Open the FAQ's stickied to the top of this modified area. In the Suspension section, you will find the 'recommended' components for various lift heights. Note that the TF 2.5" coils will put your unlimited right at 3" actual lift height.

You do not need or should do a drop pitman for a 2.5" lift. Our 2.5" kits include rear brake line extension brackets.

Actually my dealer recommended me a Teraflex lift. They installed it and it does not void my warrantee... They are also willing to install me a CAI, TBS and Sprint Booster... They will also re-gear it... I love this dealer. These guys will just empty all my pockets

Default Lift

It's the Dealer that Can stand behind the Morpar lift not Chrysler. Chrysler will not void warranty of other parts when their lift is installed by the Dealer. So if lift fails it's you and the Dealer 5yrs 36000 miles. Anything else it's Chrysler 5yrs 36000 miles. The Dealer can warrant the lift any way they want or not at all it's up to the Dealer. The Dealer can sell the lift for about $1275.00

Thank you for all your reply's, I am thinking about going for a TeraFlex 2.5" lift this time, next is shipping it to Brunei.

Any suggestions on the shipping weight of the kit?

Cheers,

Mark

I hate to break it to you but your dealer lied to you. They may service and repair what they install, but they cannot force Chrysler to do the same. Do yourself a favor and get your dealer to put something in writing. It won't help you against Chrysler, but it might help you against the dealer should something bad happen down the road.

I'm not calling you out, but I believe this information is incorrect. The lift is considered a Mopar Performance Part. Damage caused to OEM parts by Mopar Performance parts is expressly NOT covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Sorry for the blurry screenshot, but I think Mopar's own Performance Parts Catalog explains the warranty (or lack thereof) the best.

This is C&P'd directly from Mopars Performance catalog. Page 2, terms & conditions.

"NO PARTS WARRANTY – “AS IS”
Mopar Performance parts beginning with a “P” prefix are sold “as is” unless otherwise noted. This means that parts sold by Mopar Performance carry no warranty whatsoever. Implied warranties, such as warranties of merchantability, are excluded. (An implied warranty of merchantability means that the part is reasonably fit for the general purpose for which it was sold). The entire risk as to quality and performance of such parts is with the buyer. Should such parts prove defective following their purchase, the buyer and not the manufacturer, distributor or retailer, assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing or repair. Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep® vehicle and parts warranties are voided if the vehicle or parts are used for competition. The addition of performance parts does not by itself void a vehicle’s warranty. However, added performance parts (parts not originally supplied on the vehicle from the factory) are not covered by the vehicle’s warranty, and any failure that they may cause is also not covered by the vehicle’s warranty."

So any thoughts on installing a MOPAR lift (the good, bad and ugly)? I like that the lift is OME and doesn't VOID the warrantee (allegedly) I will be running 305-70-R16's Yokohama's on Procom's.

I like the 2.5" TeraFlex lift as well but the kit at Q doesn't come with all I need so probably will spend in the end the same as a MOPAR lift....
I used the Mopar lift when I did my JKUR build. What would you like to know?

I had the mopar lift installed by the dealer thinking it would be warrentied. But guess what after 13 months the stabilizer went and the stealer wanted $400 to replace a 50 dollar stabilizer as the 12 month parts only warrenty expired. Do yourself a favor and save a ton of money which you can put towards new tires
