Mopar 2in lift kit

[Chrisbayridge1]

I recently installed a Barricade Extreme HD front bumper and Badlands Apex winch the front end sags a bit with the added weight. I am planning on installing the Mopar 2 inch lift kit for my 2dr Rubicon, and 35in tires and I'm wondering if I could compensate for the sag somehow either by adjusting the shocks or pair the kit with a leveling kit Anyone know what to do?

I installed the Mopar lift a few months back. I have factory steel bumpers, a Warn VR8, and 35s installed. I like the way it sits as is with no additional modifications.

Beautiful Jeep are those the stock rims which brand 35s were you able to get on them?

They are stock and I went with 315 70 17 BFG KO2.

wait.
there are many variations of "Mopar 2-inch lifts" and vehicles for which they are intended, and there's no telling for certain what rake angle you'll wind up with. i'd support the 'wait and see' approach.

FWIW, the "2-inch" lift on my Willys Diesel took the front up over 4" and the rear almost 3"; with the winch and bumper it sits just about like where i want it.

this is what it looked like on 35s.

Looks great ?

Moab makes every J**p look great. ?

here’s a better shot from the side; same suspension, though it’s now wearing 37s and Hi-line fenders w/ XR Spats.

Looks even better on 37s! Did you re-gear?

 

[zouch]

yes; 4.56s (and a bunch of other stuff).

Ice! I was thinking I might be able to get 37s with different rims but would need to re-gear... ?

Throw the lift in and then see. Most lifts compensate for the extra weight up front and the height loss is minimal. You may not even need it.

On my Rubicon with 150lbs out front I ended up adding a 1/2” spacer to level it back out.

On my Willys I have 105lbs out front and is perfect and rides better with the extra weight.

Mine sits great, Mopar Lift which actually measured out at 3.4" average measurement, drives great especially on KO2 35" tires, I have aluminum bumpers and winch and rear seat removed.
