Looks like there are 2 different 2" lifts from mopar. One with control arms and no drive shaft and one with a drive shaft and no control arms. why? Which one would you get?

I'm just looking at the pictures and not reading the details, but one is a JL Lift Kit and the other a JK.

Interesting that the JL kit doesn't address the track bar at all.

I believe the track bar is mounted differently on the jl vs the jk. Maybe that's why it isn't addressed in the jl kit?

A good portion of JK 2” lifts do not address track bar location, the geometry is just close enough you normally can get away with stock, same with control arms which makes the JL MOPAR lift interesting since it does come with front control arms for angle correction.

A 2" lift won't affect driveshaft angle that much. I'm pretty sure that unless you go over 4" you won't need new driveshafts. The JL was supposed to be better than the JK in the redesign.

We are seeing that at 3.5in the front shaft for sure will need to be changed unless you limit droop....but who wants to do that lol
