Mopar 2 inch lift 77070088 - with Fox Shocks

jcinaz · Nov 12, 2014

Anyone installed this exact kit? Quadratech says it has only been in their system since late last month. Local dealer says it is an old part number. I have not heard back from Mopar yet.

It is listed in the newer Performance Catalog that is pretty new. Uses FOX Racing Shox 2.0 Performance Series IFP shocks.

I plan on using AEV brackets not the caster bolts.

If so can you share how much lift change you got? Do you like it so far?

I know everyone likes AEV and I almost went that route but I am not going bigger than 33 tires (pizza cutters) and really like the idea of a 2 inch lift. I also considered RockKrawler but want to keep as much stock as possible, so Mopar has a great draw and at the price looks good for what you get.

My 2014 JK has the 10A or X bumpers on it so they are light and I do not want more than 2-2.5 lift.

Thanks.

The Mopar 2" lift has been out there for awhile, but not the 2" lift you are referencing. This is the new catalog and it definitely says a new Mopar 2" lift with springs and Fox Shocks.

This catalog was published in 2014... so it is the latest.

Thanks m998dna, I did see it in the catalogue. Thanks for the reply.

jcinaz · Nov 17, 2014

Well I thought I would add some more info for those that may be searching for more details on this lift.

I called Mopar and they pointed out that this is a Mopar part number now 77070088 unlike the other Performance part numbers that start with a P such as the other, maybe older 2 inch lift P5156116. So I was told this is a brand new lift that has been developed by Mopar.

I also found a short write up here about the new lift -
Jeep Confronts the Aftermarket Head-on With New Mopar Parts - Kelley Blue Book

For the price and that it is, and a true Mopar lift I am going to try it. I am still interested if anyone else has installed one yet. Quadratec said I was the first to order it from them. My local shop could not beat their price, but can get Mopar parts pretty cheap which was interesting.

I will update when I receive it and get it installed.

tarioqi · Jan 21, 2015

How do you compare it with P5156117 kit that also comes with the Fox shocks and with steering stabilisers and track bar. Which one is better to use?

I ordered this one and i am confused now.

Destroyer6 · Nov 18, 2014

My parts guy at the dealer said this was coming out soon but he didn't have any info on it, thanks for the info!

m998dna · Nov 23, 2014

We should be thanking you for the nice view in your avatar!

TxJprs · Nov 30, 2014

jcinaz, looking forward to pictures and write up.

Original_Junior · Dec 3, 2014

Any updates on this yet? I'm impatiently awiting the results of this kit

I just ordered this kit this morning from Quadratec. I spoke to them after I placed the order and they said they actually order the kit from a local Mopar dealer and it takes them about a week to get in so I should have it in a couple of weeks. Interesting because when I called my own local Jeep dealer they said the 2" kit was discontinued. Maybe this new kit wasn't in their system yet.

Will report back after it's installed.

I was on the fence between this and the TeraFlex 2.5" kit but the Fox shocks really swayed me. I'm going to be running 33" Trail Grapplers w/ AEV bumpers so I think this should be the perfect amount of height.

jcinaz · Dec 9, 2014

Good Ol Ebay, no other site has a picture of this kit except Ebay. I picked up my big Jeep box yesterday late after having it on will call at the trucking yard. I have not opened it yet, I know, I was very busy yesterday. It looks just like this pick. I will be taking my time doing the install so tbizness may beat me to it, but I will take pics when I can.

Ebay picture is at this listing - http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/181597847505?lpid=82

x2.. Store the old parts or convert to toy box for your kids..

You all who have the kit installed at your dealer, what do they do with the wooden Jeep logo crate?

Toss it into the back of your Jeep. Its yours, you paid for it.

Toss it into the dumpster out back. Its just "worthless" packing material.

Toss it into the back of their Durango. Its worth a few extra bucks on eBay.

TxJprs · Dec 9, 2014

jcinaz, any scoop on those springs would be great. As in any indication of who might be making them or did Jeep/Mopar actually have them produced themselves. Also, the extended length on those shocks would be great. I am thinking they will be 25".

jcinaz · Dec 9, 2014

TxJprs, I will when I can.

Also to anyone interested in this lift, note in the pics that what you get vs the Quadratec list of parts included is totally off.

Also note the picture above is not from my box but from the Ebay seller. I do not expect mine to be different. With the drive shaft and shocks though it is a pretty cool lift. I also ordered the Rubicon required longer front sway bar links and AEV Geometry Correction Front Control Arm Brackets.

m998dna · Dec 10, 2014

Is that a front or rear shaft?

.

ocd_dave · Dec 9, 2014

Anyone know how much this would cost in labor to install, if the dealer did the work?

Original_Junior · Dec 10, 2014

Steve White Motors quoted $495 I recall. I have it in another post I started on this lift.

kjeeper10 · Dec 10, 2014

I saw that kit in a SEMA post. Not sure the reason for a driveshaft at 2" though.

Possibly TF coils ? I know they make other kits/parts for Mopar.

m998dna · Dec 10, 2014

The length indicates possibly the rear shaft.. replacing that huge drive shaft made from beer cans.

Potatohead · Dec 10, 2014

Doesn't make sense, it should be the front shaft.

Quick update on my Quadratec order. Called this morning and they said my kit should be in Tuesday next week. More importantly I noticed they raised the price from $1,000+$100 shipping (what I paid) to $1,500+$100 shipping. They said it's the same kit - I just happened to score a very good deal because they didn't update the price on their site for this new kit. We'll see...

For anyone else looking to order, at this point it's cheaper to get the kit on eBay with faster shipping like jcinaz did vs. ordering from Quadratec who just places a 7-10 day lead time order with a local Jeep dealer.

Original_Junior · Dec 11, 2014

Thinner drive shaft so you won't need exhaust spacers?

m998dna · Dec 11, 2014

the front shaft is the issue on 12-15 jk's as it contacts the exhaust.

Ahh... yes. I forgot.

applejacks · Dec 11, 2014

I have the Mopar 3" lift that I got with my JKU this summer. I love the 3" lift, the only thing I added was a Synergy front track bar. I test drove a JKU with the previous Mopar lift that used the Bilstein shocks and the Fox setup rides much nicer. The lift I have is basically the 3" Teraflex kit (Teraflex makes the Mopar kit). I think the big thing they changed is including a drive shaft instead of exhaust spacers. I wonder if the dealer will trade me??

Edit: Just took a look, the kit that is pictured in the catalog that was linked to above is EXACTLY what I have.

jadmt · Dec 11, 2014

any way to get the part number on the front drive shaft? I wonder what the would cost as a stand alone item?

Potatohead · Dec 12, 2014

Can probably get it in the aftermarket cheaper, I'd be very surprised if it's an actual Mopar unit and not built for them.

TxJprs · Dec 12, 2014

On 2012+ once you exceed about 24.5'' of shock extension up front the factory drive shaft will hit the exhaust crossover and the factory shaft was not designed for those angles anyway. After market front shafts (1310,1350) address both of these concerns. If they are including the shaft I am betting those are Fox 25" extended shocks. Rear shaft is not an issue on JK's. At least not until you get much higher than 2".

jcinaz · Dec 17, 2014

Sorry I have been away from the forum for so long, I have had a crazy week personally.

I did open my "Jeep Crate" and the drive shaft is a 1310 front. Keep in mind this is a double Cardan unit. I want to believe it is a Tom Woods but have no idea. I love that it comes with this drive shaft. Of course the literatur says that it can flex as good as some 4 inch lifts. We'll see about that.

The shocks do measure about 25 inches extended. I took a picture next to a ruler if anyone is interested.

I looked at the springs but cannot tell who made them. I forgot to measure them with the tape measure when I had them out.

The only thing I was surprised by was the individual parts are not wrapped, they are just in the box. After sending them in this great crate I would have expected the small items to be wrapped. The crate is oversize so I suspect we will see more things maybe lifts that can fit into it.

Tomorrow I hope to scan the Owners manual for all to see. It is pretty scarce with the basic overview of install. For me it was really helpful to view a Tom Woods Install video to get an idea of how to install the shaft right.

m998dna · Dec 17, 2014

JC... is there a Mopar PN on the drive shaft?

.

jcinaz · Dec 17, 2014

Oh, and I did see as a previous poster said they raised the price at Quadratec, but the discription is still wrong. I called them on it as soon as I opened mine to give them the heads up their description is wrong. So glad I got it on the goofed price.

ScarletVarlet · Dec 18, 2014

I hope those who are installing this kit measure how much actual lift they get (before and after measurements at front and rear.) Thanks

devnull · Dec 18, 2014

I will have these measurements tomorrow for you. We had this kit done on my wife's JKUHR and below are some quick pics. Looks more than 2" to me and the on road driving difference is pretty big. Considerably stiffer feel (in a good way), much less front dive, and hey the box looks great in the garage haha...

Pics:

My STOCK HEIGHT black JKUHR is dwarfed now behind this one haha

Good front shot of the two next to each other...

The need for new wheels and larger tires has been highlighted

devnull · Dec 18, 2014

ScarletVarlet · Dec 18, 2014

Looks very good!

Forgettable1 · Dec 18, 2014

does this kit do anything to move the rear axle a lil further back?

ScarletVarlet · Dec 18, 2014

As it doesn't replace the rear drive shaft I can't see how that would happen. For that matter I think there's a few more suspension parts necessary to do that.

Why is it necessary to move the center of the rear axle back?

Av8tor2 · Dec 18, 2014

Don't know if I want that or the Stage 3 one. But seeing on your JKUHR makes you go HUMMM

m998dna · Dec 18, 2014

It appears it nets more than 2" ... probably 3" in front and 1" in rear.

Averages 2"..

I like the stance and its really the perfect height... made for 34x11s.

Need a report on dampening.
