Any Mojave's with Clayton lifts (or just springs) on them?

[dayusmc]

I was wonder if anyone with a stock Mojave (steel front bumper, no winch) has put a Clayton 2.5" lift or front springs on or the new 1.5" springs on. I would love to see pictures. I am tossed between Clayton's 1.5" front springs and stock springs in back or Clayton's 2.5" springs in front and their newer 1.5" springs in back. I am trying to level my Mojave and also possibly lift it a little...

Would love to see some also, thinking about just going with their whole lift though and selling the Mojave suspension

I am trying to level my Mojave also. I do not like rake. I already bought the rest of the stuff, some Yeti and some Clayton. I just need to figure springs out...

Mine sagged pretty good after adding the Arcus and evo 10s. Seems like even the smallest bump I go over, I’m hitting the bump stops. Drives me crazy.

One of my concerns with picking out springs is I got 2 different answers from 2 different people at Clayton.
When I order their 2.5" rear springs about 6 months ago they told me that all their measurements were based off a stock Sport. Yesterday when I called I was told all their measurements were based off a Rubicon... That you make a big difference because the Rubicon and Mojave are an inch taller than a sport. So if they base their 2.5" spings (and they said they are actually 3") off a sport it is only about 2" of lift on a Mojave. But if they base it off a Robicon, it is 3" of lift...

So I decided to just take the chance and order the Clayton 2.5" front Springs and 1.5" rear triple rate springs. I will take measurements before and after I put everything on so everyone has a reference.
Here is what I bought for the Mojave:
Front:
-Fox ATS Stabilizer
-Yeti Stabilizer Relocation Bracket
-Yeti Tie Rod
-Yeti Drag Link
-Yeti Front Track Bar
-Yeti Sector Shaft Brace
-Clayton 2.5" Front Springs (COR-1508350)
-Clayton Front UCA (COR-1709101)
-Clayton Front Bump Stop (COR-1408100)
-Metalcloak Front Coil Pads (7266)
-Metalcloak Mojave 3" Front Shock Extensions (7626)
-Core 4x4 Front Swaybar End Links 9"
Rear:
-Clayton 1.5" Triple Rate Springs (COR-1510151)
-Clayton Rear Bump Stops (COR-1410200)
-Clayton Rear Track Bar (COR-4510120)
-Metalcloak 3" Rear Shock Extensions (7708)
-Metalclock Coil Spring Sleeves (7670)
-RockJock Driveshaft Drop (RJ-151402-101)
-Core 4x4 Rear Swaybar End Links 13"

My Mojave is already on 35" x 12.5" Tires, So this will probably give me room for 37" in the future. Hopefully this levels the truck and makes it ride better. I am thinking about switching to Fox 2.5 Elite shocks, I already bought the rear (883-26-074) for a 2" lift, but not sure yet.

Same lift with winch and 40" Mickey Thompson tires

Your truck looks perfect and level. So of the gladiators I see with Clayton's 2.5 lift have too much rake for me. I ordered the 1.5" springs for the back to try and level it. Good thing is I already have Clayton's 2.5 rear springs sitting here, so if it is not level with 2.5 up front and 1.5 in back I can put the 2.5 in the back because I already have them. .
What parts exactly are in your lift?

I believe the 2.5" Clayton kit comes with 3" front springs and 2.5" rear springs.

I also have a rubicon steel rear bumper with skids, maybe that helps level her out.

 

[dayusmc]

My Mojave has a steel front bumper as well.
The Clayton 2.5 kit comes with 3.5"/2.5" for JT front springs and 2.5" rear springs.
There really isn't too much documentation on how high Clayton's springs with lift the truck. One tech a t Clayton told my there advertised numbers were based of a sport and another told me they were based off a Rubicon. So I bought all of it and will put it on and see ...

Hope it all works out for you. My lift has about 40K miles on it, with zero issues. Clayton makes quality parts. Now that I moved up to the 40" tires I am thinking of going with the Clayton 3.5" lift for a little extra lift and clearance.

I wonder if I need longer brake lines...

@JohnQ , what is the measurement between the top of your rear tire and bottom of the rear fender. I am curious to know the clearance for the springs you are running. If you don't mind, I would be interested in knowing the front as well.

Thank you,

Bob

I started putting on the lift yesterday. It will probably take a week as I am cleaning and painting everything while it is apart I took base line numbers and will take measurements when it is done.

Did you get it installed? I’m thinking of doing the same thing. 1.5” rear, 2.5” front.
