Question on Mopar lift decision

[AdamG]

Is the lift for off-road performance, looks, or just to mitigate any clearance concerns/issues with the bigger tires? Answering this will help people make better recommendations. Only way to get a guaranteed height is a spacer, anything else the answer is “it could be between X & Y height.”

I had the mopar 2” lift, came in at 3.5” had 33” tires looked fine but was always planning to go to 35” which look just about right
There is a lot of negative on here but if you get out with an nice off road club you won’t get that just nice advice 33” tires are very capable with a lift, also our rubicon drove even better after the mopar lift

I have the Mopar lift with 37s. It did give me 3.5-4" originally, then settled a bit. My 37s rub the inner liners on the rear going over big bumps. I would say 33s are way too small and look pretty bad with that lift. I had my stock 33s on the day I did my lift and drove it to get the 37s mounted. I do have a Rubicon with high fenders. Like others have said, I would find a take off setup from a Rubicon. I have a set of fixed upper front control arms you could have, but I live in San Antonio. I think I still have the fixed lowers that came with the Mopar kit in the attic, I would have to look. I did just take a set of RC adjustables off the front lowers, but I wouldn't give those to my enemies.

The 33s will look decent and perform great with the Rubicon take off. I'm sure you can find a handful of pics on this forum of this setup. Good luck.

As far as I understand, yes. There may be a few other members on here with more expertise in this, but I believe any of the rubi takeoffs will work. Like other mentioned, I would look for a set of the longer lower front control arms, or adjustables for caster. You might as @GATORB8, @Roky, or @Headbarcode about the rubi takeoff before picking it up.

Currently stock 2020 Willy’s jlu. Switching out tires to KO2 285/70/17s with a possibility of needing new shocks.
Interested in adding a small lift at the same time. If I go with a mopar 2” is it gonna look funky? I’d be happy with maybe a little taller than a stock Rubi. I’ve read the 2” is actually more like 4?
I need to get it all done in once place so I’m considering the dealer here and combining some coupons and the buy 3 get one for $1 tire offer going on to offset some of the price gouging.

I would stay away from the dealer

I would stay away from the dealer. Go to a good Jeep or 4wd shop. Get some Rubi springs. Dealer not likely to do it without buying the parts there

I would also agree about staying away from the stealership.

Another option for you, is to join some local Jeep clubs on Facebook and post what you are looking for. Someone local to you may have takeoffs or spare parts to help out. You also get to meet new folks in your area with the same interests

Additionally, most Facebook groups are sponsored by local shops and give discounts to members.
Our local shops give some great discounts for members. I am having ball joints and alignment done and getting a discount of $109 (about 15%).

Hopefully that helps
