Looks like the owner before you was an idiot. Did it fix the bounce?

No idea yet. There is a set of filled in potholes that usually produces the effect. Just down from work. I'll find out on the way home tonight for sure. I've already tightened all bolts on the lift kit. Plus it's only on the drivers side. Lift only has maybe 3-4k miles on it. I'm unsure of where to go after of this doesn't fix it. For the most part it drives great. It's not a shock no oil dripping anywhere. Guess it could be alignment.

I installed mine flat on the ground. Did it with the tires on too.

same here

Normal?

 

[Free2roam]

I haven’t noticed that. I guess Apex would have to tell you.

They said take the little nylon plug out and tightened it.

So I spent a day wheeling today and the autolynx are awesome. One issue though, they hit the plastic liner and the driver side locked itself while I was driving. Weird.

Interesting. Are there orientation options for these that might make it less likely to twist when hitting the liner?

This might be a dumb question, but do you need to remove both away bar links to move the sway bar to align with the apex. I have a mojave and the stock links are shorter than the minimum apex length, so I have to move the sway bar a lot to align. Also a note, the stock nuts are 18mm top and bottom but the new apex nut is 19mm.

Trying to determine between the 8" or 10.5".

3" ish lift but with the mopar fox shocks, so could go either 8" or 10.5". Currently my sway bar is tilted up just a bit and my sway links are 9". So the 8.7" setting on the 8" autolynx would work.

3" bump stops. Just what I had around the garage. This should help with stopping them hitting the fender liner?

Mainly I am just trying to not cut my aal alloy fenders liners. Not going to go any longer with the shocks.

However, If I set the 10.5" also at the 8.7" slot or even the 9.5" slot...would that help them not hit the fender? Or Does where I set the autolynx on the slot not really matter in terms of fender liner rub?

Thoughts or opinions welcome!

Recently got the autolynx disconnect installed, and experiencing clunk noise going over bumps side ways or flexing a bit. I have checked all the nut and they are torqued to spec. I tried unlocking the link and the noise seem to go away. Anyone experienced similar problems?

 

[Greendiator]

Did you set the nut correctly on the snap ring? It needs to turn counter clockwise and tighten up against the snap ring.

I have tightened those nuts to the rings as well.

2.5" AEV Lift with there Bilstein 5100 shocks, 8 or 10.5?

Thinking 8?

2.5" AEV Lift with there Bilstein 5100 shocks, 8 or 10.5?

Thinking 8?

Not sure about the aev specific but the 2-3" lift bilstein 5100s have a 9.8" stroke. When I purchase the autolynx I've planned to go with 10"

 

[Josh00333]

Ya ordered the 10.5, the 5100 shocks are 9.8 inch

Here’s my thoughts after having them for a while.
They work great, especially on slow bumpy terrain, rocks and washouts where you need max flex. I have found, however, that with the Mojave there’s a trade off. When they are disconnected I bounce off the hydro bump stops a lot more since the springs are so soft. Almost constantly. If the trail is bumpy and a moderate pace I won’t disconnect them anymore.
I also took a blast down a wash on Saturday and found out that wasn’t fun with them disconnected. I reconnected them and it was much better. I had it in “Mojave mode” (offroad plus, rear locker on) and was doing about 50 mph in a dry river bottom.
So I’m still happy I have them. Being so easy to turn off and on, I’m able to lock/unlock anytime I want in a few seconds. Definitely worth it.

Did you ever do the AEV spacer lift for Mojave?
After installing mine the suspension is more rigid than before.
I actually like it better with the lift and I don't hit the bump stops as often.
I'm now thinking of adding the AutoLynx and wondering about the difference with the lift on the bump stops.

 

[KevinM60]

I haven’t yet but I hope when I do it stiffens up a little. Mine is super soft.

I was okay with the cushiness but I like the tighter feel better. I really noticed it turning mountain curves. It's more precise.

I ordered a set of the Apex Autolynx yesterday and they are shipping out today for delivery next week.
I have the AEV 2” spacer lift that have extensions for the factory shocks so I went with the 8” Autolynx.
I expect to use them when crawling but not at high speed
