Yes It will pay for it if
#1 - You have Proof of Purchase
#2 - Chrysler/ Jeep installed it
That is what I was told. I purchased from Chrysler Dealer but I had my Mechanic install it. So at this time my dealer is just providing the spacer for me...

Oh that’s perfect as I purchased mine and had the dealer install it. I want to make sure that when they do this they do an alignment and make sure my headlights are also aligned.

Awesome. Thanks. Do we know how much it raises the front? I'd kind of like a little rake, but not as much as there currently is.

From the looks of it I would say 1/2" to 3/4" nothing super crazy.
The Mopar lift is 1.5" in Front and 2" in Rear making a 3-1/2" to 4" Rake Depending on Build.
I only did the lift in Font and Did NOT Install the Rear Spacer , Only Shocks . So my 2wd CC with 6' Bed and Tow Package has 1.5" Rake to it

Perfect. I'll be contacting the dealership next week. I like it. Interested to see yours. Do you have a picture?

Here is mine, it has the updated 2" Mopar Fox Shocks Lift/Level kit that releases in May. Was told I was one of the first in the nation to receive.
I will say, compared to another truck on the lot with the original Mopar 2", mine sits about an inch or so higher in the front and is noticeably more level but still have a slight rake, which I like.

Which UCA’s are you using? I got the Mopar Lift Also. Just waiting my the extra component from Mopar to level it out. That truck looks awesome
Any chance we could get a straight pic from the side? Have you measured yet to see how close to level it is? What do the CV angles look like up front? Looks good.

Don't fear the 35's! haha Mine drives very smooth, especially for being on Toyo MT's. Also I can't even hear the tires, which is strange but also nice.
I’ve called my dealer and they have no idea what I’m talking about when I ask them about the updated struts. And why does it still say it’s a 2” lift when you look up that part number if it lifts the truck 3” in the front?

Mine didn't either. I printed out the TSB and explained. Then they got it. They asked how I knew about all of this stuff, I told them I read a lot on this forum. Then another guy who was there too said the customers are usually the first to know as a result of forums like this.

...Assuming I measured this correctly, I also did it on the fly so I'm sure its close but may be off slightly:
- Front center hub to fender: 24"
- Rear center hub to fender: 25 1/2"
Honestly it is this perfect amount of rake as it sits almost level with hauling my boat and the right amount of nose down when not towing. I'm partial to a slight rake though.
Looks great! Much better than the original kit. I don't ever tow so I prefer the truly leveled look. You did not add the offroad package springs correct? Somebody was doing that and I couldn't remember who. It looks like coupling the updated Mopar kit with the offroad package would leave it almost perfectly leveled with ~1/2" of rake, which is unnoticeable and allows for a little added weight in the bed at times. This would essentially give you the 3.5" that the Readylift kit does but strictly with new struts/springs instead of spacers (except for the rear) giving a much better ride.
