Hi everyone! Has anyone actually lifted their 4xe yet and if yes what brand/lift/tires did you end up doing? Mopar only goes 2" for the lift kit "approved" for the 4xe, my Jeep guy has concerns going 37's and a 2in lift on the Sahara version I'm getting. I want to go 3.5-4in lift with 37's but having trouble finding lift kits that say they will work with 4xe. For example Fabtech specifically says theirs is NOT compatible with the 4xe. Curious if anyone has investigated further.
Appreciate posts here once you successfully lifted your 4xe!
i talked at length to Teraflex last week. They got all three flavors of the 4xe delivered earlier in the week so they can run tests on them. The rubicon is the heaviest, with steel bumpers, bigger brakes and more likely to get a winch, lights, bigger tires, etc. The issue is the spring rates and the shock settings for the heavier weights, all the rest of the parts will be the same.
‘I’m going with a 2.5” CT2 Teraflex lift and their proprietary shocks. The CT2 has adjustable control arms, so all the axle and driveshaft geometries can be restored to factory specs. I’m getting a Rubicon and with this suspension lift you can easily run 35”, with the Rubicon 4.10 ratio. You can run 37” in the Rubi, with this lift, but may have to then increase the ratio in your rear end to handle the bigger tires.
‘if you have a Sahara, you will definitely have to have your rear differential modified to handle the 37”’s. add several hundred $$ to the Bill.
