Mojave frame front shock mounts limitations?

[Giersz]

I want to find out what are shocks possible for Mojave frame and its new frame shock mounts.
Can anyone confirm what are the limitations with Mojave frame for mounting shocks.
For example Falcon 3.3 or FOX 2.5.

On FOX webpage all shocks are excludes Mojave model. Anyone tested what shocks will actually fit Mojave?

Please do not write that changing Mojave shocks is stupid. My Gladiator is Overland but it got Mojave frame with all reinforcements so for example Synergy Front Track Bar and Sector Shaft Brace do not fit because of frame reinforcement. I have just standard shocks.
I want to be sure what shocks I can order.

How did that happen???

Yes- this sounds like an interesting story - pray tell...

I looked at the Fox 3.0 as an option on my Mojave. I believe the difference is the bolt size. It is larger on the Mojave than on the other and the cast/machined ends of the shock mount wont work with the larger bolt.

@KurtP?

Another request for the story here. How does a matchup like this happen? Error or purposefully done?

correct. Its a different bolt diameter. Can be made to work but requires custom fabrication.

Thanks for reply.

If it is just the bolt than it should be no problem in changing shock bushing to bigger, unless it must be very big.

The story is very simple - this is Europe version. In Europe due to some stupid ECO regulations we did not get Rubicon/Mojave version and 3.6V6 engine. For JL only 2.0T is available but for JT only 3.0 EcoDiesel in Sport/Overland trim.

EU Overland comes with Mojave hood but low fenders, Mojave frame, Mojave axles with cast iron knuckles etc. Also frond parking sensors, and full time 4 wheel drive ( transfer case with 2H, 4H auto, 4H part time, N, 4L) with Diesel are standard.
There are a lot of differences.

That is really interesting and cool! Have you even seen another Gladiator in Poland?

I have seen some on roads, maybe 4 - not much
You have to remember that Jeep Gladiator sales in Europe officially started in the beginning of 2021 - 4 months ago.

Anyone know if I can put Mojave shocks on the JT Rubi I ordered last week?
