Just about wrapped up my new suspension install:
Fox 2.5 w/reservoir
Fox Race hydraulic bump stops (only front so far, rear is in hand but requires welding)
AEV 3.5” HD coils

Also added my 1” Teraflex spacer up front finally. I think that was the right choice as it should sit a bit more even when fully packed out in the rear.

Are those your stock springs??
Those AEV springs are shorter than I thought they would be. The lift comes from the spring rate but I guess not as much droop as longer springs
These are Clayton 2.5” and 2.5” HD compared to OEM with spacers.

They are the springs from the Mopar 2" lift kit.

Between yesterday and today. Replaced all 8 control arms with Teraflex Alpine IR (Independent Rotation) short adjustable control arms. If I had to rebuild one more Johnny joint I was going to scream. And these eliminate jam nuts and articulate on both ends. Entirely maintenance free. No greasing bushings ever again.

Well… I did these today. Differential protectors from Purple Cranium. I was expecting an issue but both went on in like 5 mins. Love the orange under

^ No. went slow removing the factory bolts and same tightening up the new ones. No fluid drippage at all. Now… my Mojave is only 2 months old though…that may make a difference as the cover has never been off..

free alienshade installed! A cousin of mine sold his wrangler and had this left. It’s not a perfect fit, but pretty close.
Get some long ass zip ties to wrap up under the windshield frame to get that slack out
