Those with the 2" lift kit, are you happy with what it offers? Is getting taller springs, replacement shocks and control arms worth it over doing a front and rear coil spacer kit with falcon shocks?

I'm happy with mine. I found the lift springs to be a little softer than the stock rubicon springs, so the back end doesn't hop around as much.

If you ever had the chance to drive a vehicle with a spacer lift versus a proper spring lift, you would choose the latter and twice on Sundays.

Before my JTR I had a JKU and did a spacer lift with Rancho 9000 shocks. The ride quality between that and my JTR with the Mopar 2" is night and day. I know I am not comparing apples to apples, but the difference was astronomical. The Mopar lift is worth every penny in my mind.

I considered the Mopar 2", but ended up with the Clayton 2.5" Ride Right.

I don't like how the arms in the Mopar kit are fixed length. No ability to adjust caster seems silly to me.

I have a jtr. I'm running an "Iron Rock" 2 inch spacer lift with shock extensions. I would never argue that one or the other is "better". That being said, for my use, I find the spacer lift with stock suspension is just fine for me. It rides and drives as stock. I like the extra clearance and don't notice any lack of capability.
I think that there are a lot of folks here for whom the difference of $1,400 bucks is a really big deal. If I had the disposable income to do a Mopar or other "proper" lift I'd have gone that route. For me, balancing my own swag and brag with important family budget things made my choice easy. My Jeep does what I want it to do. I have $1,400 dollars left to keep my family happy.
Not all of us have an other, other driver. I read and evaluate the stuff written here, but make my own decisions independent of what the group thinks. Not everyone needs the same hardware.
Your results may vary.....

This was the spacer lift I was considering after viewing Jeep gadgets and gear on YT

Nice system what do they include for shock spacers if anything? I have seen most kits 2"+ either come with some sort of longer shock or spacer adapters.

If the arms were the proper length, then there would be no need to adjust. Now if after the Mopar lift goes on and proper caster can not be obtained... Technically, a warranty issue LoL

The Iron Rock kit comes with shock extension brackets. The whole kit is as nice as I've seen. You will need to add bump stop spacers. Either theirs or other 2".

Very happy with the Mopar lift. I've had this lift on my last 2 Jeeps. Perfect for what I need, and it won't break the bank.

Very Satisfied with the MOPAR Lift.

Only regret is I did not take Before & After pics of my Gladiator.

The LCA on the MOPAR lift are longer than stock.
