mopar coils have been redesigned by their supplier, Lovells, as they were indeed having issues with their coils.

Honestly the ONLY reason you would pick the Mopar lift is because it is dealer supported. If you are out of warranty or a bit savvy there's better lifts around.


I was very close to going the Mopar coils but decided to go with Suspension Stuff's new Ultra Flexy coils and I am very pleased with the results.

here is how it sits:

From bottom lip of flare to bottom lip of the rim (not the rounded tyre side but the square edge of the rim facing upwards).

RHR: 800mm
RHF: 790mm
LHR: 810mm
LHF: 800mm


It has a slight nose down stance but you don't see it in this pic due to the ground being flat. Could do with 10mm spacers on the RHS if you cared....I don't think i do. I think if i had the back seats in and the hardtop on it would sit a tad lower.



There's the coils. They are tapered wire and wound progressively. They sit an inch or so longer than the original springs which means they don't fall out with longer style shocks.

But yeh, these springs will be available in just about any lift height you want and be available for both V6 and CRD....exactly what we've been needing!


Articulation pictures will be posted when I get my new shocks.
