Gladiators on Mopar 2" Lift Kit

[AlpineChip]

Just picked up a '23 Rubicon EcoDiesel and looking to do the Mopar lift with spacer. Question is, what part number? Mopar doesn't list a '23 specific part yet but, I would imagine the current '22 listing would work as there aren't any physical changes to the '23 truck? Thanks in advance...

I absolutely love the ride quality of mine.. it’s a hybrid 2” MOPAR + 3/4” spring spacer front and rear. If you want to level with the MOPAR you need 1.5” spacer in front as the MOPAR lift retains factory 1.5”-2” forward rake… Depending on what model JT you have, some have gotten 3”+ out of this lift, but you will yield at least 2” on the heaviest model (rubicon).
Last year we did a 2500 mile overlanding trip from Texas to Colorado and this year was a 3400 mile overlanding trip to Utah, and I’ll be honest, I’ve driven those routes many times over the years and this is of the most comfortable I’ve been… I run 37 inch tires At 28 psi… Literally driving a cloud. The MOPAR kit in general is adequate for most anything you want to do with your JT, but by comparison of lifts at similar cost, it is missing a few essential items to guarantee proper axle alignment (you should considering adjustable front and rear track bar upgrade), I chose steersmarts because they lead the industry in design and strength. Others to consider are rustys off-road, Clayton off-road, and RockKrawler to name a few for more complete and adjustable components. Here is the link to my install and evaluation… You may find it helpful in the least. O|||||||O

I installed the Mopar lift on my '20 JTR since I put the same lift on my '18 JLUR and loved it. Haven't had a chance to get it off road yet to see how it compares to the JLUR, but on-road is awesome. I have 37x12.5x17 BFG KM3's. 17x9.5 Black Rhino rims have a -18mm offset.

Did you do a gear swap?

I have a 2023 diesel rubi and dealer refused to install the mopar lift 77072468AD which replaced the 77072467AC (listed on the website for diesel jt up to 2022} reason they gave me is that mopar still making adjustments to the lift to be a true diesel kit included the 2022 if I decide to go for it they will not honor any warranty. At least for now
I have other options for lift I know but will like to stick with mopar as I really liked my 2020 rubi with mopar and 37’ rides awesome and warranty is priceless
Q? For the experts should I go for the lift or wait till January more or less when is officially been released for the 23 jt

No I didn't, but I was planning to. I actually sold my Gladiator a few months back. If I had kept it, a gear swap would have been a good investment IMO.

That is the story I am getting. Thanks for posting this. I will be taking a wait and see attitude while still doing the 37s and wheels.

I’ve been running the 7707 2469 AC lift, which was the diesel specific Mopar lift that was released in November 2020. It’s got about 48K miles on it, highways, trails and some rock work. No issues. I ran 35” KO2s up until about 1K miles ago, when I bumped up to 37” Baja Boss ATs. All good.
