At this point it seems questionable as to whether or not this badge belongs on my Jeep:
I have a 2021 JLUR Ecodiesel. I wanted a functional lift for better breakover angle and to fit 35s. I have had many many problems with my previous JL and wanted to add a lift without any warranty compromises. After terrible experiences at one dealer, I found a great dealer that Iāve been working with for a while now. I had them install the Mopar Lift Kit. They installed it properly. I know because Iāve done one myself on my previous JL and verified the install (spring seat in perch, rubber nubs at the top, spring part numbers at each wheel, etc.).
The first issue was misshapen passenger and driver springs in the front:
The passenger spring rubbed the frame when the tire was raised on a small ramp:
After confirming a proper install, Mopar advised the dealer to replace both springs. The new passenger spring is better:
But, itās still close to rubbing with climbing a small rock:
The driver spring is the same as the original, S-shaped.
Now Mopar says order another driver spring.
Ok, so Iāve asked the dealer to test at full articulation as well. Iām worried about that passenger spring when it compresses. Iām also worried that the third driver spring will be the same as the other two.
Is there a path to a working lifted suspension that doesnāt use third party parts?
Is there anyone out there with a working Mopar Lift (diesel or not) that doesnāt have S-shaped springs that hit the frame?
Has anyone tested this lift at full articulation? Do you have photos of what these springs are supposed to look like??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
