Information about the jks mfg lift kit for jt MOJAVE

[Stingray77]

I’ve been running the JKS J-Kontrol lift before they came out with the ‘Mojave’ specific lift for a little over a year and have put 15k miles on it. I haven’t had any issues, and the ride quality is great even before I changed from the stock shocks. I’m running 37s in these pictures. Has done great off-roading at high speeds (60 in whoops) and rock crawling. Great company as well.

I've had the JKS 3.5inch JSpec lift on mine since February of 2020 and have zero complaints about the ride quality or performance of the lift.

I’m glad you’ve had good luck, but they have a known problem with their bushings, both fixed and articulating. If you experience this, they don’t have a fix. They ghosted me and I’m stuck with $1000 of garbage control arms on my garage floor. But they keep putting those bushings in their arms.

I’ll definitely watch out for the bushings, thank you. I’m still running stock control arms so when I change them I’ll look elsewhere.

That would be my suggestion. Their springs are fine. They use fox for shocks typically, which are also fine. But I’d never touch their control arms or swaybar links ever again. BDS is the same company and uses the same bushings. I haven’t seen a better control arm than teraflex IR (independent rotation). Zero maintenance, they never loosen up, no jam nuts, and amazing articulation.

I’ll definitely go with teraflex for control arms. I’m waiting on sdi to release there e-link system for sway bar links, I love their shocks. Thank you for the info

Any time. Me too! I’ve got EcliK shocks and cannot wait for the swaybar links. It’s the only reason the jks links are still being nursed along. That’s the only jks item still on the jeep. I forgot, but not surprising, I used to have the jks front track bar. It also failed miserably.

Run as fast as you can from JKS. And I’d personally add teraflex to your short list.

Teraflex put out some junk years ago that made me turn away from them.

Arms with crap bushings and arms that rotate in the middle (as if that helps misalignment). They have a long arm kit with long lowers and short uppers. They had a junk high steer kit.

I have the 3.5" J-Kontrol kit with the 2.5" IFP shocks on my Sport. Couldn't be happier with it. Ride quality is better then for sure. The kit you have listed looks like a great options, seems to be an identical kit but re-uses the factory mojave shocks.
