The Non-Rubicon Jl & JLU Thread

[Jeeper123]

Thank you. Mopar 2in lift got 3in total..Black Rhino 17x9 -12 offset 4.5 backspace BFG KO2 317/70-17.. almost a 35 tire.. with this setup I ended up with a total height change of 6in with lift and tires..

Thanks for the share! Again, you have an awesome setup and looks like a lot fun. Keep in Jeep’n!

One last question: how’s the ride with these mods? Did you give up much of factory rude quality?

I’ll tell you what, would not go back to stock! It’s a stiffer more control feel in a good way.. keep an eye out on your local dealers parts department running specials on installed Mopar lift on Craigslist.. Good Luck with your Jeep!!

Wait until the $80k wrangler comes out.

Ya, my JL (not rubicon) was 52.5K.....same as my Mercedes 350K..

Love this Thread Guys and Gals... Yes I am a Rubi owner .. But; 3 of my 6 wranglers were Sports … So I have a very strong appreciation for building a personalized JEEP

I did the math on a set of Fox shocks and springs for my JK as I had to replace a spring and shock and it was a better deal to buy the Mopar kit from a dealer then buy the parts individually. Plus you get the other parts to make the installation painless. On my JK 2 door I find the ride slightly softer but that could also be the tire upgrade.

Would agree though that the kit is a good upgrade if you are in the market for a lift. Too bad it can’t be factory installed on a new Jeep build or at least I don’t think up here we can.

I agree it’s a nice upgrade and a great ride.. I ended up going with E rated KO2 due to all the info I found was the E and C rated tire weighed the same.. So, my ride may be a bit stiffer due to sidewall stiffness.. I’m still playing with tire pressure right now running them at 32 psi cold..

I don’t believe it’s a factory option for install, only available thru dealer or a third party..When I was shopping, I was going to buy on amazon for $1,123 and then install my self with some friends help, but I ran across a dealership parts department running a deal.. You buy the lift at a discount and it included install by a trained factory tech.. It only took them 2.5 hours..Cost of Lift and labor for install was $1,495 + tax.. They would not let me use the 15% off coupon though..Still was a great deal and we are happy with how it turned out..
