North Coast, not many people on here know that you're a dealer.

Is there any chance you might be a little biased?

Zander ask the people that do know me and they will all tell you the same thing, that if I think a product is shit then I will tell you how it is, regardless of who I have worked for if I haven't liked a product then I won't sell it to you.

Check out my Ride(s)
Default Re: Need a clarification on the Mopar 2" lift

I too have heard people say the ride is fine. However they were in a much heavier set up vehicle. Lovells rated the springs as heavy duty for a four door CRD for a reason and they should never have been sold for a two door petrol.

After a few thousand k's I was told in no uncertain terms either the springs went of the Jeep went.

As fir flex I have a video of me following a similar 2door on the same rutted hill. Me with the mopar springs and sway bar disconnected and the other with arb springs and sway bar still connected. I had less flex....

Sent automatically by my stupid phone while I was busy working. Honest boss....

From personal experience even in a 4 door CRD with front and rear bars and a winch up front (all up about 2.4 tonne) it was still way to harsh and will be replaced in the next month.

But again, just personal preference I guess....

As the saying goes "Opinions are like @rs*hol*s, everyone has one", however if the majority of those opinions are negative then one would assume the product they related to is not worth the effort and should look elsewhere.

I have just bought my second JK in a row and all I can say is read what you are signing up to, never assume and check the part numbers and/or the detailed list of what you are getting. I added the MOPAR rims, Snorkel and tow bar and had them listed seperatly on the contract and not just as inlcuded as you will need to be bale to detail your accessories and the part numbers to insurance to get the right coverage.

Also I have driven NCW rig with the MOPAR lift and it was fine, I found my PPM 3" lift very stiff but others liked it? Again it what suits you as the owner and not what other people think about the kit on your rig
