Diesel Lift Kit?

[Flojo70]

Dynatrac is still working on finalizing the diesel kits, which is the reason for the long lead time on them. We do now have the AEV Diesel kits in stock though.

Northridge 4x4 came through. my list was either of these 2 kits and ordered dynatrac for the bag. Both kits being equal I am pleased Northridge is on the forums and PM’ed me options I switched to AEV and order is on its way. Thanks Northridge for customer service.

general lift height, or shock lengths?
for which model? (your sig shows a 392 on order).

i've mentioned it here before, but FWIW:
the Mopar Diesel Lift gave me 4.3" in the front, and 2.9" in the rear before i added a winch and steel front bumper.

have you checked with Fox to see what they say?

I'm just curious if anyone can share some before and after numbers with their lift heights. I have some fox shocks that want the shock travel to be in the middle and I'm worried a 2.5" lift is not going to put me in that zone.

what's your solution to carry that 37" spare?

I was surprised at how much lift it actually provided - it has a bit of a rake that I hope will settle out when the spare is put back on but we measured 78" to the top of the roof. This is a Sport S with 37's......

I've got the Metal Cloak carrier relocation bracket and a tailgate reinforcement kit from (I can't remember) - I'm not too concerned about it because those Cooper's only weigh 68lbs and the wheels are under 30lbs.

I could have worded that better. I was looking for general lift height out of the springs since I know how much I need to make the foxes work right. I actually ended up a with a diesel now and need to change that because my dealer had the order go into a perpetual hold and I didn't want to wait not knowing if it would show up or not.

I did email fox before even ordering them asking about using them on the diesel and got a pretty condescending reply that blah blah blah it only adds a little weight and won't make a difference in the valving. Which isn't exactly true but I figured id try them anyways

Just put on the evo diesel 2.5 springs, it actually lifted the jeep unlike the dynatrac lift for diesel.

Did you happen to do front and rear measurements before and after?

I only did it for the rear, forgot about it when I did the front

The rear gained around 2.25 inch, do keep in mind I had a half inch spacer for the rear on top of the dynatrac lift.

Didn't measure the front but visually looks higher. Front side had 1.5 inch spacers with the dynatrac lift, now its just the evo springs with no spacers.

Pic for comparison, both are 37s

Thank you. The rear is what I was most concerned with anyways.

Would you be able to take some measurements off the ground at your front and rear fenders? I’d like to see how they compare with my Clayton 2.5 diesel lift.

For sure, I'll do it once I get off work.

Here’s mine on Clayton 2.5 diesel aka 3.5 gas springs. 37” geolandar.

If you don't have the exact set up your heights will differ. Tires, weight of bumpers, Winch, etc all come into play.
