I started with the longer mopar Lca’s and upgraded to geo brackets. Much better ride with the brackets.
So you went back to the shorter (original) LCAs with the Geo bracket?

Why would you use the setting for a 2 in lift on the Mojave if you install the AEV 2 in spacer lift? Shouldn't matter that the Mojave is already lifted because the LCA angle is already set for that height from the factory correct? So if going from factory and lifting 2 in shouldn't that be the setting to use not 3 in?? Just trying to understand as I'm about to add this to my Mojave.

I used the extended mopar arms initially with 3” synergy springs .Then stock oe arms with Rancho geo brackets , middle hole . Then went with MetalCloak uppers and lowers. Lowers were set to 24 1/8” good 0 degree pinion angle for +6 degrees caster .This was done to get rid of too soft OE bushings to get even better tracking and low NVH. Core crawl series track bar. I prefer Geo brackets if you have to choose between arms or Geo brackets

This is going to save me many $$$ and time. I now have a Mopar 2 inch lift on my Rubicon. The ride is less than good. I was thinking of going with a long arm system but was talked out of it by a very knowledgeable and honest person. They suggested the brackets for a better ride and less $$$. I had a set of JKS brackets on a previous lifted JK and they worked great. JKS is really great quality.
I measured from ground to center of rear CA bolt 18.25 inches and front bolt is 14.25. I wonder what factory stock is? With the bracket I will loose about 2.5 inches in the rear bolt for ground clearance.

I went to the Offroad show on Sat and after talking with a few people I decided to try some geo brackets. MC is having a sale so went with them. If they help with the ride it will be a win. Install will be an easy garage day. I'll post the results here.
I was informed that the Mopar lift control arms that now give me 6.1 deg caster would not work with the brackets so the order was canceled.

The Mopar 2 inch lift lower arms and the correction brackets together should give you more than 6 degrees caster.
