Mojave + Mopar Lift ...

[dayusmc]

I have a 2020 Mojave with 3 piece Rubicon steel bumper and steel skid plate, the rest is stock. I have tried Clayton 2.5" springs and Synergy -30 springs in the front and do not like either. I do no take my Mojave off road.

I am going to switch to either Mopar 2" lift springs or XR springs. My question is to anyone with Mopar 2" lift. Did the Mopar 2" lift actually raise your MOJAVE 2" inches?

Haven't seen them on a Mojave but even the rubicons get closer to 3" of lift or of them. If you're just trying to level out the front you'd be better off with stock springs and a 1-1.5" spacer in my opinion. What didn't you like about the springs you've tried? Ride height? Stiffness? Ride quality? Did you address the shocks topping out with that much lift? Need details.

What are you running for shocks?

 

[dayusmc]

I have Fox 2.5" Elite Shocks in it. They are longer than stock, so they don't top out.

I don't like the ride of the springs I have tried so far. The Claytons were way to stiff, the synergy front springs are better, but not what I am looking for.
I am also going to 37" tires, I am looking for about 2" of lift over what my Mojave was stock and also don't want any rake. So I guess I need either 1.5" in the back and 2" in front.

I also already have bumpstops, longer sway bar end links, drive shaft drop, and adjustable front and rear upper control arms already on it...

damn the synergy was that bad?

 

[dayusmc]

It isn't that bad, but still not what I am looking for on the street.
I want something similar to my wife's JLU with the XR suspension. That is why I am considering the Mopar 2" lift springs. But I am hoping someone with a Mojave that has put the Mopar lift can give me some insight.

were they sporty stiff? needed weight to cycle or? I run a bit of weight and i've been looking at the ones for a 1in lift. I just want to know how they felt. I want to run elites as well. and on that note, did you're elites bolt right up? or did you need some bracketry for em? TIA

The synergy feel more bouncy. The XR springs feel stiffer than the Synergy springs, but nothing like the Clayton springs.

As far as the 2.5" elites on the Mojave, you need different bushings for the front shocks. The back shocks bolt right up. I ordered the back shock lower bushings (both the hourglass poly part and the inner sleeves) and out them in the bottom of the front shock. I used the back lower hourglass poly part in the front top. I ordered the falcon"Mojave" bushings and took them apart and used the inner sleeves...

Damn! thats a bit more work. Thanks. I'll save this for later.

The Poly bushing part number is 014-11-025 (You need 4), you will put them in the front top and bottom of the Fox Elite Shocks to fit the 14mm sleeves.
The bottom 14mm sleeve part number is 213-28-000-B (you need 2).
Then you need the Falcon Mojave bushings. They are pressed into the rubber part. When you cut them apart, you will you the metal sleeves, they fit into the poly bushing 014-11-025... They are a PIA to take apart. The above picture is the Falcon sleeves I took apart next to the stock 12mm sleeves that came in the Fox 2.5" Elite front shocks.

I guess I will try the Mopar 2" lift springs in my Mojave. Now I just have to find the correct part numbers. I know there are a few different versions of the kit...

If you want to maintain the ride quality of the Mojave I would use the AEV Mojave specific spacer lift with the relocation brackets.
