Help me out guys, will I be ok adding a 1" Terraflex spacer to front coils without 1" bumpstop extensions? Or would I be better off with TF 1.5" in front, .5" rear and 1" front jounce extensions?

Mine came level, did yours not? It’s already an inch higher up front.

The 1” factory lift upfront and taller hood definitely help with the leveled look but the Mojave has rake, at least 3/4” when I measured it completely stock so the 1” TeraFlex spacer would be more than enough but I do have a steel bumper waiting to be installed when it’s not to hot in Vegas so I did the full 1.5” spacer. Do not skip out on the bump stops, they’re a pain to install but I highly recommend getting those installed with this kit.

Is that pic with 1.5" front and stock rear?

Correct, 1.5” upfront and nothing in rear. Left me just about a half inch higher in front after I measured it again but that’s to compensate for the steel bumper going on. Not keeping this long term as I’m planning on going with the Clayton 2.5” Overland lift kit by the end of the year, hopefully.

No problems with shocks topping or bottoming out from lack of bump stop extensions and shock extension brackets? How hard are you running it? I like the partial debadge, btw

That's crazy, it looks just a hair high in front with 1.5" spacer. Measuring fender to fender, mine is actually 1/2" higher in front, yet looks like it's raked at least an inch. I'm guessing due to highline front fenders.

No issues so far. It’s my DD 75% of the time and the rest is riding down some fire trails to get to lakes or going up Mount Charleston while camping, moderate trails. Definitely not a kit you want to run for some serious wheeling. I installed mine for looks to be honest.

Thanks man. Excited to see your build over time, just remember it’s not a race to build your rig. Find out what works best for you and your Mojave, buy once, cry once, etc. and just enjoy your Jeep!

I wouldn’t level it. With the soft suspension, any load in the back will make ride nose high, which is one of the stupidest looks possible.
