Jeep Wrangler 4-inch Lift Kit Now Available as a Factory-Developed Option

Back in March, we were reporting that Jeep prepared seven concept vehicles for an annual off-road event in Moab, Utah. The Jeep Chief Concept was without a shadow of a doubt the hottest of them all, but that dream machine isn’t today’s subject. In fact, the pictured Red Rock Responder Concept vehicle is.

The FCA US LLC-owned manufacturer enhanced the Wrangler-based Red Rock Responder with many off-road bits and bobs, including a 4-inch JPP lift kit. It took the brand nearly a month to spill the beans, but now is confirmed: Jeep Performance Parts will start taking orders for the factory developed lift kit in May.

Engineered in-house, the 4-inch kit trumps the 2-inch lift kit previously offered by the American automaker and it’s priced at $2,250. A word of warning though: only the 2007 to present four-door Jeep Wrangler is compatible with it. So what do you get for the money?

Staring with all the necessary installation brackets, the Jeep 4-inch lift-kit includes new springs, control arms, yoke, driveshaft and remote-reservoir shock absorbers. Of course, Jeep throws in lengthened brake lines and a high-steer conversion kit as well.

If you’re planning on venturing off the beaten path in the most hardcore landscapes imaginable, then you may be interested in some optional enhancements. Other than bolt-in Dana 60 axles and, naturally, HD brakes lifted from a Ram 3500 heavy-duty pickup truck.

With roughly $10,000 worth of equipment including labor costs, you'll get yourself a 4x4 that can really climb every mountain and ford every stream.
