4.16.2018 JLUR 2” Mopar lift

Is it just me, or does that look it's wearing lipstick?

In all seriousness though, does anyone have pre and post 2" MOPAR lift increase figures because to my eye it doesn't look like it lifts it all that much from stock. Not criticizing, in fact I am considering installing the same lift, it is just an observation.

Anyone care to post photo of their JL with a lift and 35s? Would be nice to have a gallery of 35s since there seems to be a lot already on 37s.

Here's mine as well as a few of Jeep's Press vehicle.

Hi. I noriced that you retained your factory rims with the 35s. What tires and lift kit did you get? I’m planning to replace my tires with 35s. And would the spare 35 fit in the back? I also have the Rubicon. Thank you.

I don't have figures but I can tell you it is at least 2 inches, but feels more like 3.

The ride quality of my JL Rubicon is really good, so I’m concerned about doing the 2” Mopar lift and then finding out the ride isn’t as good anymore. Can anyone with a 2” Mopar lift comment on their experiences? For those that comment, is your lift the early version or the updated one?

Mopar lift, 315/70 C rated bfg ko2 tires. The spare fits but words cannot emphasize how close it is to the steel bumper.

Its a 2" lift that's closer to 3". It's not going to ride as good as stock. Certainly not as cushy as stock, but again, it's a lift.

I don't know...I feel like the lift with C rated KO2's rides at least as cushy as stock, maybe moreso. Probably not, though, if you had D or E rated tires.

Really? I feel more rebound and all the bumps in the road more with my lift. I'm on C rated tires.
