Rough cost estimate - Mopar 2" lift kit, installed?

[oceanblue2019]

Can anyone give advice what a good shop should charge for the Mopar 2" lift kit, installed, on a 2019 JL?

Thank you!

I'd also go with Rancho front and rear track bars which add another $400 or so. Should be able to get all the parts and work done for $2100 to $2200.

Congrats! Important to learn your Jeep. No better way than DIY.

It started with the winch that my little girl and I put on and seems to be spiraling. When I was younger, I had no fear on taking my cars, pickups and my YJ apart, but hadn’t done much in the last 20 years. But now I figure, worse case I can flatbed it to a shop to fix what I broke!

Totally agree though, I know so much more after several projects. Worse part, when I do need warranty work, it’s scary, I seemingly know more than the dealer…though they are nice folks.

I do have to say, I still think 2 door Wranglers are AWESOME!!! Yours looks very cool and I keep trying to get my wife into one so I can have the best of both worlds. Yeah, maybe a little regret not getting one like yours...

A good price would be based on man hours. I’d say 4-5 hours to install plus alignment. If you’re close to Kernersville, I’ll do the install and teach you for free. Then you can take it to get the alignment. Easy enough to do.

You are a good guy for this offer; thanks for being that way. In todays world not enough people helping one another.

He is, and while I've not met @chevymitchell , he's been a great help and those who have will tell you he's the tops...well, mostly...

I've read conflicting info on doing the mopar 2" lift yourself and it could void the warranty if there is an issue. But a dealer doing it won't? Anyone able to clarify that? Thanks

Incredibly nice... I do like working on cars and would love to take you up on it! Sadly, I'm a LONG way from NC. - 2700+ miles according to google. But will consider tackling some of my mods like this myself.

My dealer quoted me $1500 for the kit and $1600 in labor to install it. After some smelling salts revived me, I went home, bought it online for $1,100 and installed it myself in a few hours (like 4hrs on day one and 4 hrs on day two). Not the easiest job I have ever done, but not that hard. Plus it's satisfying to work on your Jeep yourself. I did make sure to go to a dealer after a couple hundred miles to have everything re-torqued to factory spec (because you need to do that with any suspension mods after 100 miles or so) and then I painted a little yellow stripe down the side of each thread/bolt/component so that I could really easy spot loose bolts on quick visual inspection.

My understanding is that if you install it, the parts are covered, not labor. For example if the spring isolators crushed, they would give you a new part, but not install it.

If a control arm bolts comes loose because it wasn’t properly tightened, and that led to further damage, I think it would be an uphill battle getting anything covered on a self install. Obviously if the dealer installed it it should be covered.

In the Phoenix area Tempe Chrysler Dodge Jeep charges $1495.00 for the kit and $400.00 for the install. So total here is $1895.00 out the door ( I assume this is before taxes )

Looks like it. Wow good price. Wonder if Mopar dealers will install it for you if you don't purchase from them?

If the tie rod isn’t messed with, toe should be fine. Wouldn’t change. Knowing the castor, without adjusting it if out? The point is they are taking your money and aligning nothing. Straighting the steering wheel takes an adjustable wrench and 5 minutes.

I just installed my kit last week. I got just under 3” of lift and that pushed my steering wheel off center to the left by ~20deg. But that is a super easy adjustment on a JL. It’s a simple clamp nut and hand adjustable collar on the drag link.

I had access to a friends alignment rack and there was no change to the alignment before / after. Alignment wasn’t perfect, but all within factor spec.
