Has anybody experienced a squeaky front end with this lift? Have mopar lift with front springs change to the ORP ...

Had the lift installed for about five months developed a squeak in the front end… Brought it back they tightened everything up and squeak came back again within a few weeks ??

Squeaks a bit going over bumps but definitely when you saw the wheel back-and-forth squeals like a pig...????

Did they torque everything down without the weight of the truck on the suspension?

Quick question ,I just went through all 46 pages of this thread and I'm more confused than when I started.What can I expect from this 2" kit?https://www.ebay.com/itm/2019-2020-...705289?hash=item341088e0c9:g:gukAAOSwvwhdS0~W 3inches in front and nothing in rear?
Keep in mind you’ll also gain typically 1-1.5” depending on what size tire you go with. I already had ORP springs from the factory so my truck sits over 4.5” in front and 3.5”higher in the rear than a non ORP truck. It’s definitely a noticeable difference and it sits as high as I want it to and looks awesome in my opinion.

Not to change the subject on you but I noticed you’re running the Mopar cat-back exhaust. I watched a long video on YouTube of a guy with that system and I love the way it sounds at all levels of acceleration, cruising speed and cold start! My concern is my neighbors in my subdivision probably wouldn’t appreciate It nowhere near as much as I do at 5:30 am every morning. I was considering the Flowmaster FX direct fit muffler as a quieter solution to keep the piece in my neighborhood.

Hey guys I have the ORP truck from factory. I just got the Mopar lift and have a pretty noticeable amount of rake still. I’m wondering if my truck is an inch taller front and rear from the factory than the non orp trucks are. So maybe the truck isn’t as leveled as the guys adding orp springs and the mopar kit to their non orp truck.

That is a true statement, if your truck has ORP from factory then yes it is 1" higher than non ORP front and back so you essentially lifted your truck 2" front and back maintaining the factory rake. IF you are looking for a more level look you would need to go down to a 1" spacer vs the 2" spacer in the rear or add non ORP springs to the rear only, which would drop the back 1". Option 2 would be to add a 1" or 1.5" top spacer in the front depending on how much rake you want to keep and leave the back alone. Did you take before and after measurements? Is your Mopar lift kit the updated kit, part number ending in AB?

My truck before any mods with factory ORP springs sat almost 2.5” higher in the rear. After the Mopar lift and taller tires, it still sits just under 2” higher in the rear. One option if you want to try and level is to remove the rear spacers but it might sit slightly lower in the rear which is a risk I wasn’t willing to take. It might sit perfectly level???

Forgot to mention, rake or no rake, your truck looks great!

Honestly, I was going to trade my rims for the 22” (had a guy who as willing to trade but went a different route), and I was on the fence with the 22’s anyhow. A) beause I wasn’t sure if I liked the design 100%, it was more that I wanted bigger rims. Then I started thinking how many easier it is to get curb rash on 22’s over the 20’s.

I also really lIke the design of my 20’s, the only thing I want to do is get them powder coated satin black which I have finally found a powder coater that can do everything at one shop (remove tires, powder coat, store truck while it’s being done and reinstall/balance tires) all for the price of $450 with 1 year warranty.

The Duratracs come with 35x12.5x20 that are a F load rating. They are 68lbs/tire so about 24lbs heavier than the stock Dueller H/T at 44lbs/tire. Not sure how this will affect power on my 3.21 gears, but I don’t think it will be bad. Still an extra 96lbs total.

I think I am more leaning for the Duratrac‘s as they do get good reviews and look great. Plus I had them before and they worked well. I will keep my 20” factory rims as I do like the design and don’t want spend $1500-2500 on aftermarket rims. View attachment 58610

Hi, I just have a question, did you end up getting the lift kit from EBay?

Ok great I’m glad you guys confirmed it for me. I may either buy some non ORP springs or remove the spacers in the back.

I'm just gonna go on record and say I think it looks awesome as it sits with the rake. I think when I'm ready to lift I may do the exact set up (ORP springs all around).

You have any other angles? What size/offset are your wheels and tires?

I think it looks amazing as well. No rake is not a great look to me. How Is the right quality? I really would like to do this lift to my rebel but I refuse to lose any of the comfortable ride.

Truck looks great! Do you have any other pictures?
