mopar 2in lift

[ScottLars]

I installed the Mopar 2" diesel specific kit on my Sport S and have been 100% satisfied. It actually lifted the vehicle closer to 3" all the way around.
Did 1.5" Terraflex level kit in front. Metalcloak adjustable track bars front and rear to get everything centered.
Drives and handles great at all speeds. No death wobble.
Offroad is awesome. Much better ground clearance and no bottoming out. Very good articulation.
Also added Terraflex quick disconnect sway bar links in front.
Still on 33s for now.

So you have a 1.5” spacer plus the Mopar lift?

Yes. Just in the front. But I do have a steel bumper and winch.

Had that in before the lift was installed. So all measurements are truly apples to apples.

have pics of how she stands now??

Here's the pics, 2: MOPAR lift, minus rear springs (using stock), plus 3/4" daystar spacer. One thing I am changing is the rear springs to a Max Tow spring. The stock ones are too soft for towing. It sags too much with just a little weight on the hitch.

funny i was contemplating the exact same thing
should i keep my max tow rear spring on with the mopar lift wouldn't you have to put some spacers in the front?

No dead wobble here. The springs are definitely firmer, but imo the shocks dampened it perfectly. Ride really smooth with the 37s.

I did my lift just about a year ago this month. At the time ShadowsPapa and I were comparing data. He was updating his after buying what I believe was some Rubicon take-off springs. He used the 444/445 max tow springs with the 3/4 Daystar spacers and I had my stock springs with 3/4 Daystar spacers . Based on the measurements he provided me, which was something like 24.5" from center of wheel to fender lip, in the rear, bed empty, I am projecting that the height in the rear should remain the same in that his measurements were the same as mine. The difference in the springs seem not to be the unloaded bed height, but their ability to resist compression under load. Therefore, I'm not anticipating needing any changes in the front and still remaining reasonably level.

thanks. I might use your post to get the same deal ha. i ordered a rubicon gladiator from them the other day.
have you thought abt the 3/4 or 1" front leveling spacer?

I recently installed a mopar factory lift kit with no spacers. But I did swap out the track bar (after chatting with Xraytech) at the same time. It’s a little firmer than factory Rubi suspension Which is great. but the steering felt loose with 36 psi. Dropped to 33psi on and it’s much better. I’m currently on 35s. Drove it a week then swapped out the steering stabilizer with a matching Fox brand. Much nicer now. Next is to add a rear track bar relocation bracket. If anyone has done that already. Please share if it’s worth it. Before and after pics.

newbie question: what is the significance of the white tape on your wheels ?

Well..... Yo uasked for it!? It's a two part answer. What I tell people and what the truth is.?

!. What I tell people: It's a GPS magnetic strip that accurately corrects speed so that you always have correct speed and so you can adjust when on trails and clearing obstacles to prevent damage from speed.?

2. What they actually do: Absolutely nothing!!!??? It's just enjoyment for me when driving on the road to watch people in the car next to me (especially kids). You can actually see their heads rotating with the wheel. I've seen people speed by and then slow down to take a second look. I used to have a gopro mounted on my side windows to catch the action.

I'm that guy that will velcro a cup to my roof to catch people passing and watch the as they blow the horn and point to my roof! Hahaha!

Another Mopar lift on 37's. Paid around $1,100 for the lift, and installed it myself. I also installed this lift on my previous JLUR. I bought a higher lift jack for the JTUR install, which made getting the front springs in much easier.
