Mojave Lift Dilemma

[GypsyMech]

AEV doesn't do that as far as I know, sell a spring lift without shocks. They do sell a lift with cheaper Bilstein 5100 shocks., which can always be re-sold if you want as they are a popular shock for the JT.
But MetalCloak will sell a lift anyway you want it pretty much, and I think Clayton will as well.
You can order that from MetalCloak without even talking to them, it is part of the options when you order.
Both Clayton and MetalCloak seem like good people to talk to, though. And they are a good resource for questions.

I've a Clayton lift, it worked better than anything Jeep puts out,

I can't see putting that much into shocks and running a 2" spacer lift.
AEV, MetalCloak, and Clayton all offer nice 2.5" / 3" spring lifts that can ride better then stock.
Other brands no doubt also have good options. But Skyjacker is not one I would pick. In the Jeep lift world they are not a big player.

Love my Clayton lift, just added Dynatrac xd60 axles and the Clayton diesel springs. Front doesn't collapse and the ride is better than factory ever will be.

Unlike most brand springs Synergy gives you what they advertise for lift I have found. Put a steel bumper with their 2” springs you would have a spring rate like your OE springs and with a new bumper you may be a hair under 2”. I had similar ideas to yours. I think tuned shocks are great “ for what they are tuned for “ thats why I went with Bilstein 8100 DSAs because of the adjustability so it can drive great on “ANY SURFACE” by turning the knobs on the reservoir in seconds. I went from 3” to 4” front synergy's and 3 rear plus a lot of other things . Rides great everywhere. 2” synergys would be fire for you

I installed the JKS Mojave specific lift with adjustable track bars. The only change I made was shaving down the aluminum bumpstop risers they include with the kit. They were simply too tall. 37’s, 5.38 gears, and some AEV wheels keep the tires tucked and not throwing crap at everyone else on the road.

Stay away from SkyCrapper. They don’t make good lift kits for ANY vehicle.

While on the Mojave subject, has anyone addressed the front sway bar disconnect? I have JKS quick disconnects, but thinking of switching to ROC JOC Anti-Rocs? Apex is another option....

As far Apex, I ran their AutoLynx disconnects and they are awesome. I'm thinking of trying the AirLynx on my Mojave since I don't crawl much. I like to go fast and hate washboards.

Get some synergy 2 inch springs. They are closest to Mojave spring rate. I just got done installing a franken 2.5 lift with their springs and kept my fox shocks with 2 inch extensions. Can confirm they ride now is night and day difference than when I had spacers on my stock Mojave springs.

Are the Synergy springs close to the X spring rate or standard Mojave springs?

My FIL knocked down his first bull at 65 yo. He was so excited he couldn’t see straight. Season opened at 0600 and not 20 minutes later he put this one in the dirt. I happen to live about 20 mins away, but he didn’t want to put the elk in the Glady because it wasn’t even two months old and still had paper tags. I told him it’s a Jeep, put that shit in there!
