JL/JT Leveling Kit - Coil Lift / THOUGHTS?

[JTguy2020]

What lift setup will? Nothing?

He was saying that the Mopar 2 inch lift will not keep the factory ride… Someone mentioned they’re going to do the Mopar 2 inch lift so they can maintain the stock ride but once you mess with the suspension it takes away from that

Yaaa I was just asking which lift wouldn't mess with it to much? Just a small spacer lift?

He was referring to the Mopar 2 inch lift that I had on my JL… I was not impressed with it - it drive good in the beginning I had my JLR exactly a year before I got rid of it and got the JT

I will never do a suspension lift again because it takes away the smoother soft ride of the stock Suspension. I just added Rubicon 33 inch tires and wheels and everything is perfect

I’ve always had 2 inch coil spring lifts on my JL’s - I’m waiting for them to come out for the JT as of now they only have the front to level it out

A spacer lift may be the only option to keep your ride as close to factory as possible. Again, as soon as you start adding bigger/stiffer tires and altering the geometry of your suspension, the ride quality will change. There is no getting around this. The question becomes how much ride quality are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve the look you are going for? Ways to mitigate that change in ride quality include choosing a "C" load tire vs an "E" load tire and choosing a quality suspension vs a cheaper low budget suspension if you must change out your suspension. But still the factory ride quality will be altered. Some like it and some hate it. But don't let anyone fool you by telling you their lifted Jeep or lifted Gladiator rides better than the stock set up did.

Oooof y’all seriously make me doubt everything i think i know about jeeps

If the MOPAR lift sucks that bad ill just stick to my spacers, ride is pretty much the same as stock. My 35’s have raped my mpg though.

ive never had a problem with coil spacers - the moment u do touch suspension its iffy. although others may say its fine but i'm a picky mofu and want a nice smooth ride. its my preference to have coil spacer. and once they come out ill be doing that., along with wheel spacers seeing they are removing tire anyhow.

It's not that the Mopar lift sucks, it's that it alters the drive away from stock. I have it on my JL. I happen to like it. I installed it on my buddy's JL and he hated it so we took it off and went back to stock. @JTguy2020 also didn't care for his Mopar lift on his JL so IMO it's very subjective. Long story short, any lift (not just Mopar) will change the way your JT or JL drives. Again, it will not drive like factory.

that's what i was trying to convey! ANY LIFT will change the way any Jeep drives. it was IMO i didn't like it. it was nice in begining but at the end. it was horrible.

Im content with my 1.5 alloy usa front and 3/4 daystar rears. Now that ive dialed in my tire pressure it feels basically the same as factory.
