4xe Lift Kit?

[GATORB8]

What is the longest shock you guys have used without driveshaft issues at full droop with the stock DS?

Anyone using the Fox 3.5-4” lift with mid 28s extended front shock length?

Update to this story. I don't know if the community here has been circulating any fixes for this so I'm sharing my findings. The good news is that there is a relatively quick fix for the 'warped coil' issues. The bad news is that I'm also one of the ones that's barely getting 1" out of this lift versus the advertised 2", so I'll be calling and complaining about that.

So I finally got my Jeep back from the dealership after over a week. The replacement front left coil that they ordered did NOT solve the problem, turns out the issue is the coil isolator. Kinda funny, there's actually a technical service bulletin regarding this issue from a few years ago (02-006-18 REV. A) and the fix still applies in this case for the 4XE. Before you schedule your install, do yourself a favor and order that part or the alternatives like Rock Krawler or Daystar beforehand and have the dealer install it if there's issues with warping. I find it very odd that they only had to replace the front left coil isolator, but it does drive and sound just fine. I'm also one of the unlucky few who've gotten way less than advertised in terms of the actual lifted height. Barely an inch in my case.. totally unacceptable.

I thought it might be a good idea to start making a list of all the people who are having issues so we can present it to MPP and hopefully get them working on a resolution sooner than later, and one that doesn't require us to pay anything more out of pocket as this seems to be a widespread issue.

Fill this out if you experienced issues with warped coils or if you received less than 2" of lift. Keep in mind this is specifically for 2021 Rubicon 4XE's:

Where are we with folks filling out the form getting less than 2”? Mopar just told me they aren’t hearing from people ?‍

What are people doing about lifts? I have a Sahara 4xe coming in about 4 weeks fingers crossed it's in the build stage now. I know Metalcloak is working on 4Xe lifts but it will still be some time. I've seen a Rubicon 4Xe that they used a Metalcloak 2.5 true dual and it worked out fine. I was told not to do a spacer lift and to either wait or go with the Metalcloak 2.5 true dual.

Any thoughts?

Rock Krawler said they have theirs in the product thead, not on the site yet last time I checked, so you’d have to call.

I did a spacer lift for the time being.

Just confirmed rock krawler hasn’t, just specify 4xe coils

? That would be the only difference.

Apparently. Did anyone else sign the form? Mopar kicked me to customer care who told me to call mopar. Ridiculous

Oh, guessing you mean “has it” not hasn’t.

Sorry! Yup

Just signed. Has this doc been distributed among the various FB groups as well?

Can we get a copy of those that have signed as clearly Jeep isn’t taking this seriously

Bilstein 3-4.5” lift 5100s work with the stock driveshaft, just barely. Did have to remove the brake line brackets from the LCAs.

Question on the Mopar lift. As one with less than expected height, other than Jeep coming out and fixing it for us, would anyone recommend any spacers to add so I can get a couple more inches of clearance? Rather not take the Mopar lift off for a new one due to cost so was hoping there's a spacer that I can add on top of the Mopar lift for more height?

I got the Teraflex ones, they have a couple different sizes available. I liked that they use the factory indexing in the front to maintain the correct isolator orientation.

So you installed them on top of the Mopar lift? Did the ride quality change?
