***Official Mojave Thread*** Lets talk Mojaves

[MoparToYou]

I called them and their sales person on the phone helped me put together what I needed. Basically this is a 2 1/2" performance spacer lift for a JLU, plus the extra parts to make it work on a Mojave, which allows me to keep the stock Mojave suspension. It has 2 1/2" spring spacers, bump stop extensions, and shock extension brackets in front, to which I added their forged adjustable track bar and sport lower control arms. I already had JKS quick disconnects for a 0-2" lift. Rear suspension includes 1 1/2" spring spacers, bump stop extensions, shock extension brackets, and extended sway bar links. The ride is just like stock.

Wow ? do you have a link for the 2.5 terraflex?

Installed a Teraflex 2.5" lift on my Mo Jave today. Would have had the 37s on as well, but the tire store ordered the correct 37x12.50R-17 tires, ... with 20x9 wheels. Now I get to wait another few days for the correct 17x9 wheels to get here. Here it is with the 35s still on it.

If I'm reading correctly, you've added a 2.5" life to a Mojave. Did this include the original shocks?

I've mounted the JCR Offroad Half Rack, and JCR Offroad side Molle Panel - with a few accessories, relocated my spare to the rack, used a relatively inexpensive plastic storage box for my recovery gear and tools, and replaced the color-matched fender flares with a more utilitarian set of black plastic. Not pictured is a very cool ARB Hydraulic Jack that I keep in the back seat (once I'm confident it can sit in the rain I'll replace the Hi-Lift Jack with it).

I'm realizing that you did this:

Pretty close. I think he has a 2" rear lift, and mine is 1 1/2". He uses different rear bump stop extensions because of that, and for some reason he uses Evo shock extension brackets for the rear shocks. I used Teraflex.

There are countless way to do this, but in theory they are the same. Use spring spacers, bump stop extensions, shock extension brackets, and longer sway bar links. Pretty basic at that point. Then add the adjustable track bar and longer lower front control arms.

I drove about 100 miles today with the lift on my truck, and I think it drives down the highway better now than it did stock. I suspect that the longer lower control arms increase caster more than the lift decreases caster, so the net effect is that I have more caster than before. I would have to measure it to confirm that though. But it doesn't wander as much as it did when totally stock. And there are no driveline vibrations. It really does drive great for a lifted Jeep.

You also have to hold traction control button for about 5 second to to stability off

Hi

I actually figured that out myself earlier today looking at the manual and messing around with the ESC button. There is Off and Completely Off. Lol

Thx!

I got to do some exploring in the Mojave, with 140 miles of dirt today. Here is a picture crossing Cougar Spar Pass, Wah Wah Mountains, Southern Utah.

Looks great! Love the lift and the info! About to run 37's on my Mojave and still looking at lift options. Everyone complains about, "why would you lift a Mojave", but so far, everyone that has, said it rides better than stock. Epic Adventure Outfitters even stating that it's the best Gladiator they've ever driven.

The lift on my Mojave is a Teraflex 2.5" Performance Spacer Lift, plus the extra parts to work with a Mojave. I used the 2 1/2" front spring spacers, bumpstop extensions, and shock extension brackets. Then I added a Teraflex adjustable track bar and Teraflex Sport lower control arms. Rear suspension is 1 1/2" spring spacers, bumpstop extensions and shock extension brackets. Total cost for the 2 1/2" lift, with shipping and state sales tax was $1,020. Add another $89 for a front end alignment, and you're done.

It rides the same as stock with the stock tires on. Switching to 37" Toyo MTs does slightly firm up the ride over small square bumps, because of the stiffer tires. Overall it is still by far the best riding lifted Jeep I've ever owned, and that goes back 46 years.

Hey there ! Love all your new Mojave’s got mine last week! Wondering if anyone else has had issues finding a way to mount light pods on the cowl. I guess the new hood on the Mojave changed the size and shape of the cowl, think the diesel might have the same change... Read earlier on in a forum that someone else was having trouble finding a solution to mount the pods...

The ones I have from KC Hilites don’t seem to fit from my JLUR. If anyone has any suggestions on how to mount up pods to the cowl i’d really appreciate it !
