Just took the 2.5 hour trip down to the coast last night. The wander I had from the factory is noticeably less and the ride is better than stock. Just goes to show, most people have different experiences. I've owned and driven a lot of Jeeps and this is by far the best highway driving Jeep I've owned. Especially after the AEV lift was installed.



Surprising, my understanding is the Mojave is already 1" higher than the other JTs using the same lower control arms which would put caster pretty low, add 2" on top of that and I would think you would definitely need some caster correction. I added a 1.5" spacer on a non Mojave and the Mopar lower control arms definitely added back some caster and helped with the wander on the highway.

I see you have the relocation brackets I didn’t think those came with the 2” lift they were a separate item. Those would definitely make a noticeable improvement over just the spacer lift.

2in aev with geo brackets and 37 bfg. No noticeable difference in ride quality.
Minimal power loss. I do not have a heavy foot and no hills where I live. Still averages 17.5

Good to see that the 37's fit well on the stock rims. I am doing the same 10/11. Did you use any spacers? Do you have any rub at full turn?

No rubbing. Backspacing is different on Mojave wheels compared to all other models

I could be wrong but I think that square washer is in the wrong position. It could effect the alignment. I went with the middle setting.

I stand corrected. I was looking at the pic wrong. My bad.

Got my 37's installed yesterday. Really happy with the look and no rub even at full turn. Also, I like the fact that the tires don't stick out to far beyond the flares. I had bought some 1.5" spacers in case there was some rub. I may add one to see how it looks before returning them.

The Mojave AEV doesn't come with a steering stabilizer. They do come with the Carrier Bearing Spacer but that's to correct the geometry of the driveshaft. You can fit 35's with no lift and have plenty of spacing with no rub. I'm adding the AEV lift to fit 37's. I also did a ton of research and there are very limited on the Mojave lift options and to my knowledge, there is no Mopar one.

There are 3, maybe 4 lift options for the Mojave out there that allow you to keep the stock suspension you paid 10k for. Readylift, Fabtech, Metalcloak all have Mojave specific lift options available today. No Mopar lift option though.

So you have no lift, spacers or anything with your 37s?

If you go back some in this thread, I have the AEV 2 inch Mojave lift. The 35's would have shown to much of the wheel well's for my liking. Other than color, my jeep looks almost identical to 4573davidb's above.

So you have no lift, spacers or anything with your 37s?
