help me!!
the guys that i was talking to in the service department at the dealership told me that it had to be mopar. thanks, i didnt know that. yea i was looking around an thats just way to much for a 4 inch lift. what would you think would be my best opion for a 4 inch lift then if not mopar? any suggestions. thanks again
if you're just planning to run 35's, a 2.5" 3" kit is more what i would recommend. at this height, you can get away with just installing front lower adjustable control arms and if you have a 2-door, rear uppers so that you can install a u-joint style drive shaft. if you have an automatic, you will want to get ready to buy a new front shaft as well. all of the suspension companies that sponsor this website have kits that will fit the bill here.

ill be doing more shopping around now. i always have a nother question for you guys. i have a RR bumper an the RR 10500 winch in the front, which kits can allow me to adjust the sag in the front?? or should i just use a leveling kit as well as the lift kit? thanks again guys for the info
is it safe to assume you're hoping to run 37" tires? because, at 4", that's about what you can clear and at 4", i would highly recommend that you get a kit that comes complete with new adjustable control arms, track bars, relocations brackets and drag link correction. this is of course to say nothing about new drive shafts. please note that all this extra stuff is to help optimize your ON ROAD ride and handling more than off road. kits like the full-traction ultimate, teraflex flexarm, clayton, etc are all good options here.

i would work in small steps. install your lift and determine at that time if you really need to make any adjustments to compensate for sag. you may find that none is necessary and, if you feel that an adjustment is needed, you can add coil spacers to help make up the difference.

Mopar sells a few lift kits. Not all are made by RE. In paticular, the 2in. lift kit is manufactured by SuperLift for Mopar. All warranty claims associated with a part from the lift that fails will have to be addressed by Superlift. Not the dealer, Chrysler or Mopar.
BTW, if this is the kit that you're interested in it costs the dealer around $1210.00. If the Mopar lift is the kit you want, try doing an internet search for Mopar parts dealers. There was someone in MA and SC that were selling them below the original asking price of $1500.00.

If anyone in service department tries to tell you that mopar is necesary to keep your warranty, they are lying and just trying to sell you their parts. WOL's experience proved that dealers are supposed to flag your vehicle for review (if you have ANY brand of lift) to determine if the lift caused any need for repair. Some follow this policy, some don't, and some do only if you piss them off. Choose the lift YOU want, then find a lift-friendly dealer or other 4x4 shop to install it. If you're really worried about warranty, then don't get a lift at all. However, in my experience, most dealers are reasonable and will do warranty work with a lift as long as the warranty repair is not a direct result of the lift.
My local delership installed the mopar 2" KIT ON A 2010 4 DR MANGO TANGO Rubicon that I was going to trade my current jeep in on. I was pissed because I was in there two days prior and it was still stock. They tried push me into buying the jeep for $4000. more. Well they lost that sale.
I spoke to the salesman about two months later and he advised that the person who bought the jeep tried to return it because of how bad the lift was.
They use brake line extensions and the brake line rubs the front shock bracket by the frame. It ended up wearing a hole in the brake line.
The kit comes with a rear track bar bracket instead of an adjustable track bar. The stock bracket weld ended braking because the brackets only attached to each other and not the axel.
The shocks are also junk. He said the person complained about the ride and said his wife refused to ride in it.
Well the dealership was willing to fix the broken items but when he asked to have the lift taken off the dealership wanted to charge the owner $1500. labor and wanted him to purchase stock tires since the dealership put 33" tires on it.
The kicker was they would not refund him the origional $4000. extra he paid for the lift and tires.
Last I heard chrysler refused to get involved because the delership fixed the broken parts under warrenty and the install of the lift was the dealerships responsibility. Stay away from the mopar lift.
