Mopar 2" Lift Question--How Is It?

[Mattyp1214]

Got my lift installed today, I will post pics tomorrow. I will say that it gained quite a bit, like 3” but I’ll do some measurements tomorrow in daylight as well. Possibly will settle in? Seems massive now lol. I could easily put 37s on.
As far as ride with 35x12.5x17 ridge grapplers it is pretty bumpy. Tomorrow I will chalk the tires because 35psi cold I think is making it very “bouncy”. By very bouncy I mean more than stock.
The Fox shocks feel great and despite bouncy feel from tires they feel very smooth and softer than stock. Almost like a floating feel down the road.
Tires are louder above 60 than the stock ko2s. But are wider and bigger so not too surprised there. “Walk” a little but nothing crazy.
Feels like steering stabilizer will need to be upgraded at some point maybe with a fox as well? At 70mph on highway it hit a bump and felt a little unstable.
Acceleration and stopping don’t seem affected much at all. Maybe a little off the line but feels better still than the stock jk rubi I almost bought six months ago

Good intel. Thanks for sharing. Let us know if it settles down to closer to 2”. They look high when they first get installed but seem to drop a little (this is only based on the pictures I’ve seen).

Mopar 2" It gained 3" in front. 1" spacer might be enough for those looking to clear 35s. Aired down to 30psi after chalk test. Think I can still go to 28-29 the edges are still not coming clean on chalk test but it is setting of TPMS sensors. Need procal. Rides better now though after airing down. Not as smooth riding as stock but when going slow down dirt roads man it rides so smooth!

Looks great!!!!
I'm also waiting on procal, running 32 now to keep the TPMS light off.
My chalk test showed 29 to be perfect for the 35 duratracs.

@Mattyp1214 That looks GREAT! My lift is on, but the tech who was to do the alignment went home sick. It is ok, though. They gave me a 2017 JKU with a 4" lift and 35's to drive around until it is finished tomorrow. I'll post pics when I get it.

What PSI sets off the TPM alarm?

It seems that anything less than 31 will set it off.

I wonder if the dealer flash that corrects the speedo can adjust the TPM. I'd like to move it to 25lbs.

Dealer said they couldn't flash mine yet. Maybe he didn't know what he was talking about. I'll wait for procal anyway so I can modify what I want. Should be able to set the sensor to lower, I am thinking 25 too. I am just dealing with it for now, not too annoying.

Let us know the difference between the JK and JL for sure!

I called AEV and they said it would be awhile before a ProCal comes out. They said they'd do it, but it will be at least six months. Dang it.

Anyone take a measurement from ground to high point of roof for me after the 35 and 2 inch? I need to make sure it will still fit nicely in my tiny garage

 

[jericbarg]

74 inches

Thanks

Are Those are stock wheels? Any spacers? Do you need the low pressure due to width of rims?

Here are a few pics with the 35s....

It appears to be stock wheels did you install spacers? How much wider are the tires than stock KO2. Looks Great.

No spacers needed. Low pressure because high pressure will A) make tires wear very un-even B) better ride quality.
Will 2” lift and stock wheels this thing wouldn’t rub if they were 80 psi and fully flexed. No spacers
