At minimum you will want to add adjustable front track bar and a rear track bar relocation bracket. Most will suggest adjustable lower control arms as well to dial in your caster.

How do you intend on using your Jeep?

How would you like it to perform, both on and off road, compared to stock?

What kind of budget are you working with?

Increasing ride height with lift and taller tires, also increases the leverage forces between tire traction and the frame/body. The Mopar lift gives the height required to fit larger tires, but does absolutely nothing towards strengthening against those forces.

My knee-jerk reaction is to say screw the Mopar all together and look at Metalcloak's 2.5" True Dual Rate lift kit. Much better quality and it has all the immediately necessary parts to give a very solid foundation that can be built on in time.

Not really. If you haven’t purchased yet, you may want to seriously consider @Headbarcode suggestion above. Great kit with everything needed.

Does your shop offer MC? That is what was referenced above.

Metalcloak's 2.5" True Dual Rate lift kit

looks like it would be approx $1700 with their shocks.

But hey man. Not trying to sway you one way or the other. Just trying to provide alternative. If you look at cost of Mopar lift, plus adjustable TBs and LCAs you are prob pretty close to same as MC maybe more. Just throwing it out there.

I bought my Sport S used with Mopar lift already installed. I added front TB, adding spring correction pads and LCAs. The ride is pretty nice but if I was doing front start not sure I would have chose piecing it together. Just FYI

yes my shop recommended metalcloack 3.5 not 2.5... the metalcloack I found is without the shocks.. can you please send me a link on that ?? And do I need steering stabilizer still?? Or track bar will do it??

Remember most lift companies list there lift sizes based on Rubicons. You will most likely get more than 2.5. Prob close to 4”. Metalcloak is a member/sponsor on here. You should DM him and discuss what you are looking for. The shocks I was referencing is their long travel RockSports. Here is link from their site - you choose options to get shocks.

thank you for that very helpful input.. so should I go with metalcloack then instead of the mopar?? So I’m going to need trackbar, and lower control arms then?? Do you have a pic of your rig.. I’m all new to this modifications in jeep.. and my budget is 5k...the Jeep specialty shop charging me 6 hour labor 135/hour plus alignment the good thing about that shop they are specializing jeeps and the other one I found a shop he did a few jeeps before but I have to bring my own parts that’s why I’m asking what else I need and he is only charging me 340 to install everything. ( he did my buddies jeep) my budget 5k lift , tires and wheels tires are 1550 then wheels rocktrix 700 plus installation mount and dismount and balancing.. I just don’t want to to waste my 5k earned money

MC is great and all, but wouldn't it be better idea to slap on the Mopar lift, so the warranty doesn't get voided? In that case if you do end up breaking another part, that is covered. Just a thought.

OP, Mopar lift works fine for most folks(normal trails and street) and I like mine ,very good ride. Ebay has the crate for $1100 which leaves you money for a front adjustable TB, rear TB relocation bracket and adj, frt. LCA.
The problem I have with MC lifts is they flex to much which leads to driveshaft replacement(there recommendation) and aftermarket wheels that stick the tires past the fenders and screws up the scrub radius( bad for bearings and ball joints). Many folks get tire rub on the stock fender liners and remove them with the added expense of after market inner fender liners.
