2" Front / 1" Rear Truxx leveling kit on my 2011 QC with no issues (Fingers crossed). Didn't want to go with a 35" tire but definitely like the look of a full 4" lift.

Anyone done a 4 inch lift with factory size tires on 20 inch wheels? I'd love to see some pics to see if it looks appropriate.

It'd look pretty awkward and cheap...if you want a 4" lift just wait and get tires... I have the bilsteins set at 2.8" up front and a 1" rear spacer and it looks a little off w/ the stock tires and rims, kind of drives me nutts at times but not to bad. I'm waiting to burn a little more tread since my tires don't even have 30k on them. Plus I transfer for work this early summer, and would hate to get new tires and drive cross country . So I am waiting to get to my next unit then I'm downgrading from 20's to 17-18's w/ Nitto Terra/Trail Grapps.

I had the Mopar 2" Leveling Kit installed on my 2010 by dealership, with alignment. I immediately had the vibration. I can live with it, but still makes me mad that a part supplied by Mopar did this. I got through to the guys at Mopar here in Michigan and they said they had heard of no problems with the kit. They sent me to a local dealer to get looked at and they said it was normal, they gave me a tech bulletin that said "vibration during accleration from a stop is normal". I also had tie rod update completed; did not fix vibration.

mopar, rough country, bilsteins, TGC regardless of what brand you'll get the vibes...it's due to the high angles put on the CV joints.

I have been stationed at the same base for nearly 14 years.

On the other hand I am currently waiting to come home from my 6th tour in SWA...
