I m planning on doing the Mopar lift on my Rubi and going to 35” tires. What other components should I get with that lift. I plan to get an adjustable front track bar, but what about the rear? I hear people talking about the front, but not so much about the rear. Would I need a rear bar? Should I get the same brand as the front? What about the steering stabilizer? Is it necessary? How would I know if I need it? The truck is a daily driver, but I like the capability of moderate off road. I wheel it in Colorado and Moab, but don’t take it on difficult trails, if this helps. Thanks for your input.

Hey Mark, thought I could help out on this. Look to something like our Ride Right kit as a solid blueprint for the most essential components when lifting your vehicle! Basically our Ride Right kit was designed to be a more complete version of other entry-level kits on the market, but it can definitely be used as a checklist to make sure you're getting everything you need to keep your vehicle driving correctly.

We feel the most crucial components when lifting a vehicle are front and rear adjustable track bars to re-center both of your axles, front upper adjustable control arms to correct your caster angle, sway bar end links since the factory links become too short, and of course coil springs.

Steering stabilizers are not a must, but they do help a good bit to firm up the steering and remove some of the road-feel if that's something you're looking to do! Falcon and Fox both make excellent ATS (adjustable through-shaft) steering stabilizers, which basically correct any pulling issues the factory steering stabilizer and other non-through-shaft stabilizers cause.

If you have any questions at all feel free to reach out!

Dude. I wheel in Colorado a lot. The adjustable control arms and track bar on the Clayton 2.5 Overland plus are great. It was what pushed me away from the Mopar kit.

You'll want to get a panhard bar correction bracket for the back. You want the rear panhard bar as close to parallel as possible at ride height. The front panhard has to match the angle of the steering link.

I love a company that has enough confidence in their product that they don't try to shove their products down your throat.

Buy ours or don't. But feel free to use ours as a checklist.

Very cool!! ??

Thanks James. Your kit looks good. Do you have anyone in Albuquerque that installs it?

Enter your zip code into this dealer locator, if nobody pops up in your area, any reputable off-road shop shouldn't have an issue with this kit!

I considered the Mopar 2" kit.

Ended up going with the Clayton 2.5" Ride Right. I think it's the best buy for the price and what you get. Clayton makes really nice stuff.

Are your ride right kits and overland kits compatible with the Mojave? Anyone can chime in if they know.

Shocks have to be changed also or not with this kit ?
