Lift kit questions.

[wanderer]

I keep looking at 37$. Heaven help me. That means a lift. If I understand this correctly lifting the jt changes all kinds of geometry things so you need more than just the springs and shocks I guess you need and I am fuzzy here trackbar, controls arms, upper and lower ? What else? So the Mopar does not? Contain all this. How are dealers installing these without all tha stuff. My goal is to run 37s with as close to or better than a stock rubicon ride? I only want 2.5 inches and don’t want to impair my towing or weight capabilities.
What lift kits are you running and why? And what are the costs? I don’t need no 8900 lift

You are correct that lifting the Jeep changes the factory geometry, due to the increased angles you are now introducing to all of your control arms and track bars. This is why it's important to replace these components with longer, adjustable units so that you're suspension isn't binding up and you are able to dial your geometry back in, especially if you are looking to achieve from-the-factory-like ride quality. Our Overland Plus kit has been a popular option for many looking to improve upon ride quality both on and off road, and the bushings we use are completely maintenance free so you don't have to worry about any re-greasing or cleaning. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, and forum discounts are always available to members!

i am in the exact same boat as you... i want 37s but im very rarely or ever going to take this rock climbing... trails, camping, mudding, little fun yes... and defanitely looks...

but i still want it to ride good like yourself, and i want it to be correct.

i think im going to spend the little extra over the mopar lift and get the clayton... and then uprgrade the shocks to the falcons, if not at the same time then for sure later.... i was also considering the mopar lift and then adding all the control arms or whatever is missing...

keep me posted...
