    From the Link that @wayoflife posted on the WAYALIFE.COM forums there is a Jeep Renegade Commander.

    Essentially, this appears to be a stock Renegade Trailhawk, but it has a MOPAR 2" Lift, and some 17" Rubicon Wheels. Here is an excerpt:


    Jeep Renegade Commander
    The Jeep Renegade Commander concept vehicle is equipped with an assortment of Mopar and Jeep Performance Parts for the ultimate off-road adventure. A 2-inch lift kit and 17-inch Rubicon aluminum wheels with 29.5-inch BF-Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires increase the off-road capabilities of the Jeep Renegade Commander.

    The “Fluorescent Gray” exterior features Renegade’s MySky open-air roof with removable panels, custom body decal, Mopar off-road rock rails, skid plates and a modified exhaust. Also featured are the Mopar brand’s trailer hitch receiver and front and rear auxiliary lights.

    Inside, the Renegade Commander includes Katzkin seat covers, body color bezel accents, a pedal kit, Mopar off-road kit and Mopar all-weather floor mats.

    The Jeep Renegade Commander is powered by the 2.4-liter Tigershark engine with MultiAir2 mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission with Jeep Active Drive Low.


    This gets me wondering, if @Daystar Products may offer a taller Lift Kit for the Renegade

    Looks great. The wrap on the hood makes it stand out.

    Not a MOPAR lift. It has the Daystar 1 1/2" lift on it. MOPAR rebadges other manufacturers designs.

    Are you sure that it is a Daystar 1.5" Lift?
    They state that it is a 2" lift.

    Either way.... my question still stands: Do you think Daystar will offer taller lift kits in the future?

    Yes, it's a Daystar lift. I don't think it's possible to lift it any higher.

    If you measure the spacer they gave you to install over the front struts it was almost 2". I forget if it was 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" but it was more than 1.5

    Yes yes yes ! I too have been seeing this and frankly I do not give a hoot who lifted this "Commander Concept" - well at least if it is not a Chinese Imported peace of doo-doo ! But I am REALLY liking it ! I hope Jeep makes these a reality for 2017 - and as a side note hope they start manufacturing on this side of the Pond ! Here or Toluca suites me better than over in Italy, if for no other reason than the LONG Haul in those salt infested cargo tankers and the LONG waiting period to get one, when built to order ! The other thing (for me) is that I Prefer a (official) Mopar Factory install for the peace of mind concerning any possibility of a Warrantee Issue ! As far as it being 1 1/2" or 2" . . . ? . . . semantics really, as long as those 29 1/2" Diameter tires on the Ruby wheels are all "good to go" ! In my dreams I see Jeep calling IT - "The Commander Package" all for a low low price of . . . ? Any guesses what they would charge for this add on to the Trailhawk ? ps; this coulda shoulda been the 75th Anniversary Edition .

    Looks pretty good, but I actually like my stock wheels better I think. Would love for Mopar to come out with "their" lift kit though, would make warranty issues much easier if it was dealer installed factory equipment.
