I know this is an old thread, but this isn't fixed yet for people just now purchasing the kits? I'm looking to swap out my mopar lift for the 3.5" gamechanger.

We have addressed it in the kits. Which is why I had asked them to reach out.

I used the coil correction pads and did not have any problem with the springs bowing. In addition, I added a few coil spacers to the rear passenger side and that fixed the slight lean. I would measure all four corners prior to installation and see how the lean is before you install the new lift. If it is off a bit, going higher just exaggerates it.

Now if MC would just address the skid plate for the eTorque that hits my driveshaft, that would be great...

Thank you!
Dumb question, but is the only difference between the 2.5" and 3.5" the length of the coils?
The installed height of the coils. ;)

Ok so no reason to go 2.5" then :)

Last question I swear! If I want to paint the belly skid and the gold zinc parts to match my Mojito, is there any prep work necessary? Or can I just spray them?
You can wipe and spray them. The zinc makes a great primer.

The gold looks good under the Mojito too.

Interesting way you answered, is that because the 2.5” and the 3.5” coils are essentially the same length and that’s how you’re able to run the same rocksport shocks with both kits ? If so , is the 1” difference in height provided by different spring rate ? Thanks.

Yeah, the design of the True Dual rate coils allow us to change ride height while retaining about the same free length with minimal active rate change.

Is it true that you are going to have a set of 4.5" coils for the JL? If so, how soon? I could use more free length with the 6-packs. Thanks!

We are working on 4.5" kits but the 6paks should not be unseating the 2.5 or 3.5" coils.

Come on Mike. You know it is really about going larger than 38s. Haha
