Mojave suspension - rough ride

I may try another set of shocks to see if that fixes the issue.
any recommendations on brands/models?

I wouldn’t do that. I’d check your suspension to make sure everything is functioning properly and rebuild your shocks. You’d either be spending a pile of money to do it right, or be downgrading to a lower end shock design.

How many miles? For non-rebuilt w/o schrader vavles you are looking at 40k-70k need rebuild. (i keep a spare and just do it myself now). a shop costs $600-$800 to rebuild.

Depending on how hard you wheel it. I've noticed that those plastic speed bumps push the pressure out faster.

those that have been rebuilt, i would lift the vehicle and refill every 10,000 miles. $200 total to have a diy nitrogen kit.

Also those hydraulic bump stops are NOT rebuildable. so go head start looking for rebuildables around 100k.

Normal for any performance rebuild shock. raptor/mojave

Contact FOX for a rebuild, cheaper than new, and takes time. I think they were a month out when I had mine done. https://service.ridefox.com/account/login

Have you seen the price on the shocks under the Mojave? I have a '24 and I think they're great. Compared to Rubicon's I drove, the Mojave was more comfortable. Although I get a kick out of finding a big dip, or something like it, where the shocks do there thing. It just floats over and the sound of the shocks keeping the wheels planted is a rush. Also, on rough roads, dirt, rock etc......sweet!

OEM tires are C rated, a lot of 35” tires a E rated. That’s a stiffer sidewall. Heavier tires ( unsprung weight ) also needs to be accounted for. Temps make a difference as well.

these are just a few things. Plenty of threads on this topic. Good luck.

Tire PSI is the first question to ask when someone says their ride is too rough.

Rule out the easy, it could just be overinflated tires.

Plus when people swap to bigger tires, sometimes they do not drop the PSI for the higher load carrying capacity of the bigger tires.

Base your (road) tire inflation on your wear pattern. Your tire shop should be able to advise. In my case, it was increase pressure to keep proper footprint for onroad safety and good wear pattern.
