Suspension question

[Flip]

2023 2 door, Sport, 6cylinder. I currently have Rubi take off springs & shocks, a Teraflex 1/2" spacer, Mopar extended LCA's. This gave me 1.5" of lift. Everything works perfectly, no complaints.

Question: If I add an additional 1/2" coil spacer giving me a total of 2" of lift. Will I need to make any other changes? E.g. Front & rear track bars, More castor = Front Adjustable LCA's ?

Time will tell.

The Mopar extended LCA's were designed for 2" of lift so I would think that you would be ok with them. If you are running the stock front track bar my guess is that 2" of lift will shift your axle about 1/2" off-center. Up to you if that bothers you enough to invest in a new track bar(s).

I’m pretty sure you’ll be fine, the axle shifts a 1/2” at 2-1/2” of lift, so you’d only be moving it a 1/4” to center it….if you feel it wanders a bit more you can get adjustable lcas to fix it, but again, I don’t think it will be noticeable….

An 1/8" wouldn't bother me, 1/2" seems like a lot. Yes, I think it's fair to say that would bother me. I'm glad you pointed that out.

Thank you.

My LCA's are extended Mopar fixed. If I need more castor then I would need Adjustable LCA's. I'm glad you pointed this out.

Thank you.

Now I'm thinking another 1/2" might not be worth it. It would only be for aesthetics.

Technically 1/2" will probably be ok. Every Mopar lift Jeep out there has the axle offset. Another benefit if you do decide to go with an aftermarket adjustable track bar however is that they are typically more rigid than the factory one which will add a slight improvement to your steering.

Do they install in the same locations as the factory track bar?

Yes. just a lot more beef in between.

Yes. just a lot more beef in between.

I would need front & rear adjustable track bars, correct?

It’s Friday . . . . talk like that makes me hungry ?

For the rear you can get away with just a track bar bracket.

JKS makes fixed LCAs for lifted Jeeps. You don't have to get adjustables.

My Jeep 2023 sport 2-door 3.6 cylinder. I have 1/2" teraflex spacers and Rubicon springs & shocks from a Rubicon 3.6 2-door.

My jeep sitting side by side next to a bone stock 2023 Rubicon 2-door 2.0 4 cylinder. The Rubicon sat higher than my jeep for some reason, especially the front. I can only assume it's because I have a winch and steel bumper on front. I think it's fair to say I felt just a little jeep envy.

If you're going to spend the money why not do it right? You won't be able to dial in caster with fixed LCAs.
