Jeep Gladiator Mojave rear coil spring options: bags, Max Tow coils, Timbren bump stops

[ChrisinBend]

Hello all, I've seen a few threads on this topic but I've got a few specific questions that maybe others have solved.

I'm planning on carrying moderate loads in my Mojave and I know that this can be an issue with the Mojave suspension. My current plan is airbags which I'm not a huge fan of, but I do know that they are effective. I don't want to lift it with the Icon or Synergy coils. My questions are this:
1. Has anyone installed the Timbren rear bump stops on a Mojave?
2. I've read some have swapped the Max Tow coils in the rear with good results. I've tried finding part numbers for these but it is vague. Quadratec sells Mopar rear coils but identifies then with a "spring code" which I've had no luck identifying. I've pasted a screenshot below regarding this.

I added 3/4 inch Daystar spacers and it works for me

If you only plan on adding a load/pulling trailer/weight in bed sometimes, the air bags are the simplest way to go. Inflated to 5psi you won't even know they are back there.

I took “White Rabbits” RIP Chris advice and went with Max tow springs on my 21 Mojave , max tow springs are 1 3/8” shorter then Mojave springs and he recommended as I do the ICON
1 3/8” aluminum spring spacers . I have a RSI cap and a ARB elements fridge in back all the time, ride is great I tow a 24’ camper (gvwr 4100 pounds ) and it all works.
My problem with bump stops and airbags is if going off-road I would think they both limit articulation and I have grown to embrace articulation! I had air bags on two Tahoe’s and a Suburban total of 18 years but I never asked those trucks to do what I am with the Glady….Jack

Do you know the part number or spring codes for the max tow coils?

I just put on Mojave X springs in the rear with airlift 1000 air bags on my 2021 Mojave. Haven't loaded it up yet, but brought the rear back up for the amount I carry on a daily basis (prob 100-150 lbs). Rides really well.

Just had my shocks rebuilt (74k miles) and during that swap out put in the Air lift 1000. I've got a bed rack, RTT, and fridge back there. Put 10 psi in the bags after putting it back on the ground and the bed raised up about an inch. The drive home was amazing!

You could always install frame/axle air bags instead of in spring air bags. Just another option. I have no problem with articulation when wheeling. But then again, I didn't have articulation issues when I had the in spring air bags. They do cost more though.
