Wondering how the Mopar Performance 2" Lift Kit 3.0L With Bilstein Shocks is a good option for a daily?

I Daily a 2020 Launch Edition Rubicon, so would prefer 2 inch lift for harder trails around me like rausch creek. I don't see too many reviews with the new shocks, but they look great and have reservoir shocks which is nice. I just want to do a 2 inch lift with 35s being a daily and all. Already have adjustable control arms and a fox steering stabilizer.

I have the Fox version. The biggest difference, especially since you mention daily driver, was the geometry brackets. I cannot tell you enough how big of difference they made to the bump compliance, dive during braking, and overall balance.

This is good to know, I was thinking about this, I did it on my JKU, but I kept on having tire issues, and then was getting ready to redo the 2.5 springs for something better, but then there was a trade, But with the metric tires and a good alignment it drove great,

My plan as well for the 23 Sport. I had the 2020 with the Mopar 2 " lift ( 35s, 4.10) . My question, did they change the coils too? From the old Mopar kit to the new one with the Bilsteins???

Is this the kit {77072468AF} that everyone is talking about? It's on the way. Should I add lower control arm relocation brackets to the kit? I just had 35x11.5 Toyo Open Country installed on my 2024 Rubicon X with a Warn Evo 10D winch. No rub on flat pavement, but me thinks it might rub at full tilt.

Did you need front and rear adjustable track bars as well?

No disrespect to those who love their Mopar 2" lifts, but after talking with the local dealer's service advisor and him not even knowing $#!@ about their product - even though he has a Gladiator with it installed - and it's shortcomings as compared to full featured lifts, I passed. Life is too short.

I'm daily driving my '21 JTS with the Mopar 2" lift with the Fox shocks. The ride is surprisingly smooth. Very happy with the setup. Keep in mind, there is some body shift anytime you lift, although it may be minimal. Even though the Mopar lift was advertised as 2" I swear I netted much more than that. I did get a Clayton rear adjustable track bar to fit a full size 37" tire under there. A few months ago I had an adjustable front trackbar installed and got everything aligned really well before taking a long road trip.

I did get a front adjustable track bar to recenter the axle. The rear wasn’t noticeable so left it as is.

I was able to fit a 37 ridge grappler spare with the stock rear track bar too.
