Lets see the spacer lifts

[Nelly]

Looks great! I’ve been debating ordering these same tires for my daughter’s JK. How do you like the Kanati Mud Hogs so far?

Thanks! I’m very happy with them. I’ve only had them for a few weeks, but so far I really like them, especially for the money. They are not as loud as I thought they would be, which is a plus. They are about as noisy as the stock BFG mud tires that came on the Willys.

hey everyone. i have 2021 jeep gladiator sport s with the max tow package. I just recently installed fox shocks off a Rubicon gladiator that only had 500 miles on it. I also installed the .75 inch daystar spacer kit front and rear. I have started to notice noise coming from the suspension and it almost sounds like a lose shock. and yes I torqued everything down. I did 75 on the lower shock mount and 85 on the top to the frame. I'm just wondering if its the lower daystar isolators on on the springs rubbing against the metal frame. I only notice when I'm going really slow like coming to a stop or when I first take off. has anyone else had this issue?

4100 miles now. 2.5" front and .75" rear still drives great, but I have some Mopar 2" lift lower front control arms sitting in the garage I need to throw on. At $30 each, why not.

Here you go, 2 1/2" spacer lift on a Mojave. And the best part, ... it rides just like a stock Mojave.

Which spacer lift did you go with? Any shock extensions? A lot of washed out trails where I am so articulation is nice, but I'd also like some lift.

It is a Teraflex 2 1/2" performance spacer lift for a 4 door JL, to which I added a Teraflex adjustable forged front track bar, and Teraflex Sport (fixed length) lower control arms. The performance spacer lift includes 2 1/2" front spring spacers, bump stop spacers, and shock extension brackets, and 1 1/2" rear spring spacers, bump stop spacers, and shock extension brackets. The kit also includes extended sway bar links for front and rear. I did not need the front sway bar links because I already had JKS sway bar quick disconnects. The Jeep drives better on road than it did when it was stock, with noticeably less wander when driving down the highway. I think the Teraflex Sport lower control arms must increase caster more than the lift decreases caster, so I have more caster now than I did stock. I had a front end alignment, but since caster and camber are fixed, all they did was set the toe setting and center the steering wheel, so I don't know what the exact caster angle is. Another possible explanation is that the Toyo Open Country MT tires just track straighter than the stock Falcon Wild Peak MT tires did. In any case, I really enjoy driving this Jeep. It drives better than any lifted Jeep I've ever owned.

First off, your Mojave is the sickest one I’ve seen so far. Second, did you regear for the 37s? Third, did the Arcus bumper mate up ok with the Mojave skid plate?

Thanks for the kind words Tuggernuts.

I did not re-gear for 37s, and so far it seems to be working just fine. The Mojave comes with 4.10 gears, which seem to be just barely enough for 37s. I suspect 3.73s would not be as forgiving, and a manual transmission would not be as forgiving. My speedometer is off by 10% according to my Lowrance GPS, which I'm ok with. If I don't want to get a ticket on the interstate, where the speed limit is 80 mph, I just drive at 72 mph. I may re-gear to 4.56 or 4.88 gears someday, but it doesn't have to be right away, or even this year.

The Arcus bumper and stock Mojave skid plate work well together. Just bolt the bumper on, then the skid plate, and you're good. The skid plate lightly contacts the bumper just as the bolts in the skid plate get snugged up.

Thank you for the reply. I’ll be copying you when my Jeep gets here, hopefully later this month.

Max tow with front rubi-coils + a 1.5” spacer and rubi-fox shocks. 35x12.50 bfg MTs on rubi-stock wheels. No wheel spacers, no rubbing, looks and drives great. 3” lift above stock max tow ride height in the front, 0.5” lift in rear with just upgrading the shocks!

Added a 3/4” spacer below the rear springs. Improved ride and towing.

Is everyone having Jeep do the tire install? I was told by them when I purchased my JT that I will void my warranty if they do not do it.

For a tire install? Sounds fishy to me - or at least overbearing on behalf of whoever told you that. Vehicle owners worldwide (not just Jeep owners) put on new/different tires every day.
