Is Mopar Lift Really 2 Inches? Feels Like More...

[ThirtyOne]

First of all, be glad for your friend. His Jeep looks great. It's not a F*cking competition.

Yes the Rubicon is higher than a Sport. But that is because of the springs. Lifts made for all trims basically are designed for the Rubicon. So with the new springs the Sport should be 2 inches taller than a Rubicon - not than a Sport! And remember Jeep uses different springs based on the vehicle options. Your friend had a Sport with a soft top. Those are the shortest springs they make. The lift kits err on the heavy side because they assume you have a Rubicon and you are going to weigh it down with steel bumpers, sliders, winch, etc. And weight is not just mods - the Rubicon weighs more than the Sport to start with. So it is springs and weight.

It should not be surprising at all.

Should I fix this? Longer bars?

I dunno that I'd worry about it. As it stuffs it'll swing back.

Honestly if you wound up less than 118" wb I'd be happy, improved breakover. If you ramp it and find that for some reason you have rear tire interference, then adjustable control arms are in your future.

Or if you just don't like the look right now, "it's only money honey."

Mopar 2" lift kit w/adjustables tack bars and 1.5 inch spacers.
4 Inches!!! and now the 35's looks small
I need something to move rear tires because with lift they move to the front.

***Everyone says was better before.

I got 3.75" out of the Mopar lift and was running 35's .It looked like my Jeep skipped leg day so I went to 37s...

Same here but I don’t want 37s yet lol
So I just hope to stay at 3 inch max when everything sits.

You have photos? It’s so weird because compared to stock 33s the 315/70 looks so, so much bigger and people told me they were true 35s now keep reading they’re 34 or less - how can less than an inch of tire be so much larger?

what Jeep did that black Jeep wheel come on ?

I added steel bumpers, rock rails, other things too so when I get the mopar lift hopefully I'm around 2.5 inches

Think that's why they make it lift around 3
