So everyone would recommend the 2” aev lift and 37’s? I have a 21 Mojave! Definitely don’t want to mess up the smooth ride it has. Any great loss of power with the 37’s? Was thinking of Nittos but also like the KO2’s. Thank you
Yes, great gate way to the addiction while maintaining the OEM ride/feel. I ran that set up for about 2 years.........I'm about 80% with my MC GC 4.5" lift right now.

Done???
What???
Quitting modding your Jeep is like , quitting smoking or losing weight, we all do it all the time, we get real good at it! You are way ahead of me with tires and lift kit but I have spent at least $14,000 or so on a “stock” Mojave! Next Venture full belly skid will be next what’s a couple more thousand, then perhaps I’ll be done!
Then again the Relentless Fabrication high clearance rear bumper is something I should have perhaps, but then I’ll be done!🤔🤪🤣…..Jack

But Jack, once we're "Done" it will be time for a LS or Hemi swap. Mine will be paid off this summer........so yeah.

I'm headed in that same direction. I just want better performance while crawling.

My buddy installed this same kit in his '23 JTM and rides amazing, he says its even better than stock. He also added the Hellwig sway bar (on my xmas list)

Not sure this is scientific, but took picture as is. Then lifted frame till there was an extra 2" space between fenders and tires. Does it measure a true 2" or is it more or less?

Lol, I did this before I installed my aev lift, pretty much on the nose, not much guess work with a spacer lift, if its 2inches you get 2 inches. It might sit a little higher for an hour or so since you will be decompressing the springs for the install and it can take a bit for it to settle.

I can say with certainty that the 2" Mopar lift netted me more that the advertised 2". I didn't take measurements, but it takes more effort to get in when compared to my old JKU with a 2.5" lift on 35s

Typical with a suspension lift. We're talking spacer lifts. My AEV was exactly 2".

Yep, you're right. I should have thought it out better before posting

AEV 2" spacer kit is the perfect starter kit or for a DD with a low buy in and little effort.

For a Mojave it's about the only lift you can do without changing/messing up all the stuff that makes it a Mojave.

Ok. I just ordered it and the SkyJacker geo brackets. I hope I like it, I am hearing budget lift, but pricey to me.

Well considering that I'm budgeting between 5-7k for my Metal Cloak lift the AEV is definitely on the cheaper side of things. Question, why didn't you go with the aev correction brackets?

A suggestion from someone that has done this and is price sensitive , get the AEV for Mojave lift and add the Mopar slightly longer lower control arms (Part Number: 68322798AA) $80 for the pair.

I did not go with the geo brackets, it drives just like stock to me...maybe hold off on that part till you see if it really matters and if so you can always add as they will be a project in themselves.
