I originally went with a 2" spacer lift on my mojave and it was ok. Ride was the same as factory, and I added the Mopar LCAs to fix the caster issue. After adding steel bumpers, winch, skids, etc, it became more of a 1" lift, and didn't handle as well, so I went with the MetalCloak 3.5" and it is better than ever. Better ride than factory, more flex, and allowed me to go to 37s without issues. If you are planning on off roading, skip the spacers and go directly to a proper lift. I'm very satisfied with MetalCloak, but Clayton is probably as good.

Game changer, sort of. I've been piecing it together over the last year and still don't have all of the parts included in the kit. Getting there though...

AEV 2" kit and 37s. Works great on and off road and doesn't rub even when flexed out. Since these photos I've added metalcloak sway bar disconnects up front and I bought the rock krawler triangulated 4 link for the rear but haven't had time to install it yet. Eventually I will probably add long arms to the front or drop brackets if I decide to stay more budget friendly. I tend to push freeway speeds in the desert and I'm trying to do all I can to smooth out the ruts and washboards at speed.

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

I have the AEV 2" space lift with the correction brackets and 35's. Wanted to keep the stock suspension (which is built into the extra cost of the Mojave) for now. Works for what I do. The other kits on your list are alot more expensive and extensive in what comes with them. I don't think you can go worong with Metalcloak or Clayton. Super high quality - I have a Clayton lift on my JL Rubicon and love it. Probably will do the same someday on my Mojave when the stock fox shocks crap out and I don't feel bad about buying something new.

I didn’t check either, but their control arms are in my opinion the best on the market period. I’m personally a huge fan of Frankenstein lifts. Meaning don’t buy a kit. Many of them seem to check some boxes, but not all, and are usually missing at least a couple important things. If it were me, I’d use Teraflex control arms and springs, Steersmarts for front track bar, tie rod, and drag link, Clayton for the rear track bar, and whoever you prefer for shocks, that work well with your Mojave, and your goals for the ride.
