Advice for cheap front shock replacement gladiator Mojave

[pitzer16]

I have a 2025 gladiator Mojave and the front fox shocks went bad. They are being replaced under warranty but they are on back order and I have no clue when they will be available. I’m looking for a relatively cheap pair of front shocks I can use till the new fox shocks come in but am having a hard time finding something that fits the Mojave. Apparently they are different from other models of gladiators. Any thought on what I can buy to get me through till the warranty is completed?

what ever the parts store has at your price point .....

Ranchos would be the cheapest, Bilstein are better.

I would pick up some cheap ranchos for a rubicon, and then screw with the bushings to make the bigger mohave bolts work.

You will have to do some research but the only real difference between Mohave and rubicon shocks from a mounting issue is the bolt size used to mount them up. mohave bolts are a touch bigger.

Ruby shocks might be a touch longer but if you aren't planning to get crazy while waiting for the OEM stuff they should be fine.

Some shocks will require you swap out the bushings in the ends, as mentioned, the Mojave uses larger bolts. Some shocks are available with the larger bushings already installed, others will need you to swap out the bushings.

If the bad shocks are under warranty, I would force Jeep to provide something to keep you on the road.

I know, that will never happen. Just wanted to post it anyway. I would at least ask them how you are supposed to get to work.

Facebook marketplace often has mojave take offs, especially if you live around a 4x4 shop. Cheap way to replace, and you'd have a set to rebuild when needed.

It's something I'd want eventually anyway, but if my stock were damaged under warranty I'd certainly want Jeep to take care of it instead.
