Thank you, love this truck. Yes I do have the power steps. This is the colour I wanted, and I wanted a 6’4” bed, which was very hard to find. I don’t have 12” screen and sunroof, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. I do have the vented seats, which is very nice feature specially right now.
I am going for the same look as you, since the Mopar lift will give me 2” and the tires are almost 35”so I will end up with 4-4.5” lift after all. Good luck with selling your stuff.
Yeah the sunroof was something I really wanted, I have had sunroofs in most of my vehicles and this would be the second vehicle I have had that has had some type of PANO sunroof. I had an Enclave with a sunroof over the front driver/pass seats and the back seats to the trunk area was mostly all glass roof. Really makes a difference with lighting inside the car, especially in winter when it gets darker faster.
I noticed you don't have an exhaust system, if you are looking I mine will be going up for sale once the Borla is done. Everything is approved, I just need to arrange which shop is doing the work and off it goes to the shop for the Borla system. I'll probably sell it as a complete unit with all the factory piping as well since I will not need it anymore. I am going to ask for it all back so it will be like a hybrid cat back system between B2 stuff and factory piping. Your close enough so shipping wouldn't need to be done, I work in Toronto as well so even closer.
When you install the mopar 2" with orp springs you end up netting about 3.5 "of lift, something to keep in mind. For me it was the perfect amount of lift bc my wife is only 5'2" so a 6" lift was out of the question. It's all about what you prefer, it's your truck and you have to drive it everyday.
Yes that was in the back of my head, that is partly was persuaded we away from the Readylift kit. For the price I can get the Mopar lift & ORP springs for delivered from the US, I am paying about $700cad more BUT the CV angles will be proper and the warranty should still be intact. I was discussing with the eBay FCA dealer that I am going to get the kit from if I am going to have a problem with FCA when it comes to warranty should something happen. Parts purchased from a US FCA dealer and being installed by me or a FCA Canada Dealer. 2 different entities from the same company, just different countries. He said they have had Canadian vehicles at the shop before and it takes forever to get reimbursed the money from FCA Canada. Says FCA only really will do Recall work, warranty work is a PITA he says when it comes to vehicles from different country. Either way I'll take my chances saving $1000 that nothing will happen. If I buy from eBay I will be getting an official invoice form the FCA dealer, so it will be logged that these are legit parts from a legit FCA dealer.
I had thought about you when I was talking about the lift in one of the post I have had over the last few days. One of your post talked about the UCA being on the edge your comfort zone, when towing your boat. And I have ready many post about this. Where people are saying since the UCA is meant for the 2" kit, you are only going 1" beyond what the kit was intended for. So, are all the angles within acceptable range from a daily highway driver stand point and possibly a warranty stand point? UCA, CV, Ball joints all these moving parts, are the angles acceptable?
I've seen members comment that the kit doesn't say that it can't be used on vehicles with the ORP package already installed. So would it be fair to say that MOPAR is ok with the extra 1" when being installed on an ORP equipped truck?
So the Mopar 2" kit with the ORP will put you at 3.5" all around (more at the back if you got the ORP rear springs too I would assume, but then you end up with a rake again right?). My stock tires (Dueller H/T) are 31.9" in overall diameter, the Wrangler Duratrac 35" are 34.8" overall diameter so there is a 2.9" difference in tire size. So I suppose that means the Duratracs will add roughly 1.5" in height to the truck, am I thinking about this correctly?
So assuming all above is correct in my thinking. Does that mean I will have an overall height of 5" in lift? If this is true, are the CVs, UCAs, Ball-joints still going to be ok with that much life. I would think the extra 1.5" from the tires wouldn't affect the angles of the suspension like the acutal lift would.
1 more thing. I have read a few comments regarding stock rims (19mm offset I think) and 12.5 wide tires. I am not going to upgrade my rims as I like the factory rims, just about to have them powder coated satin black (same rims you have in your pictures on post #728). I see you have 35x11.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, do you think I will have a problem with the 35x12.5 Duratracs rubbing (again no off-roading, mostly pavement) they don't offer a smaller width in 35" tire for a 20" rim. If they do rub I guess I have 2 options, pick different tires or get 1.5 spacers and push my wheels out. Any suggestions?
