Whoa, let us know what happens with this

Some sites are saying 77072424 does work with my 2020 and some say it doesn’t. The fox shocks are 68323528aa and 68323529aa. Is that all correct?

I think I just scored a deal of a lifetime. Got this kit from a guy locally on fb marketplace for $270 brand new. All the shocks were factory sealed in the box but he opened them up for me.

So now Im up for putting tires on the truck after putting the Mopar lift on. I've been all over the map for tire sizes, but was figuring to go for the gusto and either put a 295/60 or 295/65 with the Mopar lift. I am using the stock night edition wheels with the +19 offset.

So if I am following the OP's picture, he fit a 35"x12.50" tire with this lift? I'm looking at the Toyos in the above sizes and they are quoted at 11.8" wide for both the 60 and 65. So if I'm following it correct, only variable is the diameter of the tire since the width looks to be the same between the 2:

Just placed the order for my AD kit. I already have 275/60R20 DURATRACS on my truck which come out to be 33in. Can't wait to get a little more space between the tire and fender. Here is a picture of it now. Tint coming soon.

I noticed no one on here seems to have fender flares. I purchased mine on amazon and I love the look over naked. Any thoughts?

Dealer said the order should take roughly 45 days. I am fine waiting the time over going with another option as I want that factory ride and warranty on my $52k truck.

A lot of us have the body color fender flares from the factory. For some reason, I like your flares black. You already have the high level of contrast with black and white, and I think the black flares complements it.

Anyone run into their parking sensors not working?

I just installed the 77072424AC kit with the ORP springs in front and 295/60R20, and it is giving me close to dead level. I just noticed this morning that my parking sensors are showing unavailable? Is there a calibration that needs to be performed, or am I out of luck with the new ride height?

If you figure this out, can you post what you found? I have no idea other than you accidentally snipping a wire or something why this would happen.

This is almost identical to what I plan to do. Im biased but I think it looks GREAT. Have you have any rubbing issues with the stock wheel/new tire setup? And have you noticed any negative issues with the ORG springs?

I dont know why more people dont keep the stock wheels, I think they are awesome.

FYI anyone running the mopar 2” lift and orp front springs you will likely eventually have issues with the ball joints on the mopar uca’s. I take my truck off road fairly often and my ball joint gave out after 6 months. I almost regret spending the extra money on the “high quality” mopar kit now, even though it did ride very nice when it was in good shape.

Have you since replaced the UCAs ? how did you deal with this? I wont go off road more than 30% a year, but go our every winter/summer and want to be able to without worry.

 

[Jeffjad]

How are those UCA/BJ angles treating you now? Have you had any issues or noticed increase wear anywhere else? It worries me when people make comparisons with the readylift 3.5 which is not recommended...?

Thanks for your feedback.

I swapped out my Mopar UCAs with Rough Country UCAs soon after my lift install. I prob only had the Mopar UCAs on for about 2k miles before swapping.

@Jeffjad lots posts here, kind of hard weed out the info I’m looking for…. I’ve got a question for you. Are you using the RC UCAs with 2in lift? The RC site shows it should only be used with 3-3.5in. So I’m curious if there are really any issues with running less than 3? I’m planning on doing 2.5 with Bilstein 5100s and want to replace UCAs while I’m at it. Just wondering if that is do able or if I’ll have issues with alignment or anything else.

@javiwavi I got about 3" of total lift in the front because I added the ORP springs to my Mopar lift. I have been running the Rough Country UCAs (link below), I know they are for 4th gen RAM's but they work just fine and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I've have them on for 30k miles with no issues at all, alignment is perfect. These UCAs are recommended for 3" of lift.

Does anyone know how many inches are the rear spring spacers in the kit?

It ended up being the tire size calibration. I used AlfaOBD to change the tire size to the 34" at the same time. When I changed it back to stock the parking sensors work again.

I have had two dealerships tell me that the ORP springs "would not work" or they have not heard of people using them with the mopar lift. Anyone else have this feedback and if so how would you explain it to them in a way that puts them at ease? They said that the spring would not work in the strut...

* reading through earlier threads, seems like the option would be to have a local shop install the kit with ORG springs and put in RC UCAs? Say goodbye to warranty?

Oh, I was just reading about some guys having issues with that when they were selecting certain years in the alpfa settings.

I just had a dealership do mine. I ordered the springs on mopar.com and had them sent to the dealer for pickup. I scheduled the lift to be put on and told them they had the springs that I ordered. No questions and they did it.

I didn't use a dealership for install....most are rather incompetent, didn't trust them. 30k miles with Mopar lift and ORP springs on front, no issues here.
