Here's my opinion. Don't pay 4xs as much for an already installed "mopar" lift.

Buy the truck you want with more installed options.. Then buy the 4" or 6" superlift kit (the lift mopar puts their name on) for a quarter of the price (roughly $1500)

Edit: now noticing you already have the truck, just listen to the part about "don't".

IMO

The Mopar 2" lift kit is a rebranded Superlift lift kit. The Superlift kit uses rebranded shocks from Bilstein. So, if you want a 2" lift, you can go your own way and buy the Bilstein shocks and Superlift rear springs. IIRC the Mopar kit is about $1000. You can get all 4 Bilstein 5100 shocks from Jet.com for $250 to $300 (depending on the level of discount from Jet) and the Superlift 140 rear springs from Summit Racing for about $133.

A picture of my truck with Bilstein 5100 shocks, front and rear. The front shocks are set at 2.8" lift (the maximum setting). The rear Bilsteins do not lift, so the rear is lifted via Superlift 140 springs.

Thanks an ik That's wat has me asking I called the dealer today after looking into the zone lift in detail to ask about the warranty they said an after market lift would void the warranty on any parts that were related to the lift in any way. But there Mopar lift doesn't void the warranty tho it costs 4200$ installed that's why I was looking for opinions

I'm wondering how you could tell the difference between a superlift and the rebranded mopar. Do they put new s/n on them? A sticker?

I just go to the cummins forum now. I haven't done anything to it besides a 6"tip. Thinking bumpers will be next. It's awesome though, wish I got a cummins to begin with instead of dumping all that money in a 1500.

BS< Factory, not the dealer, warranties teh truck. Federal Law dictates that teh facotry must PROVE, teh after-market product failed to live up to OEM standards.

In this case, super lift and Bilsteins is what the OEM rebrands so there woudl be no possible way, other then impromper installation, for any warranty denial.
