Took a look at a 2020 Sport and have a question

[Reddout99]

I have my lifted Wrangler Sport up for sale and am in the market for a good used low-mile JT. I've driven 4; 3 Sports and 1 Willys. I ran across this one at a local dealership, 2020 Sport, Cold Weather Group with only 10k miles. It appears to be lifted because it had some stout looking Fox shocks and the sway bar end links were much longer than stock. The only thing I didn't care for is it was on 20s and 35" tires. I test drove it and it rode surprisingly well, better than my JKU.
For those of you that know, and can tell, does it look like a 2.5" lift?
Thanks

Looks like the Mopar kit

To me, definitely lifted.
I have a ‘20 Sport with standard suspension and Rubi tires/wheels. It’s not that high.

If I had to guess I'd say mopar 2" with an additional level spacer up front

Been doing a lot of reading on lifts and the Mopar lift is supposed to mate up really well with the JTs. Would save me some money with having to buy and have it installed myself. Actually, the 20s don't look as bad as imagined. My wife's 2015 WK2 is on 20s and it looks good. It would primarily be a daily driver for me.
Hope I can get my JKU sold fast.
Thanks again!

They wouldn't let you get closer?
It definitely looks like a 2-2.5" lift.

Since it's a 2020 it wouldn't be a bad idea to see if the steering gearbox got replaced from the original aluminum body to the steel one.
Steel will be black and magnetic. Aluminum will be neither.

That would be parallel to the ground at factory height.

Makes sense. Thanks

I actually test drove it at lunchtime. I just stepped back for the pics. The rear lower control arms looked the same as the Mopar kit. It rode surprisingly smooth on the road which I was somewhat surprised by because of the lift & 20s. My JKU doesn't ride this nice.
Thanks for the tip on the steering box.
Man, I don't want to get too excited

I wouldnt get to hung up on the aluminum vs steel steering box. Many with the Aluminum dont have issues. And this is a 2020 so if there were issues it would have been replaced.

Just got a text from the dealership. That one sold last night. On to the next.
