Mopar performance LCA and geometry correction brackets

[69charged]

I also just installed correction brackets on the wife’s JLU after doing a AEV 2” spacer lift. Without doing an alignment, I checked it with my phone and it said it was 9 degrees. I left it there till I can get an alignment, but have been driving it. Quite the dramatic change in driving for the better. Even strong crosswinds are not as bad. I have a 1.5” spacer on the front on my Gladiator with the longer mopar arms and it’s ok, but nowhere near hers. I also noticed better bump absorption on hers than mine. The arms are flatter allowing all the bump jarring to go straight up through the springs and shocks vs my arms being angled down slightly which transfers a portion of that jarring force into the upper arm mount, and then to the frame and right into your footwell area. I’m guessing thats what he means, as you can feel the difference in the 2.

When you say the bump compliance was terrible, what exactly was going on?

The correction brackets make the control arm arc up and back because it puts them back closer to parallel to the ground, like stock. With the lift and just longer arms, the frame pivots are above the axle pivots, so it has to arc forward in the initial travel which transfers more of the hit into the frame. The difference in bump compliance was dramatic.

A Jeep speciality shop here in Fenton, Michigan installed my AEV 2” & GCBs (top hole).
Unlimited Offroad.
When I picked it up, I asked about the top hole choice and was told, “We have found it to be best.”

We talked about the LCAs (not installed) and while I did not fully understand (first Jeep), what he said made a lot of sense to me, as to why not.

My ‘22 Mojave rides/drives fantastic. 28K miles on said setup. I will add that I run 10” wide A/Ts on stock wheels during the winter and 10.5” wide R/Ts on 8.5” wide 0 offset wheels during the warmer months.
