So I realize those come from a different link than i have. I'd appreciate a link since I can't easily read those part numbers on my 13" screen. My fault, I know... indulge me. :LOL:

To bring this thread full circle, I just wanted to note that I finally had the Mopar 2 inch lift installed earlier this month. I really appreciate this forum and hearing all the feedback from those who run some miles with it. My initial review after 1,000 miles is that I freaking love it. I also upgraded to the FOX 2.0 steering stabilizer, but did not add a track bar (front axle shifted 1/2 inch to the drivers side). The new ride is easily as good as or better than stock and tracks straight down the road with no pull and no bump steer. The new FOX shocks and larger springs have upped it's game off road. I got to break it in on Black Gap Trail in Big Bend Natl Park last weekend, and it performed flawlessly. Handled the bumps and washboard roads with no problems and ate up the trails (rated easy to moderate) with extra confidence. Really appreciated having the extra couple inches of articulation that a spacer lift would have lacked. I don't plan on doing any hardcore rock climbing anytime soon, so I feel like this lift is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again!

Thanks for the detailed info @Yogi . After untold hours of reading and researching I finally committed to it through BAM. Should be here in a few weeks and I'll have the dealer install. I really appreciate how people on this thread have offered their personal experiences and some of the specific issues encountered - and - how to address them should they arise. Going into any situation armed with information is far better than having no idea what you're doing or talking about. So thanks again.
Nice I bought it from the same place, how much are you paying for the install? I called all my local dealers and cheapest I can find it is supposedly $620 for the labor to install. My apt is on the 17th

I upgraded to a 2.0 Fox stabilizer to help keep those big, heavy 35-inch tires under control.

About the same, and they're hitting me for alignment and computer calibration on top because I didn't buy the kit from them. Still came out ahead.

I think that's a good call and planning to do the same. The Service Advisor at the dealer went so far as to tell me that most cases of death wobble he has seen has been caused by a dead steering stabilizer... that it should be changed out ever year or so. Depending on your mileage this may seem like overkill - or - a good idea.

My Jeep developed bump-steer with the lift and the 35s. Swapping the wimpy OE stabilizer with a Fox 2.0 eliminated most of it.

I believe it. It's one component that seems logically linked to so much - and it's also relatively inexpensive and easy to address. I'll have one ready when I take mine in for the install.

I've had this lift for over 3 years now and the only problem I've had was a leaky front shock that I managed to get replaced under warranty. Since I bought and installed his lift after it came out, it was one of the early versions that had the faulty spring isolators, but that was easy enough to replace once the revisions were released.

The lift has served its purpose well. I don't do extreme wheeling, but I definitely put my Jeep through its paces and I haven't encountered an obstacle or trail that made me wish I had something different. I've since replaced trackbars, drag links, tie rods and what not, but I think the only major limitation for the kind of trails I do would be the shock extension length vs. what you'd normally get from any other lift kit or aftermarket shock.

That being said, I'm not sure how much longer these shocks will last, but so far they're holding up great.

35x12.5 on 17 inch rims. I decided to upgrade the Steering stabilizer, as others have recommended, to help absorb the extra load from the recently installed larger, heavier tires. It's a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade and since I was changing the front end geometry, I felt this was a worthwhile preventative measure to help avoid any future bump steer issues.

Do you happen to have the part # for the 2.0 Fox stabilizer? How much did you pay and from where?

I'll buy one and have it installed when they do my lift.

Thank you again
