Does anyone recommend this kit? It’s the 2” instead of the 2.5”. I’m just really concerned about the uca.
I have a 2wd 5th gen so I should be good buying the kit of a 4th gen 4wd right?
Thank you for any feedback

I'd say get some uca's. Piece of mind makes it worth the $$$.
I got the same ones but 2.5" I'm gonna install but im gonna wait until some uca's go on sale.

I was recommended the mopar UCA’s that come with the 2” lift. They come out to $100 for the pair.
I don’t know if that’s a good idea

If you can get a pair for 100. That’s pretty darn good. Being 2wd. That maybe diff. Regardless set if ucas for 100$ seems good to me

You said your 2wd? If so then a strut spacer for a 4wd application will not work as its states it’s not for a 2wd. I’m pretty sure the frame and control arms are different between the 2wd and 4wd frames. Pretty sure the 2wd frames use a traditional shock and not a strut. I’d verify before ordering

It was stated here and other places that any 4wd-4th gen kit would fit a 2wd or 4wd 5th gen. As they are identical.
I just wanted to confirm it will work and that this spacer was good quality I’m leaning more toward the 2” instead of the 2.5” due to the uca’s issues.

I’m thinking about it you can get the set for about $100. But I’m wondering if they will make a difference the price seems low lol
Did a good bit of research on them there from the Mopar 2" lift kit they look identical to the ones on our trucks right now but they have a better ball joint angle. They should work and you have got me wanting to pull the trigger now and do the lift now instead of wait

Lol yeah I’m just debating it too. It shouldnt be bad $100 for the UCAs and $60 for the leveling kit plus labor cost and alignment

Where did you order from and what promo code did you use?
The same one we're about to cost me $10 more.


I used code “FS2020” for free shipping no tax.
