I wouldn’t level it. With the soft suspension, any load in the back will make ride nose high, which is one of the stupidest looks possible.
Indeed, the Carolina Squat might be one of the worst things to happen to a truck but at this time I have nothing loaded in back, I don’t haul often or tow at all. My plan is to go with the Clayton overland kit plus an RSI Smartcap which at that point, the TeraFlex leveling kit will be long gone. Leveled trucks look great, in my opinion. A nose high truck that is loaded in back, not so much.

If anyone is having trouble installing the front right bump stop nut and bolt. Consider removing the first 1/2" of threads so the nut slips on in the correct orientation to catch the threads. Photo shows the bolt after mod.

The 1” factory lift upfront and taller hood definitely help with the leveled look but the Mojave has rake, at least 3/4” when I measured it completely stock so the 1” TeraFlex spacer would be more than enough but I do have a steel bumper waiting to be installed when it’s not to hot in Vegas so I did the full 1.5” spacer. Do not skip out on the bump stops, they’re a pain to install but I highly recommend getting those installed with this kit.
Probably a dumb question, so apologies in advance. Does the lift kit require any adjustment to the stock Fox shocks on Mojave?

Not a dumb question, I did nothing to adjust the Fox shocks as they’re placed out of the way of the parts you need to install for this kit. Some might argue that shock extensions are needed but I have yet to find a need for them or anything below a 2” lift. However, I highly recommend adjustable LCA’s or MOPAR LCA’s to return some of that caster. I think I spent about $80-$90 on them.

The guy I talked to at Fox yesterday said up to an inch in front would be fine without shock or jounce extensions unless you're maxxing out travel. He was a bit vague about limit straps. I left the conversation with no more information I had going in. I guess a fella would have to install lift/spacers and put each axle at full droop and compression and see if the shocks were topping and bottoming out.
