Thinking of adding the mopar 2" lift to my 22 Rebel.

Am I wrong to think the 1" factory lift via the springs will net 3 inches of lift total, increasing it by 2 inches?

It says this kit isn't compatible, is this actually the case?

Random pics of my truck included lol.

my understanding is that it will fit but since its a true lift and not spacers the lift will not stack with factory lift. you will only get one inch of total lift

The Rebel's 1" lift is likely a combination of stiffer front spring and larger 33" tires.

The Mopar 2" lift is a spacer lift out front, using a preload spring spacer. The kit isn't supposed to be used on the Rebel due to the angles being thrown off too much when combined with the stiffer Rebel spring. Even though the Mopar kit comes with new UCA, from what I understand the angles aren't enough to compensate if used on a Rebel.

That being said, you can install the kit, you simply will have more wear if you use the Mopar UCAs. There are better kits out there for you.

The lift is in the spring. 1 inch. Honestly, the best low price lift you can do is Bilstein 5100's. They are fully digressive and give a very nice ride. If you set them at the number five ring you will get about 3" of lift. If it was 2" you'd be good with factory UCA's but at 3 inches you'll want to go with aftermarket UCA's. You'll get a perfect alignment and everything will be great. You can expect to spend about $1200 including installation and alignment. I've been taking progressively more difficult trails and my Bilsteins have reached their max ability for me so I'm going to upgrade. But, for on road and light trails they have been magnificent.

Another vote for the Bilsteins. Set at the five ring, nearly perfect level on my Rebel. I added the Mopar UCA's which look OE but have extended range ball joint. No effect on ride quality.

Just curious why would anything not work with Rebel, but work with any other trim with ORG? Is the ORG suspension not the same as a Rebel?
