Going to be installing my lift tomorrow.

I have a metal stuby bumper with a winch. Should I use a .5 inch spacer in the front? I read somewhere that the lift was already designed for it.
Their front springs are more lift than the rear. If you want to level it completely they say use a small spacer. If you want to maintain a rake (even with the bumper) just leave it as it’s already accounted for mostly.

Falcon 2.1 or Fox 2.0, they are both in my budget right now. Which one are people happier with?

Typically, what I tell people is that the Fox 2.0 shocks work great for your average build that will be a daily driver/weekend warrior most of the time. They're slightly firmer than the stock Fox shocks, but definitely still a softer shock that's for the most part very comfortable. The Falcon shocks are great if you are looking for a little bit more performance, maybe if you like driving a little bit faster or plan on wheeling it a little bit more. They are definitely a bit firmer than the Fox 2.0s but do come with some level of adjustability for you to play around with. Hope this helps!

Awesome. Going towards Falcons, I do a lot of highway and beach. Now need to decide if I order the 2.5” ride right now or wait for a Black Friday deals. Gladiator should be here end January but want to get the best deal

clayton 3.5. Mohave fox shocks with evo shock extensions and bump stops. Used stock rubicon shock bolts and made my own shock bolt sleeves using a sheet of metal. That way I didn’t have to drill out the shock mounts and can go back to other shocks with no issues. This was after I first installed the lift, still didn’t have rear lower control arms on in these pics.

Got to test the new lift out a little. Still running it with 32 inch tires, but man what a difference it makes. Rides great and allowed me to take the harder lines. Well worth the investment.

Any November discounts? Looking to purchase the 2.5" kit. Any issues installing on a Mojave, besides the shock issue?

I have -12mm offset, 4.5 in backspacing 17x9 wheels, with 37 x 12.50 tires on a Clayton 2.5" RideRight and have absolutely no rubbing anywhere lock to lock.

Thats what I was hoping to hear. I have a set of BR Warlords that I plan on using with 37's and the Clayton 2.5" lift.
