Mopar coil spring with Bilstein shocks

[the_cyclist]

Does any runs/wheeling the combo of 2 inches mopar lift coil spring with Bilstein 5100 (2-3") shocks? I'm curious to know if it rides well.

Me too actually. I've thought about piecing a kit together. Already have the longer Mopar LCAs sitting in my shop.

I’ve often wondered about this combo myself, and I’m close to trying it out. Hybrid setup with Mopar coils and LCA’s, Rk spring pads, 5100’s, adjustable track bars, and longer sway links. I’d like to have just a little more height on my XR now that the stock coils are compressed from winch and bumper weight. I need to do my homework and figure out the free and compressed lengths of the mopar coils.

Eibach sells springs and shocks. Their shocks are very similar to Bilstein. I have them on my F150 and they are an excellent product.

Here is what they offer for JLs

Would either one of those level out my Rubicon that I just put a bumper and winch on? It settled about 3/4”. Thanks

I have the mopar lift but the only things left from the lift are the coils and fox shocks. New control arms, sway bar links, track bars, tie rod, draglink, I should’ve pieced it together but I hear the mopar lift fox shocks are about the cost of the entire lift when purchased separately.

Bumping this one back from the dead, decided to test this out. Have Mopar lift springs, Mopar lift sway links, RK correction pads, 2-3” 5100s, and a Clayton front track bar on the way. Already running Mopar LCA’s on my XR. I’ll try to update in a few weeks how it rides and compare it to my full RK kit on my previous jlur. I’ll eventually wind up on full adjustable arms and Rk no limit links, but this will get me going for now.

Nice! Can't wait to know how it goes for you. I might also end up with the same track bar. I don't know if I will just go with Rancho that is easily available here in east Canada or try to find Clayton that is hard to find.

Sorry for the big letdown here, but I got an email saying the Mopar springs estimated ship date was May 1. My lack of patience won’t allow that, so I called and canceled. Rk isolators, bilsteins, and track bar are all here, so I think I’m going to go with the Rk 2.5 springs.

Don't worry, we probably have the same patience ?

How are the Bilsteins? I just installed some Mopar springs (had the 392 springs)... still running the 392 fox shocks for now, but they are limiting on the rebound side... So considering the Bilstein 5100 2-3".

392 Fox (2" body) - what I have:
F: 16.75" / 24.75"
R: 18.00" / 27.00"

Mopar 2" lift kit (2.5" body) - $246 each:
F: 17.50" / 26.25"
R: 19.25" / 28.50"

Fox 2.0" body - aftermarket - $180 each:
F: 16.75" / 26.25"
R: 18.50" / 29.50"

Bilstein 5100 - aftermarket - $110 each:
F: 17.07" / 26.88"
R: 18.33" / 29.38"

I would absolutely buy the bilsteins again! The 2.5 Rk and 2/3” bilsteins ride better than stock XR and flex like crazy. I had 3.5rk and 2-3” fox IFPs on my previous JLUR and I believe this bilstein setup rides and handles just as well. Seen too many IFPs lately that were leaking early on, so I decided not to run those this time.

Cool thanks man. I think I'll be trying the Bilsteins. Had them on an F150 a few years back, but that's a different vehicle than a JL that gets wheeled.

Just to add context, I’m running the RK 2.5” springs, Bilstein 5100’s (3-4.5” version), & Mopar LCA’s on my ‘22 XR. I am very pleased with the results, the ride is nice & planted yet flexes great off-road.
