Does anyone have any informed details on how much lift and increase in tires size will not involve extra work such as extending brake lines, induce death wobble, require spacers etc?

I have a Mojave, and likely will never see the terrain the Mojave was designed for since I'm on the east coast.

Based on various clearance issues I recently experienced in Kentucky, I 'think' that a fair bit of clearance can be achieved with 35" tires, and 1-2 inches of lift.
It would be interesting to know if, will 35's fit on the original factory wheels.
Increasing clearance/lift is all new to me, so I am starting early. I think I have a year before I'll need to replace the tires. When I do, I want to increase the size at that point.

Thank-You.

Check the Tire and Wheels section. I think you can do 35's without a lift.

The Mopar 2" lift kit doesn't require brake line extensions, but is not intended for use on your model. The shocks in the kit would be a major downgrade.

Thanks for the advice. I went to a Jeep Jam in South Carolina last weekend. I spoke with a vendor there about how much lift to go 35 or 37. He told me I'd need to get a 2 inch which was on display. When he showed it to me, I reminded him I had a Mojave which he told me was very familiar with. He said to yank out the Fox Shocks (2 per wheel) and replace them with a single Bilstein. This sounded like dubious advice to me, so I left him alone with his Cheese Nacho's which were getting cold. I appreciate these forums, as no one has a stake in the subject being discussed.

Looks awesome! I don't understand what you mean about disconnecting your sway bar. Are you planning on installing a disconnect for this?

The Mojaves are built with a one-inch lift over the Rubi in the front and wider offset wheels. They are designed for up to 37" from the factory.

Thought about installing manual quick disconnects, but if I do it will be later. It does fine the way it is for now.

Stock height Mojave with 35's on stock rims, love it. I won't do a lift, thinking about quick disconnects though.

Thank you, no, its the knock-off Ebay Metal Bumper. I do like the looks of the Arcus though. To the OP, I have not taken the Gladiator on any real tough off-roading that required heavy articulation yet, but just light off-roading and daily driving it has not rubbed at all.

Thanks for the info. It looks great. I'm trying to prepare as much as possible, so when the factory Falkens need replacing, I am prepared with what I'll need to be doing.
