It's being installed on my 24 JTR as we speak. I'll have something to say about it in a week or so. I had the Fox Mopar lift on my 2022 and it worked well. There are other opinions on here.

Hey all. I have a Mopar Bilstein lift kit being shipped. I'll let you know how it is, after I install and test it out. I've read that the Belstein's are a little stiffer than the Fox, so that's what I went that route. Better for rock crawling IMHO.

I installed the 35x11.50 Toyo Open Country A/T3's last week, and did someild off-roading (forest service roads), with no rubbing. Great tires.

I may install a 3/4" spacer, in addition to the kit

I have the bilstein mopar lift kit on my 2024.
I had the fox on my 2020.
To be honest there is not much difference on the highway.
Havent been off road with it yet.

Waiting to hear your opinion about the differences between the two. As I said, I installed the 35x11.50R17's a few days ago, and have taken it on some mild trails. Still waiting on the 2" Mopar Bilstein Lift. I hit the forest service roads nearly every week, some baja-style, and some at .6mph in 4lo. Haven't had to use the 10-k Warn winch...yet. Nor have I scraped the belly or tail. No rubbing, but I haven't really "pushed it"...yet.

Nope. After talking with my local dealer, then doing the research, I went elsewhere for my lift needs. BTW, I ended up with 35x11.50R17's as well.

On the 2020 I replaced the fox shocks with bilstein 5100 felt firmer
