JL diesel lift kit?

[kosinar]

I spoke with Accutune and Evo Manufacturing yesterday morning and was informed that both companies will in fact have a diesel specific spring rate and was told they will be available "within a month" by both companies.

Hopefully this helps those of us who are on the fence.

This is another Jeep screwup beside 3.0L Diesel production start up fiasco. Mopar had Diesel wrangler available for testing before everybody else to develop lift kit for it and they still don't have it ready. They will loose potential monopoly for lift kits until every other manufacturer will have their ready for sale. Sheer incompetence.

Absolute incompetence, but after the 3.0 botched roll out, I can't say that I'm remotely surprised. That said, I will be happy to spend more money on a better overall "kit" with either of the manufacturers named.

Is anyone on this forum in SoCal wanting a free lift kit? FabTech needs a diesel to put their high end kit on it. Please PM me if interested. This will be free and must be a diesel.

Yea at a minimum they could have supplied the springs for folks who wanted better shocks and geometry correction components. Now they’ll squander their market position.

Diesel springs and shocks part numbers are already listed on Mopar lift kit installation diagram.

So...is there an actual Mopar lift kit that includes the stiffer springs? I've seen quite few instances where members have supplemented non-Mopar kits with spacers. Does any supplier actually make a Diesel specific kit? I thought by ordering a 2021 I'd bypass the time-to-market delays by equipment manufacturers, but It looks like the aftermarket is still lagging.

AEV, where are you?

evo manufacturing has a kit that’s already hit the market

They’re going to be last to market with any diesel equipment just like the rest of their equipment.

I ended up going with the Metalcloak Lift kit for mine, I spoke with a few shops that put them on and said that the lift was true to form so I just went with it. Still in the process of finishing up, I ran into a few hiccups but it’s coming along

I Just purchased the 3.5 rubicon express lift for mine, i pick it up today will post pics later

The builders and I couldn’t find what we were looking for, so we are using components from 8+/- companies and building some custom components to accomplish our end goal. When it’s done, I think it will be a rather unique and functional build. Hopefully before Christmas I’ll have a finished product to show.

I’m doing coilovers on my diesel and when taking to the guys at Rebel Offroad, we realized the diesel is basically the same weight as a hemi or LS converted Jeep so they gave me the springs they use for the conversions. Arms are 3.5” MC game changer with King coilovers up front with King shocks and spring in back. Now if my darn Jeep would ever get here....

How did you lift come out? Im thinking of doing the Long arm on my JL diesel but is it worth it?

How did Rebel offload do ? would you recommend them

You may have read (latest issue of C&D) that Jeep increased shock/spring stiffness by 10% to offset the extra heft of the diesel configuration. Do you think that they'll be enough volume to justify a diesel-specific lift in the marketplace? This Jeep is a porker and I'd hate to be undersprung.

and Now Dynatrac has a 3.0D specific kit.
