Mojave desert build ?

[suspension]

25 Mojave. Will be lifting soon. Want to stay true to the desert theme. Will be doing the rebel front king 12 coil over internal bypass kit. The rear I still have not quite figured out. They offer king piggyback and spring setup. I believe the coil springs are designed with rock crawling in mind. Looking more a speed oriented spring. In the perfect world I run rear coil overs. But not an option. Rear will be 12 inch triple bypass shocks.Overall lift will probably be 4-4.5., 5.13 gears, 37/38 (debating). Also as far as lower control arms…. Not sure yet, either Clayton or metalcloak.
Will be also run rear swaybar relocation. Any input is appreciated.

Help me choose:
Rear springs 4-4.5 inches
Which lower control arms

Preciate it.

I'd go 4" rear springs as I'm guessing you aren't loading your desert go fast rig up heavy. Lowers I'd lean towards metalcloak from your choices, but I would highly recommend the rockkrawler triangulated rear uppers and truss. My mojave is planted in the dirt even at freeway plus speeds with that add and there's much less head toss when hitting bumps and washboards at speed.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I will not really be loading up heavy aside the essentials. I will look into the triangulated setup. I was curious if Johnny jointed arms would wear out premature due to the nature of aggressive desert speeds

The rockkrawler silverback kit comes with a triangulated rear and long arm front and you can choose a 4" spring height. Very smooth ride and I'd imagine pretty good for desert running. They offer a coilover kit you can add too.

Give them a call, I've had great experience talking with their tech team.

Metalcloak is quality as well, I've run all 8 of their control arms and had no complaints.
