Mojave and AEV 2” lift

[Badweather]

With the AEV Mojave specific lift is it recommended to also purchase their geometry correcting brackets.

Or the longer mopar arms.

The geometry brackets are almost as expensive as the lift, I was hoping the Mojave might be an exception.

The geometry brackets make a world of difference. I find even with 37s it's way more stable on the highway then it was stock. I opted for the Rancho brackets, they are beefier and cost way less. They can be had for around 200 bucks.

This! I did the exact same thing and recommend it as well. I went with Rancho geo brackets on the middle hole. Caster is much better at 7 degrees and drives like a dream.

As previous stated, the Rancho brackets are better built and cheaper.

It’s this one Rancho RS62118B

I believe RS62118B is the correct part number. I bought mine from Amazon

I used the Rancho brackets because they appeared to be better made with all welded construction.
They have been wonderful.
Set them up as recommended (second hole) and see how it drives for a while.
When you get some free time, go back and drop down another hole and then see how you like that.
Mine is likely around +7.5 caster and it drives amazingly well.
I had it out the other day in pouring rain and it tracks straight and doesn't try to cut right or left when I hit standing water.
It also barely feels crosswinds, whereas before the wind had it all over the road.

This video explains what the brackets do that longer control arms cannot do.

I documented the clearances here.
There's a myth that brackets hang down and create lower contact points on trails.

The Mopar control arms are super cheap and a warranty friendly part. I'm talking them up because I recently bought a pair but haven't installed them yet. I've had the AEV geo brackets on more than one Jeep in the past with good results.

Jeep should just be including the slightly longer Mopar lower control arms on Mojave's and Extreme recon package JL's but don't seem to be.?.?.?.

Get the mopar arms, they are $60 each, warranty friendly, look like factory and for 3" or less lift they are great. Also yes do it, steering geometry is critical
