I just bought a front set of 5160 for $320 from Northridge. It showed 2 left instock when I was checking out.

Hopefully they will helps with tons of washboard trails out west. Replacing my Mopar 2" lift Fox shocks.

Looks like Fox and Jeep had a divorce

Good!! my fox shocks suck and Jeep still hasn't replace the bad one yet. Mybe I'll get lucky and get 4 new Bilstein's.

Be interesting to see what a comparable shock is from Bilstein's site (above post) At the low end you would pay 270 x 4 (1080.00) just for shocks. If you been running the Mopar lifts for 2-3-4 years and wanted to stick with it, 2 grand isn't that bad to freshen up. Might be worth a call to Bilstein though to see what they say, maybe just buy shocks and safe some cash???

The Fox seem fine for me but the co-pilot has other opinions. I am temped to do one of the two options above, but also I am considering going with some of the non-Mopar kits in a 3 or 3.5.

Bilstein is dealer sale only. You can't buy form them directly and they are very strict about the warranty too. I got some Bilsteins from Amazon and needed to warranty one they denied my claim becasue Amazon isn't an authorized seller.

Since they can't replace 1 of my fox shock maybe I will get 4 new Bilsteins!!

That would explain the lack of fox shocks on the 23 rubicons

The 2023 Rubicon Gladiators doesnt have Fox?

Nope! It was a big surprise when a few of us got the first 23 rubicons and noticed it. They get a different version of the Red Teneco Rancho shocks which are much better than the Fox shocks.

The interesting thing to me is these say they will fit the Mojave when the old lift did not. A 2” (probably still a 1” for Mojave) lift plus a possible cure for the squeaky Fox shocks sounds like it might be a good option.

I have never heard that the stock Mojave shocks have a squeaking problem. Is that pretty common?

Interested to see what they do to the Mojave shocks in the future.

Yeah, I agree; their new partnership, as it seems, with Bilstein lends itself to the fact that Stellantis and Fox fell out at some point. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Mojave had Bilstein remote reservoirs and, dare I say, a version of Teraflex speed bump stops.. Who knows, but I'm interested as well.

Got my popcorn here waiting to see what’s going to happen with the new 24 Mojave.

Yep, unfortunately, it seems to be pretty common in areas where it gets cold. Warm months I don’t have any issues, but once it drops for the winter they can get noisy sometimes.

I originally had a Mopar kit on order ... after 2+ months and their inability to deliver moved me over to an Evo kit. After installing the Evo and completing all of the geometry adjustments it made me realize how incomplete the Mopar kit really is. You do need adjustable track bars (front/rear) and adjustable front lower and rear upper control arms to really fine tune your pinyon angles.

Can you post a link to the EVO you went with? Thanks.
