Lift questions for Mojave

[Mojave2021]

I have ordered a lot of items from Northridge 4x4 over the years and have never had any issues. They are great to talk to if you have any questions and shipping has always been fast. They also seem to always have stuff in stock when nobody else does.

+1 I would vote Northridge as the best vendor on this site. Accurate inventory info, great customer service, and fast, well packed shipping.

Maybe I do, I remember seeing some users on the Wrangler forums comment that. But I may be mistaken. Hopefully I am though and @Challenger85 can call you and order his AEV lift!

I have ordered from Northridge a number of times and never had an issue.

I will edit this to say that I had one issue but it was actually Rancho’s fault. Northridge and Rancho both took care of the issue.

I have ordered from Northridge numerous times and they have been great. Just ordered this AEV kit and the GEO brackets!

Be careful with Northridge. I have not personally ordered from them, but I have heard that they will list products in stock even though they are back ordered, and will charge your card and then just keep pushing back the estimated ship date, potentially for months. I would call them and verbally confirm that they have it in stock before ordering.

I’ve had zero issues from them. I’ve ordered wheels, bumper, etc. quick shipping and excellent customer service.

AEV 2” kit ordered! Is a longer LCA needed? I see some going with geo brackets or Mopar LCA’s for the 2” kit. Are the Teraflex adjustable LCA’s overkill?

I have AEV and went with adjustable front lower control arms, not sure it is necessary but prefer them to Geo brackets. I also did the adjustable track bar, like to recenter.

If money isn’t an issue I’d go for adjustable lca’s. More ground clearance.

How are the rear tires lined up? Any need for rear track bar?

Mine was maybe 1/2" off, i went ahead and added rear track bar.

Can I ask a dumb question, since the Mojave/Rubicon can easily handle 35’s (or even 37s if they run small like the KO2s), why not just add 3/4” or 1” puck spacers all the way around? Can the shocks really not handle that extra inch or so without needing extensions?

 

[Jabtano]

I’m considering lifting it and adding 35’s. First things first, I don’t care if you think I should have bought a Rubicon over a Mojave if I chose to lift it. I bought it, I like it, move on if that’s your contribution here. I’ve googled and tried to read for the last 3 days and I haven’t gotten much. I’m also refusing to change the shocks so either it all works or it doesn’t happen. I know I can fit 35’s with no lift but I don’t want to swap tires and think it looks stuffed and want a lift and not have a viable option.

All I can find is ready lift, which is 4”, that’s too much for me. AEV, which seems to be permanently on back order until the end of time and Fabtech. I want something designed too because I don’t want to experiment with lifts on a solid axle Jeep or be mixing and matching parts I have no idea on.

Is Fabtech any good as far as quality?
Are the components in this kit necessary or overkill?

I’m new to Jeeps and trucks and lifts so my knowledge sucks. Does anyone have any good links for information they’ve found useful or any reason why any of this is needed? I’m not dumb, just uneducated and I read all the threads but I don’t know the ‘why’ behind these components.

TIA!

What size tires did they run with this setup. Link for the video? I didn’t see it.

Just some info on longer LCAs vs geometry correction brackets. The caster can be the same but the geometry correction brackets will ride better over bumps as the more parallel to the ground the control arms are the easier they can move with bumps vs control arms at an angle.

35x12.5r17 Baja Boss MT for this one but most of their builds are running the 37x12.5r17. They have a decent build page for recent builds with all the details at epic-4wd.com.

Cheers
