Hello everyone,
I have a '15 JKU Sport that I had the Mopar/Fox 2" lift (Manufacturer Part No: 77070088) and 35's installed on when I bought it. Since then I have learned of it's limitations and set out to upgrade.
Current lift came with:
2" coils
Fox 2.0 Shocks (best I can figure is they're the 1.5-3.5" lift versions but I'm honestly not sure they aren't some proprietary shock made for mopar.)
Front double Cardin drive shaft
Rear track bar bracket
bump stop extensions
sway bar links
brake line relocation brackets (SUUUCK, took fronts off after shock body smashed them)
I have the following upgrade parts:
Rock Krawler F&R adjustable track bars
Rock Krawler 3.5" Coils
Front track bar relocation bracket
Grade 8 LCA/track bar hardware
Crown extended brake lines
Synergy adjustable tie rod
Synergy adjustable drag link
Synergy adjustable control arms (all 8)
I spent the whole day today installing all the front arms, coils and steering metal. Because I didn't buy this as a kit, I'm afraid I have over looked some things.
Things I know/think I need now:
Exhaust extensions
new proper bump stops
new longer shocks or shock relocation brackets
Am I missing anything else?
Fox 2.0 racing series shocks seem to come in 2 models, 1.5-3.5 and 4-6 inch lift. The new LCA's and UCA's gained me a lot of axle droop and the 3.5" coils put my shocks at dang near full extension. It really seems to me those shocks either aren't good to 3.5" of lift or I don't have THOSE shocks at all (see proprietary fox shock?)
Without the lower shock bolts connected the axle droops a solid 3-4" beyond full extension. Am I missing something? I made the assumption that my shocks would be good and did NOT budget for new ones. The synergy shock relocation brackets state they can use the factory shocks up to 3" of lift.... How well will they work with my Fox shocks? -My current bumps allowed my tires to contact the front fender brackets (I have flat fenders), but I always had a good 1.5-2" of dirty shaft left on the shocks after good flexing. I plan on getting the correct bump stops but I'm afraid I won't have them in before an upcoming wheeling trip. Will my new setup potentially compromise my shocks without proper bumps? I really don't fully understand setting them up properly.
Thank you if you read this all the way through! and thank you for your time!
