Default Thoughts on MOPAR 2.5" Lift

Hi all,
Just would like to get get your opinions on the MOPAR 2.5 " lift.
Based here in Dubai we dont get that much choice in what we can put on so before I splash the cash some ideas would be good.
Happy New Year to all the JK bretheren
Steve

Extremely overpriced for what you get. Unless your dealership is giving a warranty In Writing!!, you should pass on it and look elsewhere.

(and by warranty, I am talking the full mfg's warranty, not a 'parts only' warranty where they won't replace anything that breaks because of the lift...)

Well the choices in no particular order are:
TeraFlex
Rough Country
Full Traction (Like the look of the 3" lift they do)
or the chuffing expensive ICON.
Problem being here are the sharks who ripp you off the moment you walk through the door. It would be cheaper to import but it is a real pain in the backside and then customs duty on top.

I heard that the Mopar lift kits when they arrive at dealership look identical packaging and hardware that Rubicon Express does.

The dealership told me their 2.5" lift installed does not affect my warranty but if I install the same 2.5" lift it voids my entire warranty. I stared at her for a second, then looked at my wife who gave me that "do not get lecture this stupid chick about that Moss warranty act thingy" and said thank for the information.

I would go Tera Flex or Full Traction. TF kits come with shocks, FT does not, so I would give an edge to TF just for that as importing is a pain. Both are good companies, and you would be happy with either one.

I understand that the

2.5" = Superlift
4.5" = Rubicon Express.
