Longhorn Laramie w/2" Mopar Lift

[skidoosctt]

Finally got it installed. Along with 275/65R20 BF Goodrich ko2 dt tires. Slight rub at full turn. Rubbing on oem mudflap. Slightly stiffer ride, but I contribute that to the 10 ply tires. About 20lbs heavier per tire. Stock measurement was 21 1/2 front, Rear 23 1/2. New measurement is 24 front, 25 1/2 rear. Still has 1 1/2 take. But I'm fine with that. Looks so much more like a truck. This was the updated AB kit.

Looks good! Thanks for the pictures. I am having my Laramie sport lifted next Tues w/ the updated Mopar 2" and ORP springs (hoping for close to level). I am keeping stock wheels with 35X11.50 ridge grapplers. I will post pictures as soon as it's complete.

Thanks! Look foward to seeing it. I still cant believe how much better the truck looks.

I agree, lifting these 5th gens and putting some meat on the wheels really changes the look of them. I am surprised you are getting a rub at all with that tire size. If you removed your mud flaps do you think they would rub at all?

 

[skidoosctt]

Its totally the mud flap. Otherwise there would be plenty of room. Just going to use a heat gun and mold it a little.

My appt got pushed back a day. The lift is getting put on today and getting an alignment first thing Thursday morning. I will post pictures as soon as I get it back. I was a little premature updating my signature ha.

Here she is! Im happy with the results. I will measure tomorrow to see where she sits. Looks pretty close to level. Mopar 2" w/ORP springs in front only, 35X11.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. No rubbing at all.

Man that looks great. The truck already had the ORP springs factory right? I have the 4x4 ORP Laramie and I am looking at doing exactly what you did. Looks like the springs helped make it truly level vs. the OP post that left a little rake.

Thanks! My truck is 4x4 but did not come with the ORP. I bought the ORP springs separate just for the front along with the 2" Mopar lift in order to get an extra inch of lift in the front. I still have the non-ORP springs in the rear. If you put the 2" Mopar lift on yours with the ORP springs in front and rear you will prob end up with a little more rake than mine.
I will measure tomorrow and post some measurements.

Looks great! So you did or did not use the ORP springs in front? Also, could you post more pictures from different angles. This actually makes me consider using the stock wheels when I get the same truck later this year. I thought the stock offset would come too close to the UCR. Thanks

I did use the ORP springs in the front. I am very happy with the look as I only have about .5" of rake now. As far as keeping stock wheels I believe 35X11.5 would be the biggest you can go without rubbing on UCA or wheel well at full turn. The tires still sit inside the fender flare about an inch so I ordered 1.25" bora spacers so I can bring them out flush with the fender flare. Here's a few more pics, hope this helps. Good luck with the new purchase.

Jeffjad- nice work combining the ORP spring and mopar lift. Your truck looks great. I am looking to modify my current level with something inlcuding UCA's. I'm glad yours worked out well.

Thanks! I can't take credit for being the originator of the 2" Mopar w/orp, did alot of reading on here and thanks to others trial and error I was able to decide this was the lift combo for me. Love the look but the ride def stiffened up ( to be expected with lift and 10 ply 35" tires).

Looks great. I would like to do the same but also add ORP springs to the rear to keep rake. What was the total cost of parts and labor?

Thanks. I paid $1,200 for the lift and $110 for the ORP springs at my dealership with a 10% military discount. My local shop charged me $725 for lift install, alignment and mount and balance of 4 tires.

Any other pics? I’m running the same tires and trying to get an idea of how things fill out with the Mopar lift. Thanks.
