Rubicon Express does. The only addition that Mopar adds is bilstein shocks. The mopar kit is ridiculously overpriced.

It also comes with front and rear drive lines and yokes so if you acually price it out its worth it. Plus it keeps your factory waranty if you have the deler install it.

No. Only if the dealer can prove that the lift was the cause of the problem in the first place. Check out the FAQ.

so can anyone explain this: i have the RE 4.5" LA with 37's that my mechanic installed. lets say i bust the front axle, it would not be covered under warranty.

but the dealer can install the exact same lift and i bust the axle and it will covered under warranty?

both have same parts, both do same damage, hell my mechanic is better than dealership. the busted axle has absolutely nothing to do with installation, so why cant i get my axle covered under warranty?

they talk about warranty will be voided if the lift or big tires can be proven to do the damage, but just because they install the exact lift and tires, they still prove the lift and tires busted the axle, it will be covered.


see why i am so freakin pissed off. all this warrant y crap is BS!!

If dealer goes after your warranty because of lift it will make life miserable for you. You may be in the right but fighting them might get really expensive.

If you have multiple dealers in the area find a friendly one. In my case there is only one local and they are not friendly to modifications.

luckily i have boycoted the local dealer. my guy takes care of my jeep if anything happens. i just had to vent a minute, buts its crap.

i bet the dealer still sends it out to someone else for install anyways, what dealer actually does their own work anymore

sorry for the hijac,
