Bow or No Bow with 2" Mopar Lift?

[DanW]

I think you're right that some bowing is normal, but I don't like how the drivers's side seems to show much more bowing than the passenger side in most of the posted pics.

I think I'm just going to wait for that Teraflex kit that has the 3-setting adjustable shocks anyhow.

Yeah, mine definitely has more on the driver's side. I can live with that, but it is just too close to the bump stop for comfort, as it sits now. If I can get it straightened even 1/4", I'll feel better about it.

From talking to Rock Krawler, their spring pad fix sounds like it will make a significant difference. I'd just like to have Mopar address it and save me the 30 bucks (plus shipping.)

I will also say this. I've looked at every JK I could find with a spring lift, and I see lots of them with bowing, especially the 3 inch and higher lifts. It doesn't look as bowed as mine, but the bowing IS common, and to some extent, I have become convinced some bowing IS normal. Too many JK's with various lifts have some bowing. Look around and see.

While I do not like the bowing either, I think it would be EXTREMELY risky for Jeep to make a false statement and say the bowing springs are normal, if in fact they are not. Lawsuits on lawsuits if that ever came to be.

Posting everywhere to keep everyone updated - Please know that we do not recommend modifying your JPP 2” Lift Kit with a non-Mopar aftermarket part. Doing this may void any warranty associated with your lift kit or vehicle.

Keep in mind that a slight bow is intentional. The spring was designed to improve performance and allow increased articulation. If your dealer has determined that your front spring(s) are exhibiting excessive bowing - a revised lower isolator, set to launch before the end of next week, should be installed.

Additional communication and a TSB will be sent out to your certified Jeep dealers to assist in this matter. If you find you need any assistance, please send us a private message or call the Mopar Accessories Assistance line at 1(888) 528- 4364, Option #4.

Thanks for the update, Julie! Please let me know when to expect my dealership to have the TSB. I'd like to get this bowing reduced.
