Mojave 2 inch lift with synergy coils

[Kasper]

Hey Fam,
My first post here long time jeep owner. First off, I’ve used the search and can’t find what I’m looking for.
I have a 23 Mojave sitting on BFG KO2 37’s (35.5) on a stock suspension. I have the AEV spacer lift, Rock Krawler track bars, AEV geo brackets and the mopar 2inch lca’s sitting in a box. I run my truck hard and have already bent two of the stock wheels. (Hence replacing my wheels and tires with the 37’s). When I installed a stubby bumper and rear bed skids I lost about a half inch on the stock suspension. I don’t want to run the spacers as I feel they won’t provide me the quality I’m looking for.
My question for you guys. I’ve looked into adding actual coils instead of the spacers. Synergy’s seems to have a plush coil similar to what the Mojave already has. Calling them I was told the 3 inch coil 8863-30 for the front should net me 2 inches on the Mojave, and the four inch rear coils 8865-40 should net me two inches on the rear of the truck. That last part doesn’t sound right to me as the Mojave has more plush coils and the same ones net 4 on the rubicon. I want to get this right and don’t want to spend the time assembling everything to find out that I have to rip it apart and do it over again. Does anyone with a Mojave have any experience with these and care to chime in. I already have all the components for everything else so I’d rather not start over again.
Picture added for flair.

thank you!!

I was in the same boat as you. bumper and jerry can weight cost me an inch. I just got 3/4' daystar spacers and I'm back to sitting 1/2in above my Rubicon. Still rides the same too.

This is Synergy's chart for the front and it makes sense to me.

I don't see why the 2" lift coil won't get the job done if it's based on rubi weight like they say.




Personally if i ever lift, I'm getting the PRO-X Rocrawler with quad rate springs and Fox elites. Till then a revalve for my specific weight and tire size is about all ima mess with cus the stock stuff is pretty dang good. If you do get springs and swap em out, I'd would do extended mopar LCAs while your in there. the caster gain is so worth it.


edit: just realized you are on a 2in lift. I'd concur with Synergy's recommendation

I would not do the extended Mopar LCA plus the geometry correction brackets. One or the other, but not both. I have the AEV Mojave lift and Geometry brackets and its perfect

That's assuming caster would be too high, but that's not necessarily true. Our 2022 JLUR runs drop brackets and adjustable LCAs because I prefer the caster between 6.5⁰and 7⁰ and it wasn't there with just the drop brackets. One or the other typically gets you into the 5⁰ range and will drive well at that (better than factory), but I'm guessing both with a 2" lift would put it in the mid 6⁰ range. No way to know for sure until it's all installed.

I used Rancho Geometry brackets and the middle hole, if the castor is not where the OP wants it he could always use the bottom hole for a little more caster. I still believe both the longer LCA and Geo brackets will be too much.

I've looked into it the LCA's with geo brackets. with a 2.5 inch lift it puts you well with in the acceptable range $80 shipped was cheap insurance that if I install everything and feel that I need them they are in the garage. Also, if I ever go higher, they are at the ready.

I run Synergy 3” coils, AEV shock extensions, geo correction brackets as well as the Mopar LCA’s. I also bought the LCA’s with the expectation that they would be cheap insurance; they very much exceeded my expectations. I did them after the fact with the synergy springs so I had a good comparison of before and after. The steering tracks much straighter and the steering wheel recenters more quickly than before . I’m running the middle adjustment on my geo correction brackets, so arguably I could have just gone to the top adjustment for more caster. However, my LCA’s remain perfectly parallel to the ground so I’m happy with the street performance and still get a ton of flex off road. It’s a good setup for a frankenlift.
