Default Opinions on Mopar 2" Lift - Good Deal or Crap?

The dealer says they can get the 2" Mopar lift installed with parts and labor for $625 - seems like a good deal considering the teraflex kit for the 2.5" lift costs that in parts alone.

I'm just trying to fit 35" tires.... I really want to improve my breakover angle cause I get hung up on the transmission crossbar a lot. I'm not sure if 2" + 35" tires is enough... Suggestions?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience or recommendations. Is it a good deal or not? It seems like there's a good amount of work with it that goes into making sure everything stays nicely aligned. The guy actually talked me out of the 4" lift on the 4-door because it's not that good at keeping things lined up well and causes stress on components.

This is what the mopar 2" comes with according to the site:
(2" Lift Kits | Mopar)

  • Ideally rated coil springs, combined with your choice of specially tuned shock absorbers, provide unmatched ride quality and handling, both on-road and on the trails
  • Choose between Mopar's Performance shock or the premium Bilstein Shock. (not sure if price is for bilstein or mopar)
  • Adjustable alignment cams (at lower link arms-to-axle attachment points) correct caster angle.
  • Front body / frame alignment corrected by an adjustable track bar; the rear is handled via a track bar relocation bracket with integrated brace.
  • Correct length stabilizer bar links with Heim ends.
  • Brake hose and parking brake cable relocation brackets.
  • Replacement high-clearance, high-capacity steering stabilizer kit.
  • Works with all vehicle systems including the Electronic Stability Control.

That is a good deal, however the teraflex has a couple more components. Do your research and you will make a good choice.

The kits are somewhat overpriced, but are of good quality, and should maintain your warranty.

Yup that's what I thought.

I would also install yourself and save some money, learn about your rig.

In reference to the kit. I have driven ones with that lift installed and they rode very nice. Like Ryan said just over priced.

Looks like a good price if it comes with the bilstein shocks, looks like that may be an option in the description. I would not use the cam bolts that the kit comes with
