Mopar 2” lift wooden crate almost got me.

The only part of an alignment you do with a Mopar lift is re-center the steering wheel.

Toe will not change, the arms are not adjustable, and there are no adjustable track bars in the kit.

I find it amazing how many folk with SFA/SRA Jeeps get duped into getting a 4 wheel alignment. A stock jeep can only align toe and wheel center, some may have an eccentric to allow a slight castor/pinion angle adjustment. Any other alignment parameters, you need the adjustable arms, or a press to tweak the actual axle tubes.

Getting mine installed tomorrow as well. How much are they charging you for the install?

For lift install, steering stabilizer install, Mount and balance new wheels and tires, alignment, recalibrate for new tire size and an oil change I am ball park $1400 out the door.

Are there reports that it negatively impacts ride quality? I don't think I've heard/seen that about the Mopar kit...it definitely didn't have an impact for me.

I have a JTR and replaced the OEM suspension with the Mopar lift and while the degree of difference would be less than say a sport or overland, the shocks are larger so the ride is a bit stiffer. Rock crawling is significantly improved and offroadability should be the reason to install a lift. So a slightly stiffer ride is expected. I like it actually.

I had the mopar lift on my Overland for almost 3 years. The lift is stiffer than the overland shocks and the tires are the big gotcha. Going to 35's with 3.73's is going to make it a slug. You will feel the impact when going up hills. And depending on tire rating it will be bumpier. Choose wisely!

So what I think you meant to say is…. Though the size of the shocks have no bearing on ride quality, the valving, oil viscosity & volume and gas pressure do. When suspension manufacturers get with shock companies these are topics of discussion. The size of the shock can provide for an increased quantity of oil and aid in surface area to aid in cooling and maintain an optimally functioning unit extending the time and or preventing fade or loss of optimal function. The biggest baddest King, Fox, Icon or any other you can think of can be set up to ride like a cloud or a brick.??

Picked up my gladiator with lift and 35s today. The ride is ever so slightly stiffer. 35s are actually quieter than the stock firestone destination MT. I don’t really notice much of a difference as far as acceleration and gas mileage on the 3.73 gears and only dropped between. 1-2 mpg. Drove 100 plus miles today and averaged 20mpg with a mix of highway and city.
