JT Sport S - Recommend a 2inch lift for daily driver

[56cbr600rr]

This is what the 4x4 shop is pushing. Any other additional parts? Did your axel shift much? 3.73 gears with 35s?

I see somewhere below somebody said the company might be bankrupt. That should not matter as all of the parts are made out of metal, not the acrylic or plastics like a lot of the other kits. I’m pretty particular, and to me the it pretty much drives like stock. I knew I could add something to adjust the axle and or track bar later, but after it’s been installed, I don’t believe I need it. I’d be willing to bet if you did this Kitt, you’d be happy with it as it is.

i’m a sport as Max too. So identical to yours except for gearing.

2020 Sport S w/maxtow on 35s
I’ve had good luck with finding used parts on marketplace. I’ve been running this setup for a couple years and I’m pretty happy with it for daily driving. It sits level without the steel bumper and winch but with them it has some rake.
Front: Teraflex 1.5” spacer on Mojave coils, Mopar lift LCAs and Rubicon Fox Shocks.
Rear: Teraflex 1.5” spacer on factory coils.

Interesting, a rear teraflex spacer? Where is that part, I thought they only had a 1.5 front spacer?

I mentioned ReadyLift being bankrupt. I didn't realize the 2.5" SST kit is a spacer kit. I agree, doesn't matter if they are bankrupt if this is the kit you're considering. There is nothing in this kit that should be a potential warranty item and there is nothing you'd need to replace as a maintenance part.

@Sigz , are you sure a spacer kit is going to give you the look you are after?

You already have a spacer kit. It's not going to be much visual difference to add 1" to it.

Good question. Part of me thinks a nice budget lift will help with aesthetics. Driving around and seeing a bunch of JT's and JL's on 35s with whatever lift they have, I get a little envious as it is a great lookin setup.

I'm sure more then anything that makes the Jeeps pop is the tire size.... My "33's" (32.7) 285/70/17 sort of look weak with the overall look I'm wanting. So maybe the 35" tire is the route I should really be going... I don't know. I think I just have too much time thinking of how to waste money on this awesomely depreciating object.

You can run 35s with your leveling kit.

Do you still have stock wheels?

I do not, I have the Quadratec Morphic Wheel.

So you're all set for 35s. What are you waiting for?

Haha. True true.

I guess I'm waiting for my 33s with around 18k to wear down a little more. Just sorta game planning my moves so to speak.

Looking at the Mopar 2 inch lift, and I was wondering if its suggested to install adjustable trac bars both front and rear?

Definitely. Good deals at Metal Cloak rn. Hell I may grab another rear one since mine doesn’t have the bend. I’m tired of having my spare in the bed lol

Thanks for the tip. I here its a good kit, but not a complete kit. Looking at what other components to get in order to make it complete. Any other suggestions? I'll take them.. Thanks.

None that come to mind outside of replacing all the control arms. Probably overkill though. I don’t have the Mopar lift kit, so I’m just going off what I’ve read from other owners. As is, I’ve only read good things about it, especially when replacing the track bars.

Edit: If you’re adding a bunch of weight or towing heavy then maybe research more. I’m not sure how the springs handle loads.

 

[NorthCountry]

Awesome, Thanks! This is a light weight build. No heavy loads. Running 33 inch Toyo's with 3:73 gears. Just cruising down fire service roads and around the farm. Maybe get a rack for my canoe and some camping gear. Nothing extreme, just a puddle jumper.
