Does anyone know specifically, other than the shock extensions, if there are any differences between the non-Mojave AEV 2" lift, and the Mojave-specific AEV 2" lift?

I believe the big difference it the bolt hole size in the shock extensions. Larger diameter in the Mojave ones.

Are you happy? I have same truck, same tires and just got my kit... but struggling. I like the look but want the clearance for off-road. I'm worried it will be too high? I'll also add that I have a winch on front and getting ARE cap on the back so maybe lift will slightly less due to weight.

Extremely happy! I love it even more than before the lift. I just received AEVs Geometry correction brackets and I’m excited to get those on. Caster was below specs after the lift.

I can get some more pictures of anything if you would like anything specific.

I haven’t installed my lift yet, I was thinking about adding the carrier bearing drop and will probably add it at some point. I might just head down to Home Depot and build up my own drop bracket. I still need to find a rear trackbar bracket. I can’t get the tires I want from Nitto so I don’t want to add the lift until I can get tires.

Same here. they were able to sell just the rear 1.5 spacer it was $59.98 also ordered the new rear track bar bracket they offer. I've considered adding a drive shaft carrier bearing I think I saw where AEV includes it in their lifts. Did you install one?

I finally installed the drop bracket. I went to Home Depot and bought longer grade 8 bolts. I cut up a steel tow hook that was about an 1” thick and used it as the spacer for the drop.

Not a single retailer I've found has the AEV kit for Mojave's in stock. This is frustrating.

Rubitrux shows in stock. Its where I got mine.

I've been extremely happy with all my orders from there.

Added the geometry correction brackets yesterday. Truck drives significantly better! I didn’t think it drove bad before, but after driving it with the brackets I realized it was as good as it could have been.

I dropped it off to check the alignment and I’ll report back the specs.

Dealer "supposedly" aligned my Mojave with the caster at 3.8 which is the absolute bottom of acceptable.....saw 3.8 in RED on the alignment sheet after I got home. I noticed on the way home that it didn't drive quite right. Took it back and requested that they set the caster closer to 6 and the difference was night and day....Don't let them get away with setting your caster on the low end....

 

[Clv22p]

Caster was definitely low. This was before the geometry brackets

 

[sandifer]

You might want to check the square nuts on the correction bracket's to make sure they are at the correct setting "orientation" if your caster is still low..The dealer installed mine totally wrong and was confused when I brought them the documentation showing that orientation of the nuts mattered..

I installed all of that and it’s correct per the instructions. The alignment I posted was after the lift, but without the geo brackets. I haven’t picked my truck up to show the after settings.

After Geometry correction brackets.

I’ve got the longer lower control arms from the mopar 2inch lift kit. Should I put those on?

@KurtP what do you think?

Sorry. Not on the forum much anymore. What brackets? AEV? If AEV, go a bolt alignment for the next step up. caster is fine” where it is, but youll like 6 better
