How long ago was this? I worked for a Gm dealer and we couldn’t sell them until the airbags were fixed. We stocked them and it was a 15 minute job. We also had to perform them on vehicles going to the auction or even the scrap yard.
I actually ran them with no lift and really don’t remember why I put the lift on. Had no rubbing issues on the stock Mojave suspension. They stick out maybe 1” from the fenders. I did put the longer mopar lower control arms at the same time as well.
Sent mine to the dump, 2700lbs of poison ivy roots, random stumps and shit found in our recently cleared fields. My daughter also customized the back of my seat with her muck boots 🤣
Been running the aev Mojave 2” lift and 37” nitto ridge grapplers for about a year on stock gears with no complaints. Would it be better with a re-gear sure, but I honestly don’t mind. 8th gear is a little more rare but it doesn’t bother me.
