Mojave Suspension Lift/Strengthen - Double Check My Work

[MVTV]

I've added a canopy and roof top tent to my 2023 Mojave and looking to add some heavy duty springs to combat the sag (especially when I add a few passengers, dog and camping gear). Plus, maybe a little lift A shop close to me in Minneapolis wants to do the following and I want a second opinion before committing ... thanks in advance!

- Clayton Off Road Jeep Gladiator 2.5" HD Triple Rate Rear Coil Springs
- AEV Spacer 2" Lift Kit Kit - do not install rear coil spring spacers

Picture for your time

Sounds like solid budget option to me. You can swap to a front spring instead of a spacer when you eventually get bumper/winch on there. I would check that this will come with the AEV rear track bar correction bracket as well. Your gonna want it to keep the rear centered and to keep the roll center where it should be

Just curious, is there another setup you’d recommend that would keep the fox shocks but address added weight?

the AEV kit should run extension brackets to keep your stock shock. Personally I run a 3/4 spacer lift all around and I have Airlift bags in the rear. I run em with full open deflators to daily (so they don't impact ride all when unloaded) and I run 10-15 psi for my Camper and 7-9 for my RTT setup. I like it cus It keeps my truck OEM+. If your not against lift like me the AEV kit, is a solid option if your trying to keep your Mojave a Mojave. Your shops plan to just do a full spring in the rear is a solid idea for now. You can even call AEV (they are super nice) And ask them for their opinion with what your looking to do. odds are their Mojave AEV spacer lift with swap to dual sport springs is what their gonna recommend. From here you'll need to put down some miles and see what else your truck will need. possibly a better steering linkage ASSY and track bar.

If your just looking to hold the weight, Bags. If you want legit springs your gonna have to lift to get access to springs with great load capacity. If you wanna stay OEM and cheap. get Mopar extend LCAs (these are like 70 bucks piece, great budget option. I run em) JLUXR front springs ( get the 392 ones if you have a steel bumper and winch or if you plan on getting em, these are a 2in lift as well.) Then get Shock extension brackets from someone like Rock Jock (to keep your OEM Fox Shocks). And then pair with whatever rear heavy load 2in lift spring you want. ( if you wanna stay cheap and you don't mind neon green, IronMan4x4 +600lb payload 2in lift rear coils are cheap. In fact I have a set you can have for free if you pay for shipping)

Just food for thought.

If your thoughts are to keep the Mojave stocks, what about the Clayton 1.5" lift springs. I believe they have a heavy duty version.
Maybe give @Clayton Off Road a call.

Awesome. I’ll look into those. Thanks!

This size kit will work with some extensions! This is a pretty common set up for the Mojave guys.
