Mopar 2” lift question please

[Dmehrl]

I ordered the 2” mopar lift kit today, so I need anything else like track bar, etc.. ? Or can I just get it installed and be done ? Thanks in advance!

The track bar centers your front axle. Not necessary, but generally recommended. Should be fine otherwise!

Thanks for quick response !

Nothing else is required per Mopar. Some prefer to add aftermarket trackbars to re-center the axles. Many have installed the Mopar lift as is with great results, including myself. I would recommend this lift for mild to moderate offloading.

I’m not an off-roader actually, I just want 2” lift along with the nice shocks. More for looks than anything ?.

Good choice then ?. And staying with OEM parts may make any future issues less complicated.

I have this lift also. Your front axle will be .5 inch off center after lift is installed. That's really not a big deal, but I have an adjustable trackbar on the way for mine. The rear will be fine without replacing the stock trackbar because it has a more horizontal mounting position to start with. I will also say, that most of the people that have installed this lift also add .5 - 1 inch spacer in the front to level the truck out. I have those sitting on my bench right now, just need to find the time to install.

I have the tereflex 1-1/2 level installed already. Think I will leave that in.

Yep, leave that in, and see how it looks.

Lift kit is on its way, but now I’m nervous, ordered it off Amazon, part # 77072468AB. Turns out this has changed to 77072468AC. Anyone know the difference, anyone have the “AB” version on there’s ?

Could be supplier of some bolt, or a different bushing supplier, different paint spec, or some other minor change. That's a real small change and won't normally be apparent (you will have trouble telling if you compare) and will not impact performance, etc. It's a minor revision, nothing more. Zip to be concerned about.

i'm not sure of the real difference, but when i ordered the lift from the dealer, they invoiced it as AB but the box said AC.

I added an adjustable track bar when I got my Mopar 2" lift just to have the axel centered properly. Seems like its not the end of the world if you don't do that, but I'm happy with my choice to add one...I want everything to work as well as possible. I will probably add adjustable control arms and a few other things down the road just to improve the ride even more.

I got the Steer Smart YETI XD Pro track bar, and that thing is SOLID. Seriously, I laughed out loud when I compared it to the stock track bar. Feels good having such solid parts underneath the Jeep - after seeing the quality of the track bar, I am planning to add their Drag Link with Griffin XD Attenuator next.
