Why you shouldn't buy a MOPAR LIFT!

- Buying a lift is nerve-racking. Everyone has a favorite kit, well, not me. I built my own kit!
mopar kits are great to get those 37s on your jeep, but this is a must watch if you want to save money and gain performance!
I feel the mopar lift is way more stable even when towing in fact. Stiffer than factory one.
@alfreddoumtaz215 I asked both my lifts with less than 1,000 miles on both Gladiators, so I can't speak on stock driving too much. I could definitely tell the difference between the gas and diesel springs and the Fox vs. adjustable Falcons
@@rubiatoroutdoors I am sure the falcon are better.
@alfreddoumtaz215 it's a bit of an unfair comparison; adjustable Falcons vs fixed Fox. The Falcon steering stabilizer is amazing!
All the engineers at Fiat and at Chrysler and their fancy masters degrees and all of their combined decades of experience building cars ain’t got shit on you…
@@nautidad I wonder if they actually drive and use the vehicles as intended?
@@rubiatoroutdoors nah. They built the Chelsea testing ground for show. I’m sure they rely on fancy science do determine the correct parameters and optimal geometry for the vehicle type understanding it is still a road going vehicle, not a tractor. Jeep group occasionally throw parties in Moab, but I don’t think they made a rock crawling jeep yet in their 84 years of existence - beyond what Rubicon trial demands. Which makes economical sense for the business -Jeep is affordable for many budgets - not many drive theirs up steep cliffs.
I kinda trust OEM design and testing when it comes to suspension, breaks and overall geometry of a vehicle I put my kids into.
Honestly the Mopar lift isn't complete. The lower control arms aren't log enough for the height the springs give. Also you at least need a front adjustable trackbar to center the axle. I also put a rear adjustable trackbar on. I bought my Mopar lift on ebay for $850 originally
@BobLionel I have had two kits on two Gladiators for a combined 165k miles. Each set of tires lasted 75k miles. I have hit some of the hardest trails around the country, most of the time towing my RV or overland trailer across the country with me. In saying that, I have never had to adjust anything. Maybe lucky?!
do the diesel springs fit ok on the gas engine? did you need an adjustable track bar?
The springs are the same size, just heavier load. They fit exactly the same. The track bar is stock.
Do you know what the gas spring rate is vs the diesel?
@jabersulieman8211 I do not, but at one point, I found the difference in weight between the engines and that the springs offset that weight. I can tell you it rides much stiffer than the gas springs. It feels night and day better fully loaded. I put 80k on the gas springs, and now 72k on the diesel.
