As noted in a previous thread, here's the thread for the Mopar Suspension Lowering Kit. The part # is 77072328 and cost is $275.00.
My experience so far: Called local dealer and they had no clue. They referred me to Chrysler. Decided to call SRT and they had no clue. They transferred me over to the Mopar Tech Line. They also had no clue. They were going to look into it further and call me back. No word yet from them.
SRTGH has received some info. His Jeep dealer said that the drop was 1.6"F/2.0"R.
If that info is correct, that's a pretty aggressive drop in the front. Similar to Road Magnet's drop kit of 1.8"F/2.8"R.
I would imagine that a set of four springs from a dealer would cost more than $275.
It would be great if somebody else could get a dealer to confirm the pricing and drop specs.
I am leaning towards the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 295/40 on stock 20" rims so I am thinking this drop would be fine but I would be curious what other people think.
SRTGH - My dealer confirmed the price but had no spec info. I don't know if I can go that low with my winter set up of 275/45 x 20 (Hakkas). It's a taller wheel than the 295/40 and it may rub. I may have to go with the Eibach kit.
I double checked with my dealer and he is standing by the 1.6"F and 2.0"R. He confirmed it on his parts website. I guess we may need Eibach to confirm if they supply them.
According to Eibach, the install time is 1.5 hours per axle.
I work for a jeep dealer had a customer call about this issue and seen that no one would either help or try to help with figuring out the size of the drop so i went ahead and did some research and i just got off the phone with mopar specifying and they told me that part number 77072328 drops the front 3/4'' and 1'' rear. I hope this clears up all the issues for you guys. And from the dealer the part is $280 but i also talked to our master tech at my shop and he also recommended that he would also buy the camber bolts to correct any toe/camber issue you might have with this drop and any drop for that matter. Mopar life!!!

I guess he rounded down from 1.3" to 1". Regardless, I'm glad that there is a lowering kit offered by Mopar and also knowing that it is covered under warranty.
.75/1 was the original Eibachs Mkt. .75/1.3 is the new kit. This is 99% sure a rebranded Eibachs kit. Precisely why I went with Eibachs. Factory tolerates them
Did you have any issues meeting the toe and camber specs with Eibach? Eibach says it should meet OE specs without any other modification. Thinking the same should be true for the Mopar springs.
So I went to order these from my dealer, to have installed while they are replacing the blown shocks under warranty (to offset some installing cost). They told me they are labeled as '14-'16 lowering springs, not '12+.
Any idea why they wouldn't fit a '13? Was there suspension changes made between model years?
Here is a brochure from Eibach's site that shows a before and after picture. These are slightly different numbers than what we are hearing the Mopar's set is but it is close.
That goes back to the original debate of what drop Mopar is actually selling. I would prefer the drop of the Eibach over Mopar's 1.0" if the 1.0" is correct. From what I have read, people were not excited about the 1.0" drop and I would personally not be concerned about a warranty issue over 0.3". I am going to install in conjunction with the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 after another 4,000 miles on the original tires- if I can wait that long.
