what suspension kit should i get if I'm only doing a 2.5 lift?

[The Baked Bean]

i have a 2024 jeep Mojave with a overlanding rig in the back. I'm experiencing sone squatty ness and need new rear springs, but i decided to go ahead and just lift it anyway since ill be spending the money. I'm looking at the meatal cloak 2.5 game changer but its a lot and I'm not sure if its really necessary. i like the dual rate springs and how everything's adjustable, plus its the gold standard. but on the other end of the spectrum there's the aev 2.5 that's just the springs and aliment bracket and is a lot less but I'm worried that the ride on and off road wont be what i expected and i will want t upgrade in the future. i definitely don't want spacers and want something that will stand the test of time and give me a good ride.

When I got my Mojave there was no specific kit for them yet. So I’ve piece mealed mine. You’ll definitely want stiffer than the normal offered in any kit based on your rear’s added weight. So maybe just get all the MC gold arms and front springs but get different rear springs.
You’ll want to get rid of the factory Mojave shocks. They’re too soft and don’t blend good with stiffer spring rates

I went with the Clayton 2.5" Overland+ with Falcon SP2 3.3 adjustable shocks. Those shocks require an optional bushing kit to fit the Mojave. Very happy with the ride and adjustable suspension. It's a well built kit and truck drives straight as an arrow.

Thank you I’m thinking I’m gonna go with the Clayton! I’ve had their overland leveling kit on and it treated me well on my old rig. I’m still trying to decide what shocks to put on but o can do that later down the road!
Also what size tires do you have on?

Ya I need to get new shocks I’ve been looking at the fox 2.5s or the falcon shocks. I’m leaning towards the fox shocks because their better and higher speeds I’ve been told and they already have a drop In kit.

I have 35" General Grabber X3 tires.

American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) has a great Mojave specific lift kit.

I’ve had a Clayton 2.5” Ride Right for 55k miles and it’s been great. I’m just running cheap Bilstein 5100 shocks.

Between Fox and Falcon, I’d go Fox. Teraflex isn’t a brand I trust much and they’re bankrupt. Someone will probably pick them up, but if not, there will be no support for those expensive shocks.

Same here. Extremely happy with it. It was a hard decision, and IMO, a choice well made.

Metalcloak has a 2.5 and 3.5 kit that uses their specific Mojave shock extension brackets. Lets you retain the Fox shocks.

I agree I’m trying to find a nice pair on facebook marketplace but I might just shell out and buy new ones, less risk and it’s nice to have the warranty

I can’t imagine using 3.5” lift coils with factory shocks. That’s a lot more coil travel range and shocks without enough travel.

I've piece mealed mine together. I started out with the absolute cheapest 3.5" lift, just to get the springs and shock extensions, since I wanted to keep my stock shocks. The only thing left of my initial Rough Country 3.5" lift are the springs and shock extensions. I added all eight Core 4x4 Crawl control arms with Johnny Joints on both ends. Clayton Off-road front and rear track bars. Teraflex drive shaft spacer and rear 1.5" coil spacers, since my rear sagged. I am so happy with how it looks and rides. My next mod will be the upgraded steering (tie rod and drag link).
