Im not 100%, I only reposted what Electrion posted on a FB group. Perhaps he can weigh in.

*edit--went out and looked at mine. Ive got the spring listed on this parts page. Except my front springs are backwards....
Dang. Does your bow follow the pattern they anticipate, in to out?

This happened to me on my Gladiator (and they forgot to tighten the rear trackbar bolt). The only reason I paid the dealership to install the kit is because they are the "professionals," and DIY disqualifies you from an extended service contract. I guarantee if I would have installed it myself, it would've been done right.

Haha. Im in the same boat. Im fairly capable as a mechanic, and could recruit my in-laws. But I dont have all of the necessary tools. Plus when I did my deal for the Jeep, we figured in the cost of the lift and the installation cost.

I do hear a little 'clunking' in the front end when I go over a speed bump--at slow speeds. It could be the lift settling, not sure.
...
I also had some "clunking" after I self-installed my lift. In my case, one of my rear, upper shock mounting bolts was not fully tightened. I suggest you bring your back to the dealership & have them check the torque.

I also re-torqued after about 500miles. I found a couple control arms had loosened slightly.

Makes sense. I will definitely do that. Thanks for the heads up!

I ordered my 4xe and lift at the same time in early May. Jeep arrived at the end of June. Lift kit arrived mid-July. From what Ive read, the wait for the lift was due to Mopar recalling the lift to put larger/stiffer springs in this kit specific to the 4xe. I had the 2" Mopar lift on my Sahara 4xe a few weeks ago. I got about 2.25" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. The front dropped 0.25" when I added a steel bumper and winch.
That's not my post, it was a share from somewhere in here. I have a Terraflex RT3 3.5" lift.
