Ok so I decided on the @Metalcloak 2.5" game changer and couldn't be happier! I opted to stick with the factory fox shocks and used the metalcloak shock extension to do so! Lift took me about 2 days to install in my driveway (with lots of breaks for chores and dad duties...lol).
I'm about to install the same lift on my mojave and run factory wheels and tires for a bit. I opted to get the 2" wheel spacers to have on hand Incase i have any rubbing issues. Do you happen to have any pics of the whole truck with the lift and factory size tires by chance?
Nice!! Fort Smith AR?? I'm in Bella Vista AR just north of ya if so....do a lot of riding in the Ozarks! Pretty sure I decided to do the Clayton 2.5" Overland kit with extended rear brake lines, front brake line bracket extensions, JKS shock extensions to utilize the factory shocks till they...
Thanks for all the comments and feed back on the @Clayton Off Road lifts!
I'm looking to install one on my 23' Mojave but on the fence about which kit is best for me.
I currently have DV8 bumper, skid plate, and 12k winch up front. Dv8 bumper in rear and installing a OpenRoad bed cap in a...
Good to know! Was trying to decide if I should add it to the list while installing the lift or wait till it was time...don't like changing parts for fun if I can get some life out of it ya know. How long it take you to wear it out with the 2.5"? I'm still on the fence with the 2.5" and the 3.5"...
I know this post is a little older now but I'm looking to do the same lift and had a few questions!
1) How is the ride with the lift and factory shocks? I've heard mixed reviews and wanted your opinion.
2) Did you replace the front driveshaft or have any issues with this matter after the lift if...
I'm currently in the market for a kit to lift my 23' Mojave! Trying to decide between the MC 2.5" and 3.5" GC. I currently have DV8 bumper, DV8 skid plate, & 12k winch up front and DV8 bumper in the rear. Gonna be installing the OpenRoad bed cap in a few weeks to house basic camping gear as well...
TJDave....thanks for the pic and info...Nice rig! I am still on the fence about what I really want to do so I ordered the 2.5" Skyjacker spacer lift as well as the 1.5" Alloy USA leveling kit....I still have about a week before I can complete the install so I have to decide by then...decisions...
Awesome build!! When you installed the 1.5" Teraflex kit up front did the rig sit level? I'm trying to decide if I need the 3/4" spacer in the back or not. Thanks for sharing :fist bump:
This is very true! I am looking to level out the Rubicon and add some extra room (I prefer the look of a little extra fender gap...each his own...lol). I wont be able to install this setup for another week or so due to my work schedule but who knows I may change my mind by then! We shall see!

What's your thoughts on the skyjacker spacer lift as far as trackbar/control arms goes? Factory setup sufficient for daily driver and occasional mild off-roading?
