... how is that.. if everything's the same on the 2022 (except the collar?)... Why are some getting a lift installed for free instead of having the collars installed ? because if it turns out the Mopar lift is the fix, people like me shouldn't be penalized for purchasing it ourselves..IMO
LOL...confirmed I have a "whiplash" patient in my driveway ...Ha Ha HA !!
Looks like the Mopar lift bottom bump plate is different than stock also, if I'm looking at 22EcoDs pictures right. On the Mopar lift, they look more cylinder shaped with a flat face , made out of metal. The OEM , looks more domed and made out of a type of rubber...So many good questions...

My money on @Rock Krawler Suspension and their 1.5" Diesel leveling springs... Hoping for more info!
I really would like to understand that. I am curious about the tube length, was it cut back?Great set of pics @SargeDiesel ! Really helps a lot.
A couple of notes:
1) It looks like the design of the new bumpstop collar is meant to flex outward and get pinned in-between the strike plate and lip of the spring retention tube collar at full compression. That might deaden the blow a bit so it's not metal on metal, but how long until that wears out?
2) @SargeDiesel measures 3 5/8" from strike plate to said tube collar lip... as compared to OP's and other 2021 owner measurements of 2 1/2" to 3" (ref: post #24 and on at this thread).
So how do they get 2022's to more than 3 1/2" of uptravel with the same springs as 2021's? Did they cut the tube length back? Stiffer shocks? (that should only affect dampening, not lift). Different spacing on the spring seats? ???
Thanks.. good pics make a world of difference and sometime can explain thing better than words..... Glad they are helpful !Great set of pics @SargeDiesel ! Really helps a lot.
