I have to agree that they were a bear to install. The tolerances are so tight that getting the bolts through the bracket/spacers and frame parts was tough. First side took 2+ hours, lots of cussing and the second a bit over an hour and just a few less swear words.
I used OEM torque spec for...
I have the same shocks from the Mopar lift kit and I have one front leaking after 20,000 miles. My dealer is trying to get a warranty replacement for mine but they told me that there were not any in stock in the country as of 2 weeks ago. I have no idea when I will see that replacement. They...
Zip-ties for the win. I did that method too and they don't go anywhere now. One or two holes along the lower edge placed where you can get them around the top spring retainer, or other hole in the frame and you are good.
Finally had a chance to attempt some more controlled tests today after getting the ESS battery bypassed by isolating the Aux ground, fuse 42 pulled and a Start/Stop device installed. I also isolated my winch wiring with a 500amp relay run through the AUX buttons so that isn't hot all the way...
Here for reference is a Sport S with Mopar lift and 35's. As everyone says it is way more than the 2" they claim and probably closer to 3"+. The lift was dealer installed before I was even interested in it so I have no clue what the stock height was. Here are two photos, right when we...
Actually this is north of there at the Blackrock exit, just south of the state line and weigh station. A short 5 mile trail that isn't difficult. Cedar Pocket is on the short list too though.
Not too far from where you were @3TV

Photos above were from the left end of the orange liine, against the Wilderness boundary.
Made the 300 mile trip home today without any issues at all. Now to find a local spot to replicate this on and try to figure out what is actually going on while closer to home.
I haven't gotten to the aux battery and those terminals but definitely twisted the main terminal connections an they were all tight and used a wrench to tighten all visible terminals and grounds.
Lots of words, I know. Highlights are in bold for those that can't be bothered to read all the details.
2021 JLU Sport 2.0T Auto, purchased almost exactly 2 years ago, 22,000 miles without issue. Mopar lift installed by dealer since new, running 35's. We do a fair amount offroad including...
I also have a Sport but do a fair amount of off roading and like the Apex disconnects. I really didn't want to be laying in the dirt or mud to connect anything or ziptie something to the sway bar each time or make any permanent changes (drill holes) at that time. They have been on for almost...
I have the Mopar lift and added the Rockcrawler Track bar soon thereafter. No issues a year and half later. The difference is crazy when you hold both track bars next to each other. You will need a large crowsfoot to get the torque set on the jam nut. Can't recall the size off the top of my...
I have run them for the better part of two winters in Utah without any pitting or damage from road salt. I do try and wash the whole jeep a bit more in the winter to keep the salt off of everything underneath, not just the disconnects.
I have been happy with the setup after a year. I have only had to use the winch once to help someone else out while on the trail and everything worked well.
The only issue I had was with the SmittyBuilt solenoid relocation to the right (passenger side) of the winch. The screws have come...
You can't bag on Northridge, the clamp parts are pairs and come that way from Fox. Excrement happens and it's a bummer, especially on a long holiday weekend, but a call to Northridge on Tuesday will get it all sorted.
I would throw my hat in the ring for a trial run with one. Have 35's on the jeep and some higher pressure tires on a van as well. We have several trips scheduled for the remainder of the spring and early summer here in Utah to truly test it out fully. Currently using a Smittybuilt single...
Here is another option that while a bit more money, you don't have to lay in the dirt at all. I have these and imo they work great. I have a JLUS with the Mopar lift with 35s and Method wheels with 0 offset. No rubbing or issues and no cutting on the fender liner either...
