Has anyone lowered the rear of the mopar lift to 1.5 block? If so, did you get rid of the trackbar relocation bracket?

As noted above newer kit ends in "AB". Dealers are extremely slow on finding this info. Mopar will also be releasing a 2" rear drop (level) soon.
I’ve called the dealership and advised I want the “AB” but they only have the part # ending in 2424 without any designation. As it is a special order, there are no returns. Is there any way for them to add a note in the order to assure the “AB” arrives or any other useful info to ensure the correct part is ordered? Thanks!!

No there is no way to add a note the parts guys just need to know what they are doing. Fox is also aware of new kit so its possible to order.

I have the RC 2" level kit and I'm looking at getting 22x12 rims with a -44 offset. I really want 35" ridge grapplers but the local shop keeps telling me to go with 33s. What fender modification am i looking at, just fender trimming or more? Thanks

Hello everyone. I am considering this kit, but really I just want to level the truck. Front lift only. Is there another similar kit that does that or just get this kit and dont add the rear spacers? I already have new wheels and tires and really dont want to get new tires. Thanks

The most popular seems to be the Readylift 2" with Upper Control Arms. It's a $530 kit just to level the front, however it doesn't include different shocks. But you honestly don't need them. The UCA will help maintain the factory ride with this level. Just avoid the spacer only kits, the ride will be too harsh on those.

The Readylift kit is also compatible with the Rebel coil spring trucks, while the Mopar kit is not.

Thank you for that information. I will look into that one. I do want to change the shocks though. Ive had great experiences with fox shocks.

Hi all. I just went into my dealer to order the Mopar/Fox lift kit and have them install. The woman at the desk said it wasn’t available for my truck. Huh?? I have a 2019 1500 Big Horn. Conventional suspension, not air ride, with the 6.4 bed. She called Mopar and confirmed. Said it was a bed length issue and only available for the short bed? How does that make sense?

I’ve never had much faith in my dealerships service dept but anyone have any thoughts?
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.

Any reason why you cannot diy? Or find a local off road shop, not 4 Wheel Parts, to do the install?

I was thinking of that, and I still might but I have already had the ready lift 3.5 installed. I still may have someone else swap out the ready lift for the mopar, just because, and this is my own personal opinion, the CV joint angles seem a little extreme to me, even though RL and the dealers service guy in charge of suspension says that the angles are fine.

I just talked to my Service Department about getting the MOPAR 2" lift installed. They will not install a lift that is purchased from elsewhere. The total price "out the door" for parts and labor is $2387.00. That is ridiculous. They said it is an 8 hour labor charge plus the lift kit and alignment.

Call another dealer, 8 hours is a bit mouth for that kit, even front and rear.

Looks good. You might want to update your signature with the details of your truck and Mods. This will help others to identify what you have without them needing to constantly ask you questions. With that in mid.......what is your tire size?

My dealer was going to charge me 600 for the install. I ended up doing the install myself. I got the lift off of eBay for 900. So yes that does seem extreme. I was told it was a 4 hour job. If you have another dealer in town, I would give them a ring and compare. Also not a hard job to do yourself honestly.
