Help, the Jeep Dealer can't seem to find the answer!!!

[Disc Dog Guy]

I recently purchased a 2022 Gladiator. It's the Base model with the 3.6L and a 6-speed manual. I am trying to find out what suspension differences there are between my Jeep and the higher end models. Not the Shocks, but the actual upgrades they install from the factory. I am planning on the 2" Mopar Suspension kit. I really want it to be Desert trailing worthy Gladiator. Anyone know???

If you want a desert rated Gladiator why not just get the Mojave springs and shocks…? Everything else except the wheels and tires are about the same as far as I know.

Not entirely.
Mojave comes with rear lockers and it has the wide Dana 44 axles. You'd get the wide axles and 4.1 gears in the max tow, but not the standard sport.
Mojave also is programmed to allow you to run higher speeds in 4 low. Up to 50 I think, but I'm not sure on that.
Suspension- wise, the Mojave has a stiffened frame, upgraded reservoir shocks, different springs, hydraulic jounce bumpers, upgraded cooling features, and I believe a few more odd and end differences, including a steel hood and iron knuckles.

If you're doing a full suspension replacement lift, there is no difference or almost no difference. A sport on a Mopar 2 is almost identical as a rubi/jave on a Mopar 2 (from a purely suspension standpoint, there are lots of non-suspension differences)

And there’s the rub. It’s those non-suspension systems that add up to make significant differences for wheeling. But if it’s purely suspension he’s after, ok. . .

Don’t forget about tire size!
