Mopar lift spring correction

[CincyJLRubi]

So I ended up getting a Mopar lift. For $1200 new and no shipping I thought it was a good option for now.
I’ve read plenty about it’s shortcomings for hard core rock crawling. Since my use will be mild overlanding it should be fine. If I have to add track bars etc later that’s fine.

But one thing I’d like to do now is make sure install the best spring correction mounts. What should I go with?
Lots of info out there but the kit I’m getting is the newest version so there have been some changes.

Its what I installed on mine, out of the box without any correction. If you do add a steering stabilizer to match just make sure you get the older bolt if your is a newer 21 model.

You shouldn’t need to correct for spring bowing on the new versions of the Mopar lift any more.

Mopar redesigned the spring mounts a few months after its release, after it got complaints that the front springs were bowing under load.

I got the Mopar lift installed a year ago: haven’t had to add any correction mounts.

“Correction brackets” is a different story altogether. Many people install “correction brackets” to the front to retain the geometry of the suspension.

Good luck.

Great to hear. I’ve seen previous posts recommending metal cloaks or others. I assume you all aren’t seeing a need for adjustable track bar either?

Yes. I replaced the OE track bar with an adjustable Yeti track bar. The Jeep came back from the dealer with both front wheels 1.5 inches towards the driver side.

Replacing the track bar is mostly cosmetic, but I had it done when the Jeep went for an alignment.

BTW, the Mopar lift includes longer control arms. This is done so that there's no need for correction brackets. But a lot of people still go ahead and add them.

I haven’t added correction brackets to my Sahara. They are supposed to correct the geometry for wonderful ride and handling, but they protrude underneath, reducing ground clearance.

I did replace the OE damper with a Fox 2.0 stabilizer to reduce bump-steer —i.e., keep the large, heavy 35s from pulling the steering wheel side-side under heavy braking. And, my Sahara being a 2018, had the steering box TSB done. It now drives as well as can be expected for a Jeep on 35s.

I plan on doing the track bar when I have the funding to change to larger tires and wheels. It does look weird on the stock wheels and tires but it was a choice I made. Right now everything works perfectly and I think it rides better than the original stock setup.

Was curious with all the same questions.

I bought the new mopar 2" lift to be put on a 21' JLU 2.0
I also got the fox steering stabilizer
So what is the bolt I need to get for the steering stabilizer?

And with this set up, should everything be aligned, straight, not off center, etc?

Not sure on the bolt as I didn't do the stabalizer.

After my lift was installed the front axle was shifted about an inch and half to the drivers side. I knew that was going to happen so I got a Yeti adjustable track bar and re-centered it no problem. I also then took it to an alignment shop to check everything. My toe needed a slight adjustment from the way it came from the factory since that isn't affected with the lift.

They also measured my caster at 5.3 so adjustable lower control arms may go on but it drives like stock except for a little wandering with uneven roads.

Thank you for this!
