Mojave lift/shocks

[drew0622]

This has been discussed before, I'm sure. My 2022 Mojave has 35K miles, 2" AEV spacers, 37's, 4:88s, RPM steering and I love it. But.......I'm thinking about swapping the 2" spacers our for a full 3.5" Clayton Lift Kit. My issue is I really don't want to put longer shock extensions, than I already have. So, I need to get shocks. Price is an object, but I don't want to "cheap out" either. I've heard good and bad about Falcon 3.3 adjustables, more bad lately. Any other Mojave guys done a swap?

Bad.

stay away from the Falcon 3.3, have them on my JKU and after a good longish offroad trip they were done. Although terraflex claims they are rebuildable and I bought them on the "promise" they were releasing a rebuild service manual, never happened and you have to send the shocks to them for service - absolutely not worth the price.

The 3.5" Clayton lift on my JKU came with Bilstein shocks, I should've stuck with Bilstein.

Depending on how you plan to use your JT (rock crawling, fast offroad, fire trails), I'd look at Bilstein, Rancho, or King, talk to Clayton Offroad, those guys are great at answering questions and they know what works well with their coils.

Also, I'd keep the stock stabilizer or select the FOX stabilizer, the stock works just fine; stay away from anything terraflex, been there and it was a costly trip.

Here’s a Falcon Shock mounting stud we just had…it’s cheap crap. Broke before the called for torque.

Thanks for the info. I will definitely check with Clayton directly, heard nothing but good things about them.

Sell the Mojave shocks and buy a good set of Bilstiens or king or fox if you can.
