Wow!
How did you get them?
The dealership said yesterday they are on a national back order.
I need the driver side one.

Thanks !

@JeepCares Is there a part number? Parts manager at my local dealership had no idea what I was talking about and wasnā€™t able to find anything. :(

Wooot! Five months later and the kit is in! Took about 3.5 hours to install on stand and a jack that was too short...that's the problem when you have always lowered your cars and made them faster versus raised them and made them slower!

Mopar pad worked as expected. Spring bow on both sides is minimal. The lift rides as good if not better than the stock Rubi suspension; really pleased with it!

I do have some axel shift in the front and rear. Not too bad but about 1/2" driver in the rear and 1/2 passenger in the front. Other wise post install was a slight adjustment to the steering wheel and the headlights. Nice of keep to put the headlight adjustment under the hood in stead of in the front like the JK.

Also got my Flashcal in today but I'll mess with that tomorrow.

What adjustment to your steering wheel did you have to make?

Just needed to re-center is. Just a simple loosening of a nut and turn the collar to get it straight. Nothing more than a 5 minute job.

So if you have the Mopar lift this part should fix the bow in the spring right

Mine looks the same way. After 1,200 miles of hard off roading the spring ground the bump stop to the point it is not hitting! Great job Mopar!
