Best 1-1.5” Lift?

[Arterius2]

I haven’t heard of that option. I got creative and ordered all the Mopar kit pieces separately except the springs and shocks. Then, I ordered SkyJacker 1-1.5” dual rate springs and Fox 2.0 shocks. I haven’t installed them yet as I’m waiting on the shocks but I _think_ it’s going to work great. I’ll post my results when installed.

How much did it end up costing going that route?

How much did it end up costing going that route?

Mopar kit pieces from Mopar Wholesale Parts: $280
Skyjacker springs from Skyjacker.com: $330
Fox shocks and Rancho coil spring isolators from Amazon: $600
Total: $1,210

Here’s the Mopar parts list (I went with Rancho isolators as I heard negative reviews of the Mopars) Also, I plan to replace the Mopar LCAs later. $30 each was too cheap not to try them.

I’m looking at options for small lift as well for 35’s. If and until someone makes an actual 1 to 1.5” lift, one option is Teraflex. They make a 1.5” ST1 spacer lift with pucks, bump stops and optional shocks. They say this will lift rear 1” and front 2” for and average of 1.5”. The Dynatrac 2” with springs and shocks seems well liked and well reviewed, but to my eyes 35’s look at but undersized on that lift, but opinions may vary.

I was just going to post the exact same lift. I’m getting that on my JLUR with 35” tires.

Yep, I seriously considered that option but wanted springs over spacers and Fox over Falcon.

If you plan on getting aftermarket bumpers or a winch, the dynatrac ends up a little less than 2”s. I also added a 1/2” spacer in the front to compensate for the weight and there is still a slight rake. I believe once I get the rear bumper I am waiting on, the back will come down slightly as well. Good luck with your search.

I’m in the same boat with my 2 dr rubicon, I’m aware of the skyjacker lift, but, I’m waiting for other manufacturers to bring 1.5” springs to market. I think for suspension manufacturers there is a legitimate market need/want for quality 1.5” lift kits for rubicon owners wishing to stick to 35’s or possibly 37’s with flat fenders.

In the interim I have a teraflex st1 spacer kit and a set of Falcon 3.3 shocks I’ll be installing this weekend.

I have the layout JLR, did you need wheel spacers??

Did you ever get it set up and if so how is the ride and height?

Hey! I know this is many years later, but how did it come out?

 

[frogger2020]

On my JLUR with 35” tires, I installed the Skyjacker 1.5 springs, Falcon 3.3 shocks, and TeraFlex LCA’s. I also installed Steersmart components. It rides like stock and has a proportionate lift for the tires. I am pleased how it turned out.

Could you send additional pics and a list of the parts ordered?

I assume you were asking me, but I have the Skyjacker 1.5 lift kit, Falcon 3.3 shocks, Falcon Steering Stabilizer, TeraFlex LCA, Steersmart yeti front and rear track bar, drag link, tie rod. I also have the American Adventure Labs fender lights.

Frogger thanks for the pics and info. Jeep looks great!

Looks very nice! Might be an option for my jeep in the future if rubi xr springs are hard to source. What length falcons did you pair with the lift?

I got the ones made for the 0-1.5” lift. Not sure the exact length.
