Mopar 2" Lift Part Number AB vs AC?

[StingyJT]

Was It the $1249 from Athens Jeep?

Wholesale Direct Parts. Control arms were shipped separate from the crate, but I’ve read other people received theirs separate too.

This could just be me; but i think the later versions of this lift are coming out taller than the earlier versions. That mopar lift looks about as tall as the lift i put on my Mojave; which would make it 3” anyone measure to confirm?

I hope so...to be honest, I feel like the kits have “looked” all over the place for a while....but I do hope you’re right because on average people were reporting 2-2.5”, while the JLs have been reporting 3-3.5” (and the Mopar kit on my JK was easily 3”)

What would make it easy would be if people making lifts and tires simply make accurate listings. “35” tire” “2” lift to stock vehicle” “2.5” lift at expedition weight” etc

Well after doing weeks and weeks of back and forth, a million different possible approaches , finally pulled the trigger on the Mopar...should be the -AC (latest) revision, I’ll measure before and after for sure and report back

did your lift arrive?

Yea It did, going in Friday!

I actually already did the preliminary measurements of my stock JTRLE...gonna put on my “35s” and take new measurements, then put the lift on and take final measurements

 

[Eric Kern]

So I did two measurements on each corner, the first was from the bottom of the middle rivet on the fender flare, the second was from the bottom of the rock rail directly behind /in front of the fender flare...listed below is gain from lift only (new tires contributed to additional lift)

Driver Front:
1)1.875”
2)1.6875”

Driver Rear:
1)1.875”
2)1.625”

Passenger Front:
1)2.0625”
2)2”

Passenger Rear:
1)2”
2)1.875”

Truck: 2020 JTR Launch Edition

Honestly, a little shocked with the gains, put the “same lift” on my JKUR, gained 3-3.5” all around (and that was measured from the rock rails only)

And just a random observation, the directions on the Mopar are completely contradictory at steps 22,23,24 (step 22 says spring isolator “M” goes on the left and isolator “N” goes on the right...steps 23 and 24 show the opposite....but, what I noticed is my Rubi already had these exact part numbers installed, so essentially I just took out my old ones and put the fresh ones in that came with the kit.....but the confusion comes with everyone saying that Mopar rev’d the right isolator to accommodate/ fix the “spring bowing” issue (its at -AC)...but this is obviously BS as they were already in my LE....UNLESS, non Rubi’s have completely different isolators and now they’re putting the Rubi isolators in the lift kit, and that’s where people are getting some extra lift?!?!?!

I forgot to warn you. I encountered this but found another forum post to help me sort it out. My recollection is the first picture is correct.

Yeah #22 was the correct layout.

Per the engineers the bow flex is meant to be there. It's not supposed to be fix.

My front springs have no visible bow in them. I did not use any spacers.

A few more observations to maybe answer some questions folks may have.

I ordered the kit 04/18/21 from Amazon/Athens Dodge Chrysler Jeep for the $1250 price. I noticed sometimes the sellers and price change. It was as high as $1699.
The AB part number was on the website and invoice. What I actually received was the AC part number.
The spring isolators are marked L and R so no problem figuring out where they go.
Final lift achieved on a Sport max tow was 3 1/4" front and 2 1/2" rear.

LE has taller suspension from the factory.
