Ace Engineering says that on the road it’s fine but any flexing will rub.

Gotcha. So I’m best sticking with 18” Wheels with 33’s. Otherwise I will need a lift kit or wheels will rub on the tires will rub. Thanks for clarifying. I appreciate your feed back.

Well, waited all day, but just picked it up. I replace my stock wheels. These are 35 inch KO2’s. The lift definitely added 2”, not sure it it will settle a bit, but it did add 2”. The ride is improved imo, no roll, not harsh, really nice. I’ll measure when I get home, but I think I may get 37’s now!!

Minimal to zero

NOTE: I know its not to scale....just an observation

It looks great, but I have to admit I am a little disappointed, this minor difference does not justify $1500 (+ shipping and install assuming you do not do it yourself) for the MOPAR kit. Most of the height difference from the photo appears to just be largely from the tire difference. I plan on going 37s and sure they will fit with the 2" MOPAR, but once you start stuffing them off-road, it wont be enough unless you start chopping and adjusting some things IMO. Obviously the photo is not exactly even, so the very amateur measurements I did in paint are not to any exact scale....that minor difference just is not worth the $1500 to me. @Rock Krawler Suspension, "well.........we're waiting" lol cant wait to see what the aftermarket can do.

Much love for you guys at RK....just tell Bridgette to invoice me lol

Looks like 2" to me....2 inches is 2 inches, is everyone expecting to gain more than that?

Should be 3" if they went from 33 to 35 with the 2" lift, but yeah I think it looks about right. 35's actually seem to look kinda small with that lift kit, the pictures with 37's look perfect.

We need someone to put a 2 inch Mopar left on a jeep and measure it before and after with stock tires… Who can take it for the team?

I'll have measurements for everyone on monday, I'll measure before and after.

From the picture I am happy with 2", I am looking to stay as LCG as possible but not having any rubbing. Looks like that is what the 2" lift does exactly

You know, all this stress over how much 2" will really be is caused by one thing. Men have for so long been telling everyone that 4" is 8, that they've now even confused themselves.

How many hours did they charge you for labor??

Just did some measuring to find out the passenger side is more than 1/2 inch lower than drivers side! WTF! Anyone experience that before?

3/4 of an inch to be exact

 

[TTEChris]

Maybe to accommodate for driver weight. Sit in it, and have someone measure it. Curious to see how much it changes.

 

[mbuck45]

Same really, is that something typically done? It’s actually almost a full inch on the rear drivers side.
