AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
July 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
- New Jeep® Wrangler lift kit available now; new Jeep
Gladiator lift kit arrives later this summer
For enthusiasts looking to further enhance the off-road
capability of their Jeep® Wrangler or Gladiator, Mopar and Jeep
Performance Parts (JPP) are introducing new specifically tuned
2-inch lift kits for EcoDiesel-powered Jeep models.
"Our comprehensive Jeep portfolio includes more than 500
factory-engineered, quality-tested, off-road performance parts and
accessories," said Mark Bosanac,
Head of Mopar Service, Parts and
Customer Care, FCA – North
America. "At Mopar, we'll continue to fill our catalog with
ultra-capable, factory-backed features that resonate with Jeep
fans."
Both lift kits are validated to OEM specs in order to manage the
increased vehicle curb weight and to deliver heightened ground
clearance and higher approach/departure angles needed for larger
tires. Specific features include:
- Suspension articulation is increased 18 percent from stock for
enhanced off-road vehicle capability
- Larger 2.5-inch-diameter (versus 2-inch-diameter stock)
aluminum-body FOX monotube shock absorbers are specifically tuned
for increased weight capacity, durability and cooling during
off-road conditions
- Springs are specifically tuned for the diesel-engine
application, which optimizes the dynamic performance in all on- and
off-road driving conditions
- Longer front lower control arms (versus stock control arms)
offer ideal caster settings, while unique heavy-duty bushings
provide improved vehicle control and assist with suspension
articulation
- Direct bolt-on kit requires no drilling, cutting or
welding
Each JPP lift kit includes four springs, four FOX shocks, front
lower control arms, front and rear stabilizer links, front and rear
bump stops, various fasteners and JPP badge, all packaged in a
custom, reusable wooden crate with the JPP logo.
The JPP Wrangler lift kit (Part #: 77072399AE) is available for
purchase now, while the new JPP Gladiator lift kit (Part #:
77072469AC) will be available in late summer. The manufacturer's
suggested retail price (MSRP) for each kit is $1,495.
When oversize tires (33 inches in diameter and larger) are
installed, the Mopar Vehicle Protection (MVP) Custom Calibration
option reconfigures the vehicle speedometer and odometer
calibrations for accurate gauge readings. The available option has
an MSRP of $125.
Factory Warranty
Standard Mopar accessory warranty
coverage for both lift kits includes two years/unlimited miles from
date of purchase or up to the remainder of the new vehicle's
warranty of three years/36,000 miles.
MVP also offers optional, additional lift kit coverage when
combined with a purchase of one of the mechanical plan warranty
offerings. Plan terms range from 5-8 years and up to 125,000 miles
for new vehicles. Please visit your nearest FCA dealership for
additional information.
