So if you get a lift kit, you have to also get a leveling kit? Why doesn't the lift kit have a leveling kit incorporated?

Because it’s a pickup truck. Pickup trucks are meant to carry things in the bed…which weighs it down. The springs are so soft in order to have a tow rating or carrying capacity and not be a hazard to oncoming drivers at night they have to account for these things.

Folks so with the 2 inch. mopar lift 37s don't rub ?

Mopar 2", Clayton front and rear track bars, G2 1.75" wheel spacers and 315/70/17 BFG KO2's.

This is my only pic. The shop is having me come back on Tuesday to retorque all the mounting hardware + dial in the track bars once the lift had a chance to settle after a couple of hundred miles.

The offset axles and steering wheel is driving my OCD nuts. LOL

Nice rig. Love the black grill.

holy BLEEP, are those wheels like $500 each?

… and the beadlock ring bolts aren’t recessed. It would seem the first time they see rock rash the heads will deform preventing a socket from being able to remove them or they’ll slap off all together.

Do you know if these are factory wheels....7.5" wide? They look great. Wondering if stock sport s rims (same 7.5" width) will hold a 35 with the mopar lift and still be funtional when articulating. Different backspacing/offset?

You can look them up, but I believe they’re listed as one of their off-road wheels 8 1/2 wide with +12 back spacing.

While perpetually dealing with Jeep in regards to my 21 Jeep Gladiator, Rubicon, Diesel, the dealership has offered an favorable deal on the mopar 2". Since the Service Bulletin part numbers still, do NOT show actual parts assigned for the front suspension (and it is pure garbage), I have elected to go this route. I know it has those that aren't crazy about it. I fully understand why, but the offer was too good to pass up and I am BEYOND ready to be rid of the terrible bottoming out on everything it encounters.

With that said, I purchased the Steer Smart adjustable front and rear adjustable track bars to be installed as well. Now to figure out what wheels and tires, as I had no intentions of modding this vehicle, as it is my DD and I already have a 76 Bronco project eating my bank account alive. When it is all done, I will supply pictures and opinions of the lift. This forum has been pretty good for gathering general information.

Is your rear shock upside down?

No. They're installed correctly. It's just how the label sits. The label might show differently if they were turned 180 degrees with the other side facing out. I've never checked. The way it sits now doesn't bug me.
