I have a Mojave and am looking at lifts. I am currently running 35's and want to see what it might look like with a the additional height.

I did see some old posts and there was only one decent photo. Hope to see more. Share em if you got em.

Thanks in advance!

Here's the last pictures I have of my Sport with 35s and a 3.5 inch lift. Went up to 37s at the beginning of this month

Thanks guys - the 35s do look too bad. If I go with the lift I would do the larger tires\regear as a phase 2. Sounds crazy but I was trying to visualize 35s ad thought they might look ridiculously small.

They will look odd, just because of the wheel well being higher.
But you'll get used to the look.
I did my lift knowing I was going with 37's after I did.
Seeing it with 37's makes me want bigger tires, but at full lock in reverse I already have a light rub.

I must admit, while I liked how mine looked on 35s, the 37s definitely look better.

Thanks for the PM, @Sw00per!

3.5 @Metalcloak Gamchanger, Kings Shocks 2.5 (8 clicks in the front, 9 clicks in the rear), 1-ton Synergy Steering Upgrade (Sector Shaft Brace, Adj. Track Bars, Tie Rod, Drag Link), EVO Sway Bar Links, Tom Woods Drive Shaft, Upgraded Powerstop Brakes. I would probably recommend 2.5 Apex Chassis Tie Rod/Drag Link, and Metalcloak Prem. Sway Bar Links (due to the weight of the RSI Cap, and other goodies). Also running, 35 x 12.5 Falkens.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Metalcloak, as I have been a huge customer of their products and lift on the Mojave. Incredible quality + customer service. Also note, I do have the fender chop for just the front fenders. Also, running Hellwig Rear Sway Bar HD (center hole setting).

Just heard some clunking on the right turn passenger side yesterday, turns out that the castle nut wasn't torqued to spec for the lower/upper ball joint. Also, I don't recommend the stock Mojave shocks for the lift (or with extensions). The ride was so horrible at first, and I'm so glad I went with the Kings. The new MC Adj. Shocks would be a great combo for their lift. Problem solved.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Thanks brother. Just starting the process and going with recommendations. I did neglect to mention that I will be adding a cap so I will get back to Jerry who owns a gladiator as well and see how that changes things. BTW glad the tires don't look like wheels on a skate. My goal is to increase capabilities for my planned return to Moab...

No problem, always glad to help brother.

That was my biggest fear, looking like some chicken legs on the Mojave. What gears were you looking to put on? (Just curious as I might be going up to 37s and might need that regear as well, due to all the weight right now).

If you need some more pics, I can take some with a measuring tape to give you an idea of the fender well gap, and height from top to bottom, just to give a better idea.

Giving a link to a previous post with some more details about my setup... 3.5 inch Metalcloak dual rate with 35 inch Mickey Thompson Baja Legend MTZs. There is plenty room to run larger tires. I may in the future. It's dialed in perfectly and runs beautifully on 35s. Added weight when I'm loaded or pulling doesn't seem to impact much of the stance at all except to level it out a bit. Good luck deciding - you can't make a wrong decision, just a decision that informs you more for a better future decision. lol
