Reviews for Mopar 2" Lift Kit for 18-23 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited

2018 JKU Sport S. This was my first time installing a lift, and I found this to be a good challenge, but fairly easy to install. It took me about 12 hours in my garage by myself, using only hand tools. The only part I needed assistance with was getting the passenger side front coil spring mounted. I highly recommend getting a coil spring compressor to pop in the new coils. The instructions were easy to follow and clear. All required hardware came with the kit. Pre-lift condition of the vehicle: I had 35" tires mounted (the pre-lift measurement from top of tire to fender was 2.5" front and 3.5" rear). I also had a steel front bumper and winch installed. I added 3/4" coil spacers to the front coils while doing this lift to compensate for my heavier bumper and winch. Post-lift measurement from top of tire to fender is 7-3/8" front and 7-1/4" rear. I took the Jeep in for an alignment after the lift and they corrected the toe-in by about .2 degrees. The handling, combined with larger tires, is much different than stock. It's not bad to me, but you definitely feel the difference. I took off one star because the lift is much higher than expected. Some would call this a positive, but it affects the ride more than I was expecting.

The instructions were incorrect and caused major delays in the installation process.

This kit overall isn't bad, however I rated it 3/5 becuase: -Still needs more caster correction. I got a lot of steering wheel shimmy (think death wobble but WAY less severe and only at certain speeds). I fixed this with more caster and adjustable LCAs. Axle shift will be noticeable and was a little over an inch from vs rear so track bars would be a decent idea as well. - Spring perches have been noted to crumple and fail. Mine haven't but theres plenty online that do. For the price I would go another route. There's plenty out there thats better for not much more money, especially when you add in the cost of track bars and adjustable lower control arms.

This is a "for looks only" lift kit. It has no track bar correction brackets or bars, it gives you a horrible ride and performs horribly in roads grooved by 18 wheelers and wants to change lanes with small bumps in the road. It is a true two handed driving experience with this kit alone.
