Mopar lift on Rubicon

[wchevron]

Currently have a 1" spacer on the front to level out the rake. Just added 35's and at first was thinking of adding another 1" spacer up front and a 1" in the rear to get a bit more clearance. Then I'd need shock extension brackets in the front and a control arm relocation bracket or adjustable control arms.

I thought I read somewhere the Mopar 2" lift would give you 1" more clearance over a stock Rubicon. So am figuring maybe I install the Mopar lift, to get 1" all around, then add a 1" space in the front to level the rake. I've found some slightly used Mopar lifts which would only be $3-400 more than buying all the parts going the way I originally thought. Don't want to gain 2" with the lift. Am I correct in what I thought I saw about it only giving 1" more over a stock Rubicon?

This was mine with the full mopar lift kit and a 3/4 spacer up front. It still had over 1in rake in the rear with that setup. I ended up pulling the spacers from the front and changing the rear springs to rubicon springs and it set pretty level with that setup around 1/4 rake.

This is the mopar front springs with rubicon rear.

I think if you do some searching here on the forum you find what you are looking for. I remeber seeing 3-4" lift from the Mopar 2" lift and most end up with a rake to the front.

I have the Rubicon diesel. The 2" Mopar lift (it's a diesel-specific version) added 1 3/4 inches at the front and 2 inches at the rear over the way the truck sat when it was delivered to the dealer lot. I kept the rake, since it flattens out when the rear is loaded up.

I've been running this for 2 years, just more than 50K now, and I like it. I had 35s for the first 47K, and 37s since, and I haven't had any issues.

I can't remember how much lift I got out of mine. I had a document where I had taken before and after measurements, but I feel like it was 2" in front, and 2.25" in the rear? It's been too long.

Either way, it performed really well, despite being a little soft in the back with all of my gear. I also ran it with 37's on a 17x8 0 offset wheel and didn't have any rubbing issues.

Had the lift installed with about 500 miles on it. Put the 37's on around 20k, and ended with around 43k.

Edit: Found my original build thread, and I put the measurements in there.

Thanks. Maybe I'll add the Mopar to the front and keep the rear springs as is and just add a 1" spacer.

Sweet rig. What fenders and liners are those?

I have been wondering if anyone has used the AEV or dobinson springs with the MOPAR kit if needed for weights

@ShadowsPapa didnt I read somewhere you used dobinson springs??

Synergy springs under the front. I went with the 1" and wish now I had gone with the 2".

I had a 2inch Mopar lift with a terra flex spacer up front on 37s since delivery.
