Not the end of the world, but I’m having some minor rusting on my hydro bump stops on my Mojave. I noticed it when I was putting on my taraflex leveling kit. Educated guess would be the boot that is around it is holding water and not draining. It’s held tight at the base with a ziptie. I took my stuff off and I’m gonna leave it that way, but none the less you guys might want to put a drain hole at the base. This truck is only 3 months old, so I could only imagine if I had caught it a year or so down the road, especially if it’s driven in a very salty environment (winter up north). Just giving you guys a heads up. Happy Jeeping

Leveling kit? Surprised you would need that, I looked at a couple Mojave’s today and they seemed to sit a little nose high.

It deff had some rake to the front. I did the 1.5 by taraflex. They come with 2 spacers, a 1” and a .5” for your own desired taste. I did the 1.5” (total) and now it sits nose high lol. I do have a lot of weight in the bed (a decked box filled with tools) so I may take the .5” out.

Not a fan of drilling holes without knowing the results ahead of time.

The Mojave comes with internal bypass shocks meaning you should not alter the ride height unless you are correcting it back to stock height due to additional weight. You want to stay within the bypass zone otherwise ride and handling will be adversely affected.
