Dynatrac lift for Ecodiesel

[JSA]

After doing a good bit of research, I was excited to decide on the Dynatrac Endurosport 2" lift for my 2021 JLU Ecodiesel.

I wrote them directly asking about the actual lift height, and they wrote me back saying that the kit is not designed for the Ecodiesel, but provided no details as to why.

Does anyone know why this could be? Is the suspension different on the Ecodiesel? If not, is it due to the additional weight? And if so, would that make any real difference?

Thanks in advance.

The additional weight would definitely impact the lift if it were intended for 3.6s and 2.0s. Check out Clayton, Metalcloak, and AEV. Forums can skew results but I have read less bad things about those 3 lifts in regards to the diesel. Good luck

I imagine if you used springs intended for less weight you'd be running that much closer to your bump stops and who knows how the shocks would handle it.

Now that I think about it, there is somebody on here that was inadvertently shipped gas springs for their diesel. They were hitting their bump stops going over speed bumps. looking.... found it.

As others have mentioned it is all about weight and spring rate. The ecodiesel is something like 400 heavier in the front. The spring rate needed for that (linear rate) is probably 170 - 190 and even with that, longer than a gas spring to allow for a bit more compression. A spring with a rate of 125 - 140 is going to struggle to handle the weight, it will collapse further before holding the vehicle and the vehicle will want to compress it further and faster under dynamic load, putting greater stress on the shocks. RK and Clayton are both great options, MC makes great suspensions but I have yet to see them release their spring rates for the diesel.

Thanks for the feedback so far. It's disappointing that they didn't develop a kit for the diesel.

Mopar took the time to. They have a 2" lift kit for all models. Check out page 2 - https://s3.amazonaws.com/rp-part-images/assets/8af67e173f8bafa758149d4521487828.PDF

What did you end up going with?
I'm looking for suspension that provides a smooth ride on road and on washboard, so difficult to find real tests/reviews.

Mopar. It rides great.

That is what I went with. Pretty sure the lawyers are the only ones saying it's 2". I running 37" KO2's and have never rubbed anything.

I’m running 37” as well with no issues. I’m upgrading shocks next week to tuned Fox 2.5
