Mojave Shocks on Sport/Rubicon

[Courtsm3]

Installed Mojave Fox 2.5 Resi shocks front and rear. Rears took 15-20 mins but fronts took over an hour. Still need to get them mounted properly. The Mojaves come with but serts in the frame horn. Everyone else gets as shown in the picture. Mounted them using band clamps, push pins and zap straps for now. Overall they ride well, but its also -13 celsius today and yeaterday

I'm curious to hear more about the ride. Did you have the stock Sport suspension before? What springs and bumpstops are you using?

Stock Rubicon springs, 1.5” teraflex up front and .75” daystar in the rear. Just a front bumpstop extension in the front from the teraflex kit. Nothing in the rear.

Ride is more plush, just slightly. Handles corners better and stays more flat. Less body roll and slightly less bounce. As for off road i cannot comment yet. Happy overall. Even with the stiffer rubi springs.

Are you planning on matching the shocks with the mojave springs? I was curious how long it would take someone to do this, thanks for posting up.

No plans. Maybe if I decide to go with more lift, maybe. I like the ride, feels planted and my Rubicon springs should hold up to towing a bit better.

I have the same lift spacers and looking into the mo-jayv shocks. Worth it?

I ended up doing the Mojave Springs and shocks together. Happy I did. Also added the rancho control arm drop brackets with my spacers. Rides like a dream and tows my 1700lb overland trailer without drama.

Were the rubicon shock bolts much smaller than the Mojave? Did you have to replace the hardware? Did the shock bushings fit okay in the mounts?

I found some Mojave suspension locally for a decent price, really considering pulling the trigger.

I drilled out the front teraflex shock extensions and rear lower mounts. Easy peasy no issues. I cant recall the size, m14 or 15, honestly forget. Just grabbed hardened bolts from my local hardware store.

Hopefully someone can help me. I am looking to do the full swap I snagged a full mojave suspension for $1200 and it’s got 1000 miles arms, sway bars, shocks etc. i know the front bushing sleeve is not going to fit. Can I order the part from OEM or even swap the whole bushing? Anyone that can shed light or even send links for the part as I seem to not be able to find it would be great.

I don't know about swapping the bushing. I just made a sleeve for my factory bolt, then bolted up the mojave shocks.

 

[Dombell18]

Was it a pain in the ass to make a sleeve? I’m on mopar I can’t buy the sleeve but I’m trying to see if I can just buy the whole bushing and swap it in.

Not too bad, just a few attempts to figure it out. Bought a piece of sheet metal from home depot and wrapped a string around the bolt to get a measurement. Used a cutting wheel and a vise to cut to length, then I just used some pliers and the vise to bend it around the bolt. I had the shock handy and just kept checking it in the bushing with the bolt. They all bolted up no issues or movement. Not like it wasn't fun before but it's crazy fun to drive on the beach now.
