    Yes.. wanted something different. It does look if not better than the blacktop. Had it done through dodge dealership when I first bought it, thus covered by warranty.

    It's a third row version. Maybe its the angle when I took the picture.
    In person it does look slightly higher at the back. Maybe it's due to the spring design? As it is a progressive spring.
    We rarely have the third row used anyways. But will see how it looks and handles with more loads. Thanks

    Is yours a two row or three row? The car appears lower and sit even, front to back. Mine sits higher in the back than the front, which I like, but maybe it is designed this way to take the weight of people sitting in the third row.

    R4V3N reacted to Sazzleevans in £350 for a new key fob!!!!!!!!!!!!   
    Well bit of an update. I sent my one set of keys off to be repaired. I had to post them to a firm quite a few miles away, http://www.autotronics.co.uk/cscart/index.php I had a call today to say they had fixed the "bad key" issue, he said there was water damage and I needed a new chip. Cost £75 (approx $100) which includes posting them back. No idea what caused the water damage but I believe him. Should be back by Friday.
    Second key which started the car but wouldn't lock the doors is also now fixed. I got handed a business card at a garage today for a locksmith. I called him and he asked if I had fitted a new battery, which I had and then he told me how to resinc the key, he said sometimes when a new battery is fitted it need it be connected to car again.
    To do this you hold down the lock button and then place it in the ignition (keeping the lock button pressed down) . You turn the key until all the lights are displayed on the dashboard. You keep the key there for 10 seconds' (still holding down the lock button ) and then you turn the key to the off position and take the key out. You still keep the lock button pressed and you hold it for ten second before releasing it.
    This worked and my key started to work again unlocking and locking the car. I was staggered he told me for free over the phone!!! It worked several times and then started to fail to lock on a few attempts so he came to the house and opened the key fob case. Again I had some water damage and a connections needed repairing. Now it seems to be working fine, Cost for this key £45 (approx $70)

    Hi guys.. this is the update.
    Firstly the front springs fit nicely without any issues. Not sure if I could recommend this for the 3.5/3.6L engine as logically it is heavier.
    The problem comes with the rear springs where the upper end of the original springs are slightly larger in diameter. The lower end fits but not the upper end. Due to the size differences, the upper end of the Eibach could not fit into the original spring seat/boot (not sure if the term is correct). Again, am not sure if the rear suspension are the same and applies to other DJ model. Wondering whom had tried H&R kits and face similar problem?
    The store owner told me there are two ways to fix the above. First by finding a spring seat/boot to fit into the upper strut mount (which I think is non existence) or to modify the upper end of the Eibach to fit. It was a call that I had to gamble. Since the diameter gap was minimal I did the latter and that, thankfully, did the job! What boggles me is why Eibach didn't just revise their design to fit the 2011+ models?!?
    In any case, I haven't had enough time to test it. But base on initial impression, it handles well when stopping and acceleration. Yes it is on a stiffer side yet absorb bumps and uneven surfaces quite nicely. I think this matter is subjective to only my opinion and may differ and debatable to others. The looks is also perfect!
    I will post some pix latter after downloading from my phone.
    Cheers!

    @dhh3: they are slightly stiffer and lowered the car around 30mm up to 40mm I think that's 1.0"-1.5" in inches? On net it mentioned it can be used for 2.0, 2.4, 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6 engine. Yet confused as most info comments tells me otherwise. Are there significant suspension changes from 2011 to 2014? Maybe someone with more experience can share this.
    As from my past experience Eibach Prokit are on the softer side as compared to H&R.
    Will install them today and see if there are any fitmen issues.

    Thanks. Your ride isn't bad as well. Especially the combination of copperhead pearl and the Crossroad wheels! The stance is just perfect.
    The price of the headlight is kinda steep and including custom duties.. There are some drawbacks though, firstly the DRL is just too bright for oncoming traffic. I do not have the DRL function available from the headunit. Hence had to install a switch to manually turn them off during night use. The high beam is even more blinding than the DRL. Thumbs up if you like to blind people. Yet it does look nice. Hope it'll last.
    As for the rear fog lamp, I thought it came as standard? There are only three model sold here and all came standard. I always use them and with the smoked paint it does not blind that much.
    Forgot to mentioned, although not really seen clearly in the pix that he front fog lamp has been changed to JW speaker. It is not as bright as the HIDs I'm using, but bright enough to lit the road. It has good tint to match any good 5000K HIDs and its plug & play
