You call it a "vice". I would look at it more like an addiction. It's always going to be there.

As long as I don't admit it, I don't have a problem, get with the program.

Same here I went with a 1 inch spacer lift all around and the mopar lift control arms, adding 1 inch wheel spacers this weekend and probly the same best top sun-rider you have. After that I’m good I like the way it drives off-road I can do donuts and not feel like I’m gana tip over also it handles great on the freeway. My last jeep WJ had all the aftermarket parts you could want on it and honestly wasn’t that fun to drive around town and on the freeway but off-road it was a BEAST. I learned from that experience and decided to keep this jeep moderately modified.

So everyone would recommend the 2” aev lift and 37’s? I have a 21 Mojave! Definitely don’t want to mess up the smooth ride it has. Any great loss of power with the 37’s? Was thinking of Nittos but also like the KO2’s. Thank you

AEV lift, control arm brackets & 37s gives you a VERY capable rig that rides great. My brother says it rides better than stock.

Done???
What???
Quitting modding your Jeep is like , quitting smoking or losing weight, we all do it all the time, we get real good at it! You are way ahead of me with tires and lift kit but I have spent at least $14,000 or so on a “stock” Mojave! Next Venture full belly skid will be next what’s a couple more thousand, then perhaps I’ll be done!
Then again the Relentless Fabrication high clearance rear bumper is something I should have perhaps, but then I’ll be done!…..Jack

First, this is my experience (there are a plethora of other opinions).

Ride feels like stock, did add the longer mopar lower control arms but not the relocation brackets...again I feel no difference from stock in driving /riding feel plus I don't like how they look from the side. With the light, slightly smaller 37 KO2s the performance hit is small, it will hold 8th at 75 on flat ground and even some slight inclines then it down shifts to 7th like its supposed to. Still feels peppy when you rev it up.

You got deeper pockets than me, lol, including my getting the wrong tire error early on, I have about 4K into this.

I did lose some power after adding 37's (though the Geolanders I added are heavier than KO2s). Still is OK, but a definite difference. I plan to regear from the stock 4:10 to 4:88 this spring.

I have a friend who is addicted to drinking brake fluid. When I confronted him about it, he said he can stop anytime.

Looks amazing. I have a Mojave with 2" AEV & 35s. Going to 37's (should have done that to begin with). Have you re-geared? My KO2's with 12,000 will be on market place soon, cheap.

I started off the same way...at 1100 miles on the 2023 mojave. AEV 2" spacer and 37s (kanati mud hogs thanks to a deal on Walmart that cost me $412 shipped to the house). Added 1.5" wheel spacers. A few months later it was front bumper and winch. 6 months later it was drop brackets, sway bar disconnects, and the rock krawler triangulated 4 link rear. I'd say the 4 link made the biggest difference in ride. Head toss when hitting bumps at an angle is almost non-existent thanks to the lack of a rear track bar. The rear feels more planted now and it's actually harder to get it to drift when cornering at speed in the dirt. Only taken it on some washboarded dirt roads since the changes but I'm very happy with it... for now. They are never done. These pics were before the last 3 suspension changes so hopefully there will be less 3 wheeling now.
