I've seen a few videos with the factory mopar 2" lift installed and 37" tires but no mention if there are any issues with rubbing. Just curious if anyone has done any testing yet. I'm considering this lift to maintain my warranty. If you go aftermarket lift does it void the entire warranty?

Rubbing at near full flex with 37” and I think warranty would be fine with 35” tires since they advertise such but 37” may have issues if the broken part is linked to the tires. Also I think even 35” tires are rubbing at full flex.
I plan on doing 37’s to but it’s going to take more than 2inch lift to do any flexing with out hitting fenders. Guessing 3” or 3.5”

I gained 3" from the mopar. I think with the highline fenders you could run 37s and maybe barely touch. Here is mine with 35s. Tons of room, we need someone on here to flex it with 37s. I think member mbuck has 2" with 37s...

Methinks it will settle a bit.
Most lifts dont "settle" much. Adding weight to it will probably change it, yes. My TJ lift didnt settle at all

Good afternoon, new to this forum, and new JL owner. Happy to be here. Have had a Jeep Wrangler JK for many years. A little of topic......I was told today by Quadratec, they’re no selling aftermarket wheels for the JL because the lug studs are too big for the current JK aftermarket wheels. I’ve seen many members with new wheels. How is this being accomplished? Thank you for any help

Maybe start a new thread for this one, might find answer easier or by searching. A lot of people have asked this already I believe

I just got my Mopar 2" installed today on my JLUR. Running 37X12.50/R17 Cooper SST PRO tires on the factory rims. I ended up adding on 1 3/4 inch spacers from Spidertrax and the Rough Country rear tire bracket. No clearance issues at full lock or anything. Actually not even close. It has been rainy like crazy but once that slows down I will try and get some pictures and a good flex shot to test how that works out. As far as gains, at the fenders it shows an increase of 4.5 inches.

300$ for lift and alignment work? thats not dealership cost ist it? I was quoted at 800?
It is, I looked up the kit by part number on the mopar site, it showed two hours for install. I got them to do 300 for that. They messed up taking forever, ie 2 days to install the lift, and comped the alignment.
