I can say with certainty that the 2" Mopar lift netted me more that the advertised 2". I didn't take measurements, but it takes more effort to get in when compared to my old JKU with a 2.5" lift on 35s
That 2" is likely based on the weight of a Rubicon or similar. A sport will be lifted higher, in most cases. We've found that with swapping springs around like putting various Rubicon springs under other levels - the gain varied with the truck it went under. For a given rate, a spring will compress more with a heavier truck than with a lighter truck. (assuming it was done properly with control arms loosened and then tightened after the work was done)

For a Mojave it's about the only lift you can do without changing/messing up all the stuff that makes it a Mojave.
@Metalcloak makes a Gamechanger kit for the Mojave........installing mine now

Well considering that I'm budgeting between 5-7k for my Metal Cloak lift the AEV is definitely on the cheaper side of things. Question, why didn't you go with the aev correction brackets?
I hear you, but after spending thousands on my sxs, trying not to go crazy with another toy. :)

Reading other reviews and suggestions on here. Was hearing several went with the skyjacker over aev. Price mainly.

Mines a very similar build to yours. Mojave AEV 2” 37” Baja boss and keeping it there. However I added Armorlite about a year or so ago and it’s been so worth it.

Did you re-gear with the 37" Baja Boss?

Nope. I live on the east coast right by the beach so it’s very flat and the 4.10s seem fine.

A suggestion from someone that has done this and is price sensitive , get the AEV for Mojave lift and add the Mopar slightly longer lower control arms (Part Number: 68322798AA) $80 for the pair.

I did not go with the geo brackets, it drives just like stock to me...maybe hold off on that part till you see if it really matters and if so you can always add as they will be a project in themselves.
Quadratec says these won't fit the JT, but clearly you used them so safe to order instead of the AEV GEO brackets?
