Just installed the Mopar 2" myself, and got close to 3" of lift. If you don't mind me asking, what was the measurement you adjusted to that ended up centering the axle. I can mess with it to dial it in, but if you have a good starting point, it would be greatly appreciated.

Front track bar, try 34.25” it will get you close….

Thank you! I assume that measurement is from center to center of the bushings?

Yes sir…..if you don’t mind, report back how close and what you ended up with, for my own curiosity, thanks..

The relocation bracket is supposed to improve handling by bringing vehicle roll center up closer to the vehicle center of gravity. I’m a fan of AEV, they have a good document on lifts here:

Should be REQUIRED reading for anyone who is considering suspension mods on their Jeep. NOTE, while I am NOT a fan or a buyer of Lift Kits, there is an Exception and that is the AEV lift kits. The rest are at best a compromise and don't buy them albeit I will buy various components in integrate them with others.

What is the difference you say? AEV is founded by and staffed Automotive ENGINEERS, and most them if not all came out of Jeep Division. In fact the guy who designed the original Rubicon suspension is one of their engineers.

Saw your question to me late. I measured the inner edge of each rim to the center of the Jeep. I already marked center of the Jeep a year ago.

I am not sure if it is an insult or a compliment.

My buddy heads up the <redacted> environment at SpaceX. And so far, as Elon says, every failure has been a lesson, with no injuries or deaths.

I recently installed the RK bracket. There aren’t any instructions for it, but you can look up different RK lift kit instructions that include the bracket, and they walk you through it. This is the link I used.

Got it in yesterday, no issues, easy peasy. Too bad they couldn’t supply a bolt to reuse the factory flag nut.

Did you did anything to keep the e-brake cable’s foam outer sleeve from sitting against the bracket, or just say F it?
