Mopar LCA swap

[Keycub]

Curious as to people's opinion. Have a 2020 JL Sport S. Considering a Rubicon suspension with TF .5" spacers and the longer Mopar LCAs. What kind of lift should I expect? Considering 35s and wondering if it's enough. Probably used 90% as daily driver.

Should give you 1.5- 2 inches

Springs on the Rubicon suspension are 61,62 and 91,92. Highest combination I could find.

I might be crazy but the site says the longer arms won't fit my 2020 JL? Any idea why? Is it because it's designed for lift kits?

That website is not updated for the 2020 JL yet. The LCAs will fit your 2020.

I'd bet the site just hasn't been updated for 2020 - I know of no differences. But, might not hurt to hear from someone with a 2020 to confirm

They fit. Put my rubicon at 6.3 caster

Should give you 2" easy.
I put on 60/61 + 91/92 with a 3/4" spacer. Got 2-1/2" up front and 2-1/4" in back.

Just added these to a 20 JLUR today, stock height and 35’s on stock wheels. It drove fairly well prior but I would still say not as good as my Lj did. For the record I had a ton of time into the suspension and shock valving of the Lj and it didn’t “drive like a Jeep” I would say the longer arms have this one driving 95% as good as the Lj. Fairly happy with my $60 investment in these.

I have a Rubi suspension on the way to me, and I want to order the LCAs. Are they the same part right and left? They don't look symmetric, but the site says two needed per vehicle. P/N 68322798AA. Does that seem right?

Edited to clarify: the Mopar lift LCAs.

They’re left and right and sold in pairs.

They’re left and right and sold in pairs.

Every site I am finding shows only one and says "two required, sold individually." Anyone know if there is a different part number for the other side then?

I'd love a recommendation on best place to purchase, too.

You need two, but they are the exact same part# for both sides.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

I just installed these, ordered from AllMoparParts, after adding a 2” spacer lift last week.

• It took about 1.5 hours
• I did it with my Jeep on the ground, no ramps
• No power tools, 1/2” ratchet and pipe for leverage
• 15mm, 21mm & 24mm tool were all that were needed
• 190 ft lb is tight, so very tight, to undo
• You need to undo the bolts, not the nuts, they grip (ask how I figured this out!)
• My torque wrench topped out at 150lbs., then I gave it a little bit more, about what I felt it took to undo

I took it out for a quick test drive, and first impressions are favorable, it definitely feels better!

Glad it worked out well, FWIW the SAE sized sockets fit tight, the 13/16" & 15/16 are a better choice as there's been cases (especially w/ the 21mm) of rounded heads. Jeeps are a mixed bag when it comes to fasteners, I always bring both SAE & Metric sets to all my Jeep projects as it's hard to get good fit on just one set or the other This also applies to the oil drain plug and oil filter cover, SAE sizes have no slop but the metrics do
