Updated 2" Mopar Lift/Level Kit - Discussion

[agjr85]

Has anyone run just the front part of the kit? Wouldn't that level it out?
I'm tempted to just have the front done and just upgrade the shocks in the rear.
Thoughts? Waste of money and just wait for Bilstein/Fox products?

Love your setup. I’m running almost the exact thing. Do you have pictures more of the side that show the rake? I feel like mine isn’t as noticeable as before.

I like that look. Are those stock wheels with a 19 offset? What size are the wheels and tires. Do they stick out beyond the fenders? Thanks

I contacted Bilstein. Early next year, they are coming out with a 5100 series shock to LEVEL the front of Ram 1500's. It will replace the shock component of the front strut and will use all of the existing other parts (no additional parts required). At the same time, they are coming out with a matching 5100 series rear shock that will not change the height of the rear of the truck (ie maintain normal ride height). I only inquired about a 2020 Laramie crew cab 5'7" bed 4wd so if your truck is different, contact them . They answer inquiries the same day.

Thanks!! Yes 20” OEM wheels with the +19 offset. The tires are 285/65R20 BFG KO2’s. They don’t stick out past the fender. No rubbing and No spacers either.

It's great to see the KO2 on your truck. Looks great!

I just look a picture at work and used my phone to auto-rotate the picture to have the tires level. Sorry for how dirty the truck is in the photo. Ha!

$1000+ seems a bit much just to level.

There should be a 2” difference front to rear, but you want to measure the center of the hub or centercap to the bottom of the wheel well.

That looks very off. Looks like an old dodge roadrunner.

If you can, take a photo of the bottom spring perch on the front Shock, i will be able to tell you if they put the extra ring in there or not. If you want my cell number? Pm me if you’d like to text about it.

I can take better pictures and measurements tonight. I snip a picture from a video that I took last night. Not the best quality.

Look at this photo below, you can see a second ring. Try to take a photo like that.

I posted some photos above, try to get an angle like that. Also, from the distance from the X in Fox compared to mine, it doesn’t look like you have that second ring.

Alxmlr789,

Please see the below pictures. Would you agree the dealership didn't install the 2nd spacer per the TSB? This is very frustrating because I notified the dealer before the installed. Thoughts?

Also, Measurements from the center of the hub or centercap to the bottom of the wheel well are as follows:

Front: 22 3/4"
Rear: 26 3/4"

It doesn’t appear you have the TSB ring for the additional lift. As you can see in my photos, the bottom ring is exposed under the spring perch, which raises the spring via preload. Yours is not exposed, I’m 99% certain you only have one ring installed.

Pull up my photos and show the dealer. They need to make it right.

Actually, i see where your second spacer went.

After further inspection of your photos, it appears they put the second spacer ABOVE the spring perch. It needs to be under that spring perch for the additional lift. Geniuses!

If my thought it correct, you would be able to slide this ring up and down freely. See my attached photo.

EDIT: as you posted, it is part of the spring perch.

It's not the spacer. I tried moving it and it's solid and continuous with the piece below. It's the lower spring seat. I have attached a highlighted picture for reference. I will forward your picture and my picture to the dealership today. I'll let you know what they say...

Ok, that’s good. I stand corrected. Guess they aren’t that dumb lol.

Either way, i don’t think they used the second ring spacer looking at your photos.

 

[Micholder]

Correct. The Mopar lift plus offroad package springs will give you the look of the 3.5" lifts but much much better ride quality and all Mopar parts.

I am sure it has been posted somewhere in here, but does anyone have the Part #s for the Off-road Package Springs?

 

[wiendog]

I have checked with every dealer within 100 miles of sacramento ca. and no one will install the mopar lift unless you have a crew cab with the 5'7" bed. Believe me I have tried to get the mopar lift on my quad cab with the 6'4" bed.

I have just the 2 inch Mopar kit installed on my 2019 Quad Cab Laramie 4X4 yesterday at Shaver Dodge/Jeep in Thousand Oaks Ca.

 

[wiendog]

Does anyone here have this kit installed on a Quad Cab/6'4" bed? I'm looking to add the same kit to my truck (6'4" Quad) and I'm being denied PURCHASE of the kit just because of my VIN. Can anyone confirm that the kit does indeed work on the Quads?

Yes It can I just had it yesterday 2019 Quad Cab 6'4' bed 4X4

I had the 2" Mopar lift kit installed and also used the Off Road Springs to level out the front. Put 35in Nitto Ridge Grapplers and I love the way it looks. Issue is that the front end is really bouncy. Feels stiff as if something is maxed out and there is no room to expand. Had it installed at a dealership to try to keep it all in house, but they have no idea why its bouncy and say that's just what happens when I lift it. I went with this kit cause everyone on here says they loved they way it rode, so I know something must be off. Looking for help on where to go. I stopped by a local 4 wheel parts shop. They were pretty unfriendly since it wasn't their brand or a 6 inch lift, but all they could say was that the A arms angle look out of wack and that its probably the "aftermarket" springs.

Do you have the updated kit with the spacer and then on top of that you did the ORP/Rebel springs? If so then maybe you are over what it calls for.

The other issue is the sensors on the new tires and wheels. I ordered them from custom offsets, with the new sensors. The tires have 2 valve stems each. One as normal for the air, but there is another on the back side of the wheel. They seem to be too long cause the front wheels have started to shear off part of the valve stem. I am assuming it happens when I turn, somehow hitting the brake calipers or something. Custom Offsets has suggested I get shorter stems, but my dealer and local tire shop don't have them. Suggestions??
