So I’m at the dealer today for some routine maintenance and started a conversation about lifts and any advice or recommendations based on issues he’s seen come in the shop.
He told me don’t lift your Wrangler or add bigger tires. It will change the geometry and stress the driveline causing lots of problems up to and including failed axels.
So I asked if they installed Mopar lifts and if so so do the same concerns exist. He said it was a factory lift designed to address concerns with the driveline and wouldn’t recommend any 3rd party lifts. Since I’m out of warranty (2013 JKUS) I asked if he’d seen any issues with the Teraflex 2.5 coil/shock lift I’m planning. He repeated his statement and said “Do it at your own risk”.
So my question to all with Teraflex and AEV lifts: have you experienced any driveline catastrophes? Is this just the dealer being cautious based on seeing too many failures from shoddy work?
Any add-on’s you would recommend in addition to the lift kit to reduce driveline stress?
