I’m slightly toe-in to spec. I have seen talk of going slightly toe-out to help, but it’s not a frequent enough problem for me to try that. I think you’re right about the wheel offset.
Local pickup or I’m willing to ship.
Suspension take-offs from my 2021 Mojave. Prefer to sell together, will sell separately in pairs+. 10,000 miles on vehicle when items were removed.
$1500 for the lot.
Fox 2.5 Internal Bypass Shocks
(Still using, will remove upon sale)
4 springs...
Maybe this will have no influence on your purchase decision, but in case someone else comes along reading, it actually does work - I did it. See my post in my build thread here: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/the-mojave-jt-build-information.65321/

Absolutely true - as my truck is right now it’s not getting more downtravel than stock and this limits grip while rock crawling for sure. I do have more ground clearance though with the longer springs which has its own benefits :)
All I know from my own bench testing is that as part of the internal bypasses, the Mojave shocks have a rebound/top out zone 1/2” from full extension. In other words, the shock firms up significantly as it extends toward the end, mitigating any potential “slamming” the shock into full extension...
Agreed - I found out because buried in the middle of one of their info videos about the extensions it says they’re 3”. I purchased and it’s true.
yeah, the Clayton 3.5” lift provides about 4.5” in the front (they measure 3.5” lift in the rear for the kit) plus I have a leveling spacer. Sorry, should have included that info.
Jumping in here as the one who measured out those Mojave shock specs quoted above.
MetalCloak actually makes that 3” front upper shock extension specific to the Mojave now, so it bolts right up no customization needed. I used them on my Mojave and they’re not expensive.
For front lower shock...
I still am not quite happy with handling behavior over off-camber bumps, potholes, etc on- and off-road.
It feels like the truck has some kind of "rolling wobble" or even "torsional wobble" that feels unsettling especially at speed. It still tracks straight and once aware of the feel, it's...

I had quite a bit of sector shaft flex that made things a bit more effort on some 80mph+ curvy freeways on a 1,200 mile round trip from UT to AZ last month, so I decided to go for the Steer Smarts Sector Shaft Brace/Track Bar Bracket.
Install was a little different due to my...
I ended up doing this as a temporary fix as I was going out of state for a wheeling trip last month.
I just used 1/4" cable with a turnbuckle from my local hardware store. Functionally worked great. The downside is cabin vibration is higher due to lack of vibration isolation between the cable...
You don’t have to. The shock seals, shock oil, and reservoir nitrogen will just slowly move further and further away from factory spec over time. The average driver probably wouldn’t notice even at 100K but Fox does recommend a 50K mile service interval. Source...
I uninstalled my Mojave’s Fox 2.5 shocks and took some measurements based on applied pressure on my bench and did some math. Hopefully these are helpful!
Bypass Zones
There are two compression ports and one rebound (extension) port. This is a common setup so that the travel towards bottoming...
One other thing that I haven't fixed yet is that the amount of lift in the front caused the front driveshaft/boot to be brushing up against the exhaust where the exhaust runs rearward along the transmission, before crossing over above the driveshaft. This is bad because it started to melt the...
