Dealer lifts

spencevans · **Posted:** Mon May 08, 2006 5:27 pm

My KJ came with a lift from the dealer when I purchased it brand new. Anyone have any idea on what type of lift I have. Does DCX use a specific lift kit or does the dealer just choose the cheapest thing on the market?

rocky road claims that dealers have been using there budget lifts for years now, is it a spacer lift or coils and all that good stuff, should be easy to tell
,just my 2 cents

I bought my KJ already lifted....sitting on the show room floor.
They had installed the daystar...........relatively inexpensive way to go.....

I have heard of dealers installing the 1.5" OME lift

By the responses here, it could be anything. Schaumbueg Jeep near me uses Rusty's spacer kit I believe.

I think it's a daystar myself because it is a CRD.

Well, what does it look like? If it has red spacers then most likely it is a Daystar. If not, then it could be anything.

hot darn.. they are installing lifts at the dealers.. and if I install one my self I run the risk of voiding my warrenty?

Sounds like it could be anything. Guess you'd have to go ask the dealer next time you drive by.

As an aside...... the dealer near me had a brand new lifted 06 Rubicon with a 4" lift & Warn Winch and aftermarket bumper in the show room and large MTR'S - - - I was curious and asked. They told me a shop near by called Rock-Crawler did it. Didn't think to ask what lift it was- - but because it came from the dealer doesn't mean that they actually did it I guess. That's another question to ask them. Check your paperwork also as I would think it should say and they'd have to warranty it..

The dealer is standing behind the lift by giving it a full warranty. Other dealers won't touch it, so I have to drive to Salt Lake to have any suspension problems fixed. It kind of a pain because it's around 180 miles round trip.

Which dealer is it? And what type of problem are you having?

spencevans · **Posted:** Tue May 09, 2006 7:32 pm

D'ambrosio on State in Salt Lake. Just lots of squeeks, rattles, clunks, bangs, crunches etc.. Last time the fixed it I didn't here a squeek or rattle for about a month but since taking adventures to Little Moab and real Moab the demons have returned. So looks like I'll pay a visit to the dealer next week.

Interesting... I just took my 02 Liberty to the Larry Miller Dealership to look into a possible front differential problem and the service manager said he would never lift a Liberty. He said "Just look at the severe angle of the CV's". He also told me a new set of halfshafts are $1400.00 to replace. :shock:

By the way, my lift is a Frankenlift.
