I just dropped mine off about 30 minutes ago to get the Mopar.. They said not to add the spacer unless I added the adjustable Track Bars which isn't in the budget for now. Did you add track bars or notice a shift in the axel after it was lifted?
Not yet… my truck is currently shipping from the factory lol!

After the drive home, I’ll know for sure how soon I may need to be doing the upgrades. With time I will likely get the track bar, steering stabilizer and upper control arms.

My dealer offered me the Mopar kit for $2,100 out the door including install and a terraflex spacer to take out some of the rake. It will be backed by the factory warranty and I already know that I’ll find my limits well before the trucks, so I went Mopar. Made my choice pretty easy I feel like.
Whew, that is $900 of labor for that install! ?

I have the mopar lift and its been great. Adding Airlift 1000 airbags ($100 and about an hour of time) to help when carrying an ATV in the bed. I like this because the standard mopar 2in lift kit ride is pretty good, reasonably priced, and provides the full benefits of longer travel springs. I think I paid $1400 installed from the dealer when my JT was new. Which was only 10 months ago!

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".
I went with a spacer lift, since I wasn't sure how much lift I'd be happy with/need.
The AEV spacer lift includes longer sway bar links, and also a spacer for the driveshaft carrier. Also includes shock extensions, and the ProCal if you want to use that to calibrate for bigger tires instead of adding a tazer or something.
I decided I'd rather spend a little more for the AEV kit (bought used here) than a different one and try to add on shock brackets or something else and spend the same or more.
You decide if that's worth it as opposed to a more basic spacer lift.

I'll say I'm pretty happy for the stock ride and cost. I was planning on upgrading to a real spring/shock lift in the future, btw, in order to get more articulation and more options for shocks.

With ~1,100 lbs decomposed granite in the bed, I still had about 2.5” of down travel.

The mopar lift has done well for me.

Just tossing an amen on the load handling aspect ...

I regularly haul 500 pounds or so of trash and construction debris to the municipal waste center. This load scaled out 740 pounds. It definitely took the slight rake out, but the truck handled well on highway and in traffic.

The 2-inch Mopar lift has been great with my 35s both on and off road. 0 complains and that’s with a HEMI upfront. I am taking it off though later this year as I need more lift

Do you have a pic with the mopar lift with the Atv in the back?
I have a sportsman 850 and I’m a little nervous about how much the rear and is lifted on the truck.

Yep…looks like your packing a lot of short wood…but it looks like she’s handling it well.






Sorry, I couldn’t stop typing?
