Is this normal for Mopar 2” lift ??

[JeepTaco]

Yes. It's a Japanese car brand that's known for durability and reliability. I'm trying to get them to like each other.

The "slinky" had me rolling lol.

Welcome ot the forum, @MaxStrategery

Definitely someone a little too wild with the pry bar and BFH. They also failed to check the steering wheel after the lift was installed. As noted, a few easy fixes, but looking at your low milage I'm assuming this was a dealer instal? If so, I'd go back and make them make it right. You paid for it, it should be done right.

And then get out there and enjoy. I've got more than 50K on my sting grey with a Mopar lift, and it still rides well and gets me everywhere I want to go.

Ok my 35” new bfg’s just measured 33.75” mounted. WTH?

Totally normal to measure below spec under the weight of the truck! If looking into details of tire specs the norm is to be in the 34.4 to 34.8 inch area for "35's" unmounted.

Ok. Thanks. Interesting. Im getting 33.75. So wow a big drop.

Hello all. Picked up new rig today and some peculiar goings on post-lift. Any thoughts? New control arms look damaged from install. W
Should I ask for arm replacements?

I recently picked up some new from a dealer Mopar lift kit lowers to add to my Mojave, they were scratched up already.. those scuffs are nothing to care about.

I think my Falkens measure just about the same under the Jeep. When wheeling and airing down they get even shorter! But at the same time the contact patch of the tire to the ground gets bigger.

Thanks. Quick questions. Did you regear before or after 37’s? Did you run 35’s at any point?

I ran 35” BFG KO2s for the first 47K, and they were great. They measured out at 34.25” at 36psi, and treated me very well. I jumped to 37” Mickey Thompsons, which measure close to 36.5”, just a few months ago. I didn’t regear, but I’m driving the diesel so I’ve got enough low-end grunt to make it work. So far so good.

That or pay like $150 at a Firestone and have alignments for life.

I read on here from another forum member that firestone won’t touch anything that’s been lifted.

Firestone fixed me up.

I just know them for blowing head gaskets. There's one parked beside my garage.

BFGs are notoriously small compared to their side markings. Good tires, just run small. I had Cooper 34s that were a bit taller than BFG 35s.
