Updated 2" Mopar Lift/Level Kit - Discussion

[abrink41]

You will get an additional 2" of lift on top of your offroad package. Stacking your lift on top of the ORP will give you 3" total lift over a truck like mine (all stock...no ORP and no lift).

Curious - how does the Off Road Package give the 1" of lift? Do you think 3" of total lift would be ok? Affect driving, etc..

You get the extra inch from the longer ORP spring. I have a total of 3.25" in front and 2" in back, all is good. ORP springs will stiffen the ride a bit more.

I have the same, didn’t noticed much in terms of stiffness but I also drive race karts and race cars, so pretty numb to bumps. Rides much better than my lifted GMC though.

Thank you guys for all of your comments. I ordered a Laramie with the ORP and never got a chance to drive one with that configuration. I drove the Rebel and the Limited with air suspension. I didn't want the complexity of the air suspension, but I'm hoping the ORP has a good ride!

What is everyone’s fender height after installation without ORP shocks and stock 18 wheels?
I’m 38 1/2 in front and 41 in back. I’m presuming they may have installed the lift wrong.

New to the group and wanted to say this thread has been a plethora of knowledge! Some really great info in here. I traded my 18 DSRT in on a new 2021 Laramie Sport a month ago for my wife and she is loving it. I just picked up the 2" Mopar kit from dealershirp yesterday and they are quoting me $1,220 for installation and another $540 for a calibration they say i will need in order to run bigger tires. Has anyone heard of this calibration they speak of? Personally I think they are Cracked! I don't see this being more than a 6 hour job with the proper tools and knowledge. Also I checked with another local dealer and they quoted me 960 out the door with alignment and had no clue about a calibration.

@DSBUD4U they are talking about calibrating your speedo for the new tire size. This will.allow your speed/mileage and shifts points to be correct. Its not required, but it does help. You can buy a calibrator and do it for yourself.

I payed 1995 + tax for all parts labor and alignment... I don’t think they calibrated my truck.

I payed 1180 for my kit with a coupon. 1995 with labor and alignment isn't horrible in comparison.

Do you have a recommendation on which calibrator to use?

Rough country if you can find one is the cheapest, that's what I used.

 

[Midnight1988]

I didn’t run one and most truck computers are good enough now to update its own system without recalibrating. Just depends on if your lift and tires are drastically larger than stock.

Checked their website and says nothing is available for the 2021. Do you know if the one for the 19 works?

Best speedometer recalibration tool

Looking for some insight on what is the best speedometer recalibration tool. I have looked at the rough country and the superchip version. There’s $100 difference in price. Anyone used the superchip? Any issue with the rough country tool?

1220 for install is crazy and the calibration is a crock of sh**. 960 for install is about average and very reasonable.

Has anyone measured the overall height increase (from the roof or antenna) after the lift and new tires?

I have about 4" to spare in height going into my garage right now. I'd love to go with the 2" MOPAR and 285/55/22s, but I feel like I'll be cutting things awfully close. Any reference points from the lift with other tire combos would be extremely appreciated!

I still fit in my local car wash with 7 ft clearance. My shark fin clears the bar by 2 inches. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

How do you like that size tire on the truck? I’m back and forth with what size to get? Any pics?

‘19 Laramie with 2” Mopar and Falken 295/60r20. My garage is 6’8”. Truck fits, but less than 1” clearance (just eying it). Snow drifts against the garage door are beyond my comfort level.
