I know this questions probably gets asked alot but I have over researched the topic to the point that my brain is fried. I currently have a 2021 Jeep Mojave with 35s, steel bumpers (well it will have a steel back bumper, just haven't put it on yet), diamond back bed cover and ikamper dlx mini. The bed is usually carrying camera gear, camping gear, recovery gear, etc. The jeep is about to reach 90k miles on it and I have pretty much worn out the suspension so its time for a lift. I have attached two photos to show my current configuration. Once I am done with the 35s I will probably swap to the 37s.

I do not want a spacer lift so I have looked at Rock Krawler, Metal Cloak and and Clayton. The issue that is causing my confusion is the added weight of the over landing gear.

I have a '21 Mojave w/ 35's. I went stock until after my first trip. Just didn't have enough suspension travel left with all the stuff we are 'required' to travel with. I ended up going with a Clayton 2.5" Overland+ lift and Falcon SP2 3.3 Adjustable shocks. This works well for me and I'm pleased with it.

I've been looking at lifts for the last year. I'm going with the Metal Cloak 3" and 37's.

I really wanted to go with 2" and 35"s but its going to look better with 37"s and the Metal Cloak will preform better at 3". The clearance will be better for the occasional off-roading we do do in the mountains (get off the fire roads and hit a few rock roads no rock climbing tho).

Clayton overland plus 2.5" lift with their HD springs in the rear. Pick your poison for shocks.

You’ll be way happier with your breakover on 37”. I haven’t done any hard rock wheeling but there have been a few times in the desert where I’ve been super close on breakover even with a 37” @2” lift.
