Nope and nope.

Stock wheel/tire will work like it does stock. IF you went with a wider tire even a little then yes I would suggest spacers.

Second "nope" is somewhat a loader response... Stock drivelines will work just fine but.... it's is always smart to upgrade them.

I'm on a 3.5 or is it 4" lift.. anyhoo, still running stock drivelines and have NO problems AND I wheel almost every weekend. My tires are 12.50 wide and running spacers. The fronts rub at full lock.

I believe you will be good to go with what you want to do...

On the Mopar 2" lift you will either want to replace the front drive shaft, or remove the tranny skid if you have an auto. This kit does have enough droop that they will come into contact.

You'd be cheaper buying the TeraFlex lift. The MOPAR lift is just a rebadged Rubicon Express lift.

If it's the superlift that they have rebadged, I have it and it has worked well for me. I liked that it came with real bumpstops rather than extensions. The stock shocks limit your flex a bit but all in all for the price, it does what I needed it to do.

I wheeled Moab with it, including triple whammy and steel bender and didn't have a problem once, but I sure could see the flex difference with my buddies who had kits that came with new shocks, especially on the golden crack.

It was good to get me thru the first six months, but I'm upgrading to the AEV 3.5" and 35s, in fact they are on order.

I read the 2 inch lift is the rebadged Superlift while the Mopar 4 inch lift is the Rubicon Express?

I just want a mild lift with springs, no spacers/blocks
You're right. I made that mistake once before and confused the two. That being said, a budget boost from TeraFlex would be cheaper and yeild the same results. Any reason you're wanting to go with the MOPAR kit? And don't say "warrenty".

You make a valid point. I've not seen any 2" kits that came with replacement coils. I don't know if you get away without either new rims or spacers if you plan to off road it. What are they asking for the MOPAR kit?

I just want a 2 inch spring lift and I want to avoid buying new rims and drive shafts for my 2 door 6 speed manual tranny. This is the only kit I found with the all in one kit

Since you have a 6 speed you should be fine running stock shaft and wheels with either this kit, or the Teraflex 2.5" spring kit. If you had an auto you would want to remove your tranny skid with the Mopar kit, or replace the front shaft.

The TeraFlex 2.5" kit is about the most complete coil kit on the market. There are good kits out there cheaper but not as complete. Reguardless of which way you go it will be better than the MOPAR kit.

x2, Can't go wrong with the Tera 2 inch coil spring kit.
