4" Factory lift from Mopar vs aftermarket lift. Pros and Cons?

my only Pro right now is its under warranty and stays under if Dealer lifts it.

Just wondered what ya'll think?

A factory "Mopar" lift is just a Superlift rebranded that you pay twice the money for. Personally I'd save your money and go with a Zone kit instead. Way cheaper in the long run and just as good of a kit. The lift itself will be covered by Zone's warranty and all things on your truck will still be covered unless it's proven to be the lift kits fault (which is unlikely).

Yep, Mopar doesn't make anything. They just put their name on other products.

I knew Mopar lifts were rebranded. I am thinking heavily on looking elsewhere but I will still have to go to the dealer to get the truck readjusted (speedo etc) right? It a 10k option on a new truck but they tell me half that for mine.

The wheels and tires and 4" kit are about 3300 parts alone. I know next to nothing about lifts but I know the guy who runs the local 4x4 shop and we dont see eye to eye heh I will have to look around and see if there is another shop nearby or at least within 50 miles.

Thanks for the input guys!

The dealership can only adjust the speedo up to a certain tire size. I forget what it is off the top of my head but I know it's smaller than a 35. So if that's what you're looking to go with you'll need to find another option besides the dealership. A Hypertech speedo calibrator or a tuner can do it for you.
