Say wha?!? Can you please elaborate on the lift settlement details? It's only a 2" lift, right?I believe you’re right I just set an appt for tomorrow at the dealership... also have a couple of questions for them about my Mopar lift it’s seems to have settled over 1 1/2” over the weekend only have 2k miles since installed... not happy.
YES WHEN I FIRST PUT THE LIFT I ACTUALLY KNEW IT WOULD SETTLE, FROM THE REVIEWS I RESEARCHED BOTH ONLINE AND IN PERSON, THE MEAN LIFT AT INSTALLED WAS ABOUT 2.75". WITHIN ABOUT 2K MILE MOST OF THE PERSONS I SPOKE WITH AGREED THAT THE SPRINGS "SETTLED" 1/2-3/4 INCH. GIVEN MY INITIAL MEASUREMENTS AFTER MY LIFT THAT WOULD GIVE ME A MINIMUM OF 2.25" HOWEVER MY FRONT SPRINGS, SETTLED TO 1.5 INCHES. BRINGING MY LIFT TO A TOTAL OF 1.5 INCHES UP FRONT AND 2.75 IN THE REAR MY RAKE IS NOW UNACCEPTABLY EVIDENT. VERY DISAPPOINTED, I DO NOT KNOW IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE DEALER INSTALLED MY REAR SHOCKS UPSIDE DOWN. I DO KNOW I NOTICED THE DROP AFTER A BIT OF DEATH WOBBLE AT AROUND 40 MPH, WHICH WAS A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE IN WHICH I HAVE TRIED TO RECREATE TO NO AVAIL. SPOKE WITH THE DEALER, DROPPING THE GLADIATOR OFF TOMORROW MORNING FOR HIS INVESTIGATION.Say wha?!? Can you please elaborate on the lift settlement details? It's only a 2" lift, right?
I understand that but this is the first lift where I will need a spacer to accomplish the amount of lift the manufacturer is stating i will gain, completely unsat. For all th veterans out here please advise me if my experience is different from yours, but if a lift kit says 2" that has been the amount post settling. These numbers shouldn't be surmised they are determined after engineering, development and testing. a spacer is fine if you are going for a "look" I am going for what I paid for a Mopar PERFORMANCE part.A lot of people, including myself, put in a front coil spacer to help with this. Now I do not have 2k miles on mine yet, but I went with RC .75 spacer in the front and I have a difference of 1in between front and rear. Its perfect in my opinion. I can still tow or haul and it not look funny. I also have 37s.
I agree with your assessment. And I hope they get this squared away for you.I understand that but this is the first lift where I will need a spacer to accomplish the amount of lift the manufacturer is stating i will gain, completely unsat.

Understandable, may I ask what your fender measurement is from fender to ground in the front?I understand that but this is the first lift where I will need a spacer to accomplish the amount of lift the manufacturer is stating i will gain, completely unsat.
