Like the title says. Anyone hear anymore about the Mopar lift kits????? I remember hearing rumors around Sema time, but have not heard anything else A lift kit covered under warranty...... I'm in! where are they?

 

They are available from your dealer. They are made by Rubicon Express, and include the front and rear driveshaft for around $5300 if I remember. They are not covered under warranty though since they are considered a Mopar Performance product. It has only been tested to meet their corrosion resistance, but nothing else.

 

I was at the dealer a couple months ago just when it was announced - they showed me the memo announcing it. I think it's a 4" lift and I remember that it wasn't cheap but that would explain it if it comes with driveshafts whcih you would need for a 4" lift.

 

Such a good deal!

 

In quebec, the Rubicon Express kit installed by the dealer is guaranted.
Same price here: around 5500$ + txs

 

$5,300.00 Are you kidding me

Lets do the math shall we:

$2,500.00 for complete 4" lift kit(including shocks, full set of adj control arms and a set adj trackbars)
$1,000.00 for a pair of 1310 driveshafts(you can bump that up to $1,500.00 for 1350 if you like)

How much is that...$3,500.00-$4,000.00 approx

Not only is it $1,500.00 more expensive,(approx) the flex of a RE is not as much as other brands like Teraflex or Superlift.(This is acorrding to my research on this forum) Please correct me if I'm wrong

 

The way I see it the only reason to have the dealer install this kit is so you can finance the entire amount when you buy the Jeep by incorporating the cost of the kit/install into the purchase price of the vehicle. IMO it is a waste of money, but I have wasted I don't know how much buying and selling stuff changing the Jeep around.

The Rubicon Express kit is not a bad kit, but IMO there are much better options for your money!

 

I agree with you, but it's the price to pay if you don't want problem with the guarantee of Chrysler. This is the only lift kit guaranted by the dealer. That's why it's expensive.
There is actually a new Wrangler equiped with the Rubicon Express kit in the showroom of the dealer Girard Dodge Jeep of Repentigny, Qc.

 

Still too much to pay. Remember, the dealer has to prove any malfuntion of the vehicle is due to the lift, otherwise its covered under warranty.

 

None of the dealers in the US are covering any part of this lift under warranty. Must be some warranty law for Canada, but for the United States you are better off finding something else. For the money it is tough to beat the Currie and the Clayton lifts.
