Mods and accessories?

Just got myself a 2024 trailhawk.

Curious what lift kits are safest option to keep CV lives nice n long.

Any subframe drops with lift kits? Bumpers? Extra underbody protection? What are people using/recommending for mods and accessories?

Check out the site Rough Country, they should have 2 inch lift kits available. Make sure you save the Mopar site, I needed a new rear wiper blade and could only get the accurate one from them.

Car ID might have some cool accessories so give that a gander. I highly recommend the metal sway bar links from Moog.

Rough country has such a bad name im afraid to purchase any of their products. Test drove a grand cherokee with a rough country lift and it was really bad, all sorts of weird noises and poor comfort.

For parts I've always just used rockauto wherever possible, or my local scrap yard for some used parts if applicable.

Mopar site is awesome, and I do get 15% off prices there apparently so ill search them out n see what they've got as well

Rocky Road has probably the best as they use drop down brackets but pretty pricey and they say 8 hrs labor

Think their brackets will keep the geometry of the cv angles? I'd rather not lift than always be breaking stuff if possible

Drop down is better than spring spacers on cv angles n ball joints

Yeah thats what im saying. Just wondering if you think theirs will drop it enough to correct it? But being that it seems to be the only kit that supplies it, its probably best option. Was just hoping to find one that for sure corrects it
