How much weight does it take to sag a Mojave

Looks great! Have you had a chance to get some drive time with it, how's it handling?

Handles like you have something in the bed but nothing massively heavy. You’ll feel the rear is lower than usual (rear is 1.25” lower than front) which makes the front feel a little light. When taking a turn at speed you’ll feel it a bit but it’s really not that bad. The wind will catch it though and that’s kinda annoying, but that’s expected.

Later this month I’ll be getting a lift and should fix everything, hopefully.

Just my $.02.

In prep for getting my GFC this next week, currently I have the decked system in the back which supposedly weighs around 200lbs. I've increased my spare size to a 35" but in total that likely weighs less than the OE Falken since the GY is ~56lbs.

I added 225lbs of weight to replicate the GFC, so my total rear weight was around 425lbs over stock.

I measured without the Decked system at both my fender flare (XR flares) and from the axle to the bump stop frame.

At the flares it was 1" lower with the extra weight.

At the bump stops it was about 1/2" lower with the extra weight.

Plan is to start with a Daystar 3/4" spacer and remeasure, see how that rides and then go from there.

TLDR, on my truck ~425lbs lowered the rear 1" at the flares.

Got the lift and new rear springs. Ride is much better than before. Doesn’t sway and the floppy rear end feel is gone. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

AEV Mojave 2” lift (but no rear spacer)
Clayton 2.5” HD rear springs
Alignment reset

Next is to decide to go with 35” or 37”. I probably won’t replace the stock rims so 35” most likely
