Default Mopar 2 inch lift kit

I was wondering if the Mopar 2 inch lift kit is any good?

Anyone have any experience with it?

Lift Kits - JK (4WD)

Short Arm Lift Kits: 2"" and 4"" These Mopar lifts offer exceptional ride comfort and control, on-road or off. Both lift heights use the same basic components, except for coil springs, and yield all the suspension travel the factory JK driveline offers. Coil spring rate is wheelbase-specific (2 or 4-door), plus two Mopar shock absorber options allow you to tailor the kit to your performance aspirations. Both kits also include a replacement high-clearance, high capacity hydraulic steering stabilizer kit (white color). The 2"" lift is ideal for 33"" to 35"" diameter tires; the 4"" is best suited for 35"" to 37"" tires. Note that Rubicons (with 2"" or 4"" Lifts) require the Front Stabilizer Bar Link Kit (P5155512). Long Arm Lift Kits: 4.5"" The ultimate off-road performer. Mopar`s Long Arm kit provides optimal suspension travel by using longer, high-articulation axle-to-frame link arms. Dampening is handled by Bilstein high-pressure monotube gas shocks. This kit contains a vast array of components, including replacement front / rear driveshafts. Best suited for 37"" diameter tires. Shock Options: Performance shock is a twin-tube, high capacity hydraulic shock that features tenstage velocity sensitive valving. White enamel finish; includes black boot. Mopar`s premium shock, jointly tuned with Bilstein, allows you to realize the most performance gain. The seamless monotube body contains a patented piston design and a high-pressure gas charge to quickly dissipate heat and minimize shock fade. Silver Zinc plated finish; includes black boot. WARNING: Lift Kits alter vehicle properties and affect handling. Lift kits are intended to be used for off-road driving only. Your kit will come with more detailed instructions and warnings. Contact the Mopar Direct Connection Tech Line (888-528-4364) to obtain a copy. NOTE: Vehicle RPM and speedometer readings are based on the stock vehicle`s tire and wheel combinations. Installing larger wheels and tires with your Mopar Performance lift kit could result in incorrect RPM, speedometer and odometer readings. WARRANTY: Lift Kits work with all vehicle systems including the Electronic Stability Program, and are covered (except P5155075) by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. The warrantor is the Lift Kit manufacturer, not Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC, or the dealership selling the product. Contact the Mopar Direct Connection Tech Line (888-528-4364) for warranty details and installation instructions.

It may be worth it if the dealer will not give you a hassle about it.
My dealer told me it would void my warranty no matter what lift I get. Oh well, crossing fingers nothing goes wrong...cuz I'm about to lift it

Why do you want a 2" lift?
My first thought is it's Mopar so the dealership won't void my warranty. I'm not sure though - they still might, by the sounds of it

I'm gonna drop by my friendly neighborhood Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership and ask...

The kit comes from Mopar Performance, and this is what they say in the catalog with the kit

NO PARTS WARRANTY – “AS IS”
Mopar Performance parts beginning with a “P” prefix are sold “as is” unless otherwise noted. This means that parts sold by Mopar Performance carry no warranty whatsoever. Implied warranties, such as warranties of merchantability, are excluded. (An implied warranty of merchantability means that the part is reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it was sold). The entire risk as to quality and performance of such parts is with the buyer. Should such parts prove defective following their purchase, the buyer and not the manufacturer, distributor or retailer, assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing or repair. Chrysler, Jeep® , Dodge and Ram vehicle and parts warranties are voided if the vehicle or parts are used for competition. The addition of performance parts does not by itself void a vehicle’s warranty. However, added performance parts (parts not originally supplied on the vehicle from the factory) are not covered by the vehicle’s warranty, and any failure that they may cause is also not covered by the vehicle’s warranty.


What it boils down to is the factory warranty only covers what is on the build sheet. The dealer may warranty the lift, and many aftermarket lifts carry limited liftetime warranties. It's your money, but when I talked to my dealer about installing my lift, they had experience with OME and TF lifts, but had never installed a Mopar kit

Thanks for the insight! Yeah I'm not crazy about the Mopar kit myself. Sounds like it lacks street cred, for starters. I've started to look into AEV and other aftermarket ones.

If u get the OME light load kit u don't need adjustable track bars. Adjustable LCAs will suffice

Get another lift. The mopar ones are OVERPRICED. I paid 500 for my BDS 2" lift and labor! Lifetime warranty too. If something is off, they will fix it free.
