I just pulled out my procomp springs and put in the Mopar 4" springs. rides much better then the procomp.
get the dealer to give you the install instructions when they are done.
it has all the part #'s listed as to what is in the kit and they are all Chrysler part #'s so can be replaced easily if one shits the bed.

That is what I was thinking about myself too LOL.
Just have fun with your lift/Jeep and down the road up-grade when you can. Just check with the folks on this forum first. I know I will be when/if I can afford better.

This was one of the kits I researched. FYI Mopar told me that their lifetime warranty only covers the 2" lift. And if you read the fine print and jump from definition to definition, they can cancel your lifetime warranty for anything that falls outside of the factory specs. But you can always cancel the lifetime warranty for a pro rated refund if you desire.

Yup...I called the warranty people, too. Every time I call, I get a different answer. One said only Mopar 2" lift is covered, another said any Mopar lift is covered, another said you can't go up in tire size, another said you can go up two tire sizes, etc. Even asking service managers at different dealerships, I got different answers. One guy even told me to keep my stock tires and put them back on before taking it in for a warranty repair. But the service manager said he'd cover any warranty issues that is caused by the Mopar lift because his dealership sold it and installed it. I hope he's a man of his word. But, I guess I'll have to wait and see. [emoji16]

This is not true any more. The new MOPAR 2" and 4" lift kits were completely designed in house. The first ones years ago were rebranded superlift then they switched to teraflex kits with their speed bumps. But the new ones released 2 years ago were a total ground up design in house.

If you want something in writing about mopar warranty look here:

Even the way it's written is pretty vague.

Really?? Okay, fair enough. I'll be honest and say that I haven't followed every change that Mopar has made and if this new kit came out 2 years ago, it's clearly something I missed. Being that this is coming from you, I can only assume the info is accurate. Unless I'm missing something, the rear tire carrier is still TeraFlex though, right? Also, between Superlift and TeraFlex, Mopar was selling rebranded Rubicon Express.

Yes you are right, many of the parts like the tire carrier are still rebranded parts. Tony C designed and tuned the lifts, the 2" actually rides surprisingly well. Put thousands of miles on and off road on it. I've never driven the 4" so cannot offer personal experience on that one.
Okay, I remember Tony telling me about wanting to make something like that. Glad to hear he was finally able to do it.

it rides really good. its one of my favorite boxed kits to do.I switched my own Jeep to the coils from the kit. the only issue I have is the steering damper they have in it tends to push a little hard so I would use the factory stabilizer or if you want upgrade to the fox through shaft.

Ive got the 3 inch version. I don't think it's that bad, but im also in the "not much to compare it to" group.
The first thing you will want to do is let some air out of the tires. Dealerships love to crank those babies up 40+psi. Take it down to 28-30 and then take a drive. Of course, your tpms will complain, but it's better than bleeding kidneys.

no it doesn't. it doesn't have the nice fancy bump stops either.

So I got my jeep back from the dealership with the Mopar 4" lift kit and 35" BFGoodrich mud terrains on Procomp 17" x 9" wheels. Looks great (will post pictures later. But I noticed my steering wheel is a bit shakey. My TPMS reads 38 to 40 PSI. I guess I'll have to air down a bit to see if the shakiness goes away. Or is it something else?

Depends what you mean by shakey? Definitely drop them to 30psi, see how it goes and then do a chalk test to dial it in.
A speed related shimmy in the steering wheel is almost always a tire balancing issue. This is common with big off road tires. Take it back and have them give it another go.
