Mojave bottoming out

[KSP938]

I have a 2021 Mojave that seems to bottom out on areas that I wouldn't think it would. On road and off. View attachment 206068 I took picture of tag on coil spring. I was hoping that maybe wrong coil was placed on it at the factory. I can't find this number anywhere. Anyone have any

It will do better than any other gladiator soaking up bumps, but you can’t go bombing through the whoops.

looks like, based on the muddy-ness, you might be expecting too much.

That's the same part number as my '21 Mojave has on it for the front springs.

Thank you.

That's just from riding thru field. I haven't even been truly offroad. I was just wanting to make sure all was good. When you had to take back to dealer to get castlenut tightened too spec can't assume anything.

Curious what you mean by bottoming out? I have noticed when i hit a pretty good bump it will engage my bump stops, makes a little sound when it hits.

I think it’s just the hydro bumpstops doing their thing. I noticed it right away after I hit a good bump. I’ve even noticed it on large speed bumps if I bounce down enough. Still getting used to it.

Yeah the hydro bumps will engage 2-3" before you actually bottom out and they will sound like a fairly solid hit since they're going to be stiff.

What did they have to tighten at the dealership?

I was out hitting the dirt last Friday and I was noticing the same thing on the front end. I was getting a definite thud going over some pretty mild stuff at a not so fast speed.

I get the same thing, but in these crappy Houston roads. Lol

Yes the bump stops are definitely
engaging. I was just making sure that this is normal. As sonoranmojave stated nothing would by any means. Also happens on the roadway.

It bottoms out easier at low speed compared to high speed hits. By bottoming out I mean the axle engages the bump stops. It’s not truly bottoming out.

Ruh, ro! Check out the diesel bottom out thread—the one with spring part #s.

Probably fairly normal. My new King bumpstops engage when I hit a speed bump at 30. Lol
