Does anyone know where I can get a leveling kit installed for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland in the New Orleans area? I have called at least 8 different auto shops in town and have had no luck with any.

Is it possible to have this installed with the newer models? Has anyone actually had one installed before?

Most of the shops have said they are not comfortable working on the newer models, new suspension makes it difficult, or they don't know of a reputable kit out there to install.

TIA

On something like that especially with as finicky as these new electronic suspensions are I would probably take their advice and at least hold off for awhile until something good comes out. Not many places turn down money unless there is some bad juju going around.

I know nothing about Jeeps, but i'm with Fish. If that many shops tell you no, then there's a problem.

I don't think that anyone would say not to get it. I think I would give it some more time until some beta test are done and a quality product that shops are willing to stand behind comes around.

Figured if anyone would know, they would. For a while, and they still might, their Lafayette store was doing all the lifts/wheels/conversions for the local Jeep dealer in Lafayette.

I've seen he's installed them on 2012s. Not sure what's special about your particular one.

Jeep dealerships in town couldn't do either. I searched on my phone, what's the place called? I couldn't find it. Any chance you could please post a link? Thanks

I may be in luck then. I believe the 2012s and up all have the same issues. 2011s and below have leveling kits available

I see there are only two kits out there, which leads me to believe there isnt a market or something is up with reliability

Did you buy the kit already or do you have one in mind? I can't imagine that the DIY install is very difficult if you have an afternoon to spare.
