They've had that for a long time, and it was confirmed in the JL forum by teraflex that it is just an OEM spec rzzeppa, not like the JK one which gained extra clearance. Id reach out to teraflex to see if something changed in the last year before purchasing. If you do and I'm wrong please let me know as id much rather avoid u joints and vibrations.

That's certainly disappointing. Appreciate the clarification.

I did the same. Do you disconnect the sway bar? I do and the only issue I have is the shocks fully extend and make an annoying clunk. I’m waiting for them to blow out but so far so good
Yep, same here. When I disconnect the sway bar, the shocks are the limiting factor. I want to find longer aftermarket shocks that have the same characteristics as these, but I feel like I'm going to have to spend a ton of money.

When it comes to replacing the front driveshaft to run a higher angle joint under extreme flex I thought the number/length was 29 inches on the extended front shock.

Metal Cloak GC 3.5" with Mickey AT's (came out to 4") on +30 offset wheels. Drives very nice. As far as must do's, other than follow directions to a tee or have a professional install it... Buy quality parts and make sure you have tools that can handle the job. The torque plus angle on these bolts are a PITA. I'm a big proponent of complete systems. Be prepared, the 37's are going to put a lot more stress on your "parts", like ball joints. As you will hear/see in this forum, and has been repeated ad nauseum, "buy once, cry once."

Love this setup....doing the same to my Mojave in a couple months. Could you get a measurement from pavement to roof top for overall height?

Another Mojave owner question......is it true that our Mojave's come with a 1" lift from the factory? A spacer, I presume, did you pull that out before installing the lift? Thanks

No spacer, the front spring is a bit longer since it's soft er and can net a small amount of height.

Thank you. I'm pulling my 2" AEV spacer lift off and installing the Clayton 3.5....I'm curious of the overall height difference. Mojave Factory 1" + 2" AEV = 3" (sort of) vs Clayton 3.5.

The Clayton will probably closer to 4.5± inches of lift in the front, they take 1-1.5 inches of rake out and measure from the rear so the rear will be about 3.5-4 and the front will be 4.5-5. also I forgot to mention that the Mojave is only taller in the front not the rears.

Make sure you have geo brackets or adjustable arms to get the caster and rear pinion angles back to decent levels.

Yes....going with the full Clayton kit, all adjustable arms, etc. When we did the original AEV 2", I opted for the geo brackets. I'll be selling the AEV, once I swap. Mojave springs and Fox shocks too, 38K miles on them....might have some value?
