Mojave + Mopar Lift ...

[dayusmc]

The Mojave springs are a little soft for me.

Question, isn't the Mojave 1.5 inches taller than the Rubicon? The Mopar lift is 2 Inches over stock Rubicon height and on my Sport I got around 2.5" out of it.

Would you get 2 inches out of the MOPAR lift on the Mojave? or just .5 inches?

 

[dayusmc]

I think the reason the Mojave sits higher in the front than the Rubicon is because the top spring isolator sits on the base of the Hydro bump stop.

I ordered the springs from the Mopar 2" lift and also the bottom isolators (incase they are different).

My question for anyone that put the Mopar lift on your Rubicon, did the lift take out the Rake? I like my gladiator to sit level, no rake, I am trying to figure out if I need a 1/2" front spacer also ...

Nope

For some reason the Bottom Isolators for the Mopar lift have 2 different part numbers? Does anyone know if they are actually different? I was going to use the Metalcloak ones, but don't want to if it will mess up something...

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.

Thank you. I also have the fox 2.5 elites, but i drilled out the stock bushings. Not sure if I'm happy with how thin they are now. Are you happy with this mod? Any additional tips? Recommend?

 

[dayusmc]

I am definitely happy with it this way. I did not want paper thin bushings. I literally bought $350 worth of Teraflex and Fox bushings to figure this out...

Cut away as much of the rubber as you can. Than use a wire wheel to take the rest off. Once it is all off, cut some little lines in the sleeve holding the two ends together, don't go to deep. Then heat the sleeve and work them apart ..

Right and left is the reason for the different part numbers.

I see that in the instructions, but are they actually different, like a different orientation?
The Metalcloak ones are the same both sides.

Thank you sir for all you have done to figure this out and sharing it. Three cheers!

Sorry, that I don’t know. Seems like they’d be interchangeable but I’ve never dealt with them.

On myJTR I have the Mopar 2 inch lift. It lifted it 2 inches F&R. Fox 2.5 non res shocks that are just OK. The rears are weak and allow pogo in the rear. I like the springs, nice and straight . I'm thinking about the Accutune Fox 2.5s remote res and adjustable. Just waiting for a solid 2nd opinion of how good they are. I don't like stiff.
BTW,, I have 37s and have installed a Fox ATS steering stabalizer and it's the best thing ever. It's on rails at 80MPH.
Seems that you could stiffen the ride with the Synergy springs with the Fox 2.5s adjustable.

 

[dayusmc]

I have the Fox ATS also. I am going to give the Mopar 2" springs a try. The 2.5" Elites have nice dampening, I don't have any complaints with them at all.

I don't take my Mojave off-road, so I don't need the extra long Synergy springs anyway.

I was actually going to buy the Mopar lift from the start. I decided against it because I didn't need the shocks or control arms. But since then I found out I could buy the springs separately, so I will give it a try. I ordered the springs and isolators already, but it will probably be a few weeks before they get here...
