What is the true lift on the Mopar kit?

[KDR83]

Just wondering, on a Rubicon, what is the true lift with the Mopar kit? I know on JLs the Mopar lift actually raises the Wrangler 3 to 3.5 inches, is that the same on the JT or is it closer to the true 2 inches that is specified?

It's close to 2.5". When I put mine on along with 37" tires, I gained 4.5" of lift measured at the center of the fenders and at the pillar between the front and rear doors.

Cool thank you

Is that measured including the 3/4" spacer you put on the fronts coils? (saw you commented that in another thread.)

Yes. It includes that measurement.

So without the spacer the lift is less than 2 inches in the front but 2.5 in the rear?

Not exactly sure. I installed the spacer in the front at the same time I installed the Mopar lift because I knew I was adding a heavy bumper and winch. But I can tell you that even with the spacer, I still have some rake.

Yeah, I got 2.5" as well, and with 35s gained about 3.2"

It also depends heavily on how much weight you carry and if it is always loaded or only loaded during trips. That is a big variable that can cause a 2“ difference in some cases. The MOPAR springs are the same rate as the rubicon factory springs as far as I am aware and are just a little longer.
