Jeep Gladiator Mojave 2in AEV Lift on 37's Walk Around and Test Drive

[@lainecolman1092]

I have the AEV spacer lift on my gladiator mojave and it looks great and rides perfect. Just make sure to get the AEV geometry correction kit at the same time - with the GEO brackets in place you will notice a significant improvement in steering wander. And then you don't need to add the mopar lower control arms to correct the castor. Your local AEV installer will know about this combination.

[@TylerPotter]

I just hate the thought of reducing the ground clearance at the front lower control arms with the brackets, but they should work great. Thanks for the view!

[@betweenthepines4000]

Did the exact same on my 22’ Mojave and I added rear airbags in the stock springs. Towing or hauling its always level and controlled. Great lift and handles with 37’s with no drama.

[@jeasonf.sanchez5647]

Is re gearing necessary with 37’s?

[@betweenthepines4000]

Im ok without it for now, but eventually im getting 4.88’s. It likes to gear hunt a bit on the highway.

[@bdan3459]

I put the same lift on my Mojave. I also added 4:88 gears and the APEX sway bar disconnect. I love mine!

[@TylerPotter]

Nice! The 4.88's probably really make it move great! Thanks for the view!

[@stephencarbajal5657]

Did you add the mopar lower control arms as Tyler did if not how did you combat the caster issue of there is one?

[@bdan3459]

@@stephencarbajal5657 I did not, but did not seem to have an issue.

[@stephencarbajal5657]

@@bdan3459 this is interesting? I had one of the AEV reps tell me I needed to add them and had one tell me I did not? Also have seen a few videos where that person didn't install them either so I'm guessing it drives fine then? Thanks

[@shawnstuckey2514]

This looks familiar... It's mine! Nice work on this, drives and looks great.

[@TylerPotter]

It is such a awesome looking Mojave with the 392 wheels I had to show it off! Good to hear the AEV kit is still doing great, it was really a factory quality kit.

[@MrToyFrog]

How's it doing with the 4:10 and 37's? Been thinking about adding the lift and going up to 37's from 35's

[@despres0]

This is a perfect set up. Would you happen to know the total height? I'd like to do this to my Mojave but not sure if it will fit into my garage.

[@chrisb6561]

Hi, I have a 2022 Mojave and was thinking of doing this. How is the lift performing with the 37's, any issues?

[@michaelhart8539]

I imaging you’re going to have less articulation with the AEV spacer lift than going with another suspension lift setup. I love the suspension on my Mojave, but I’d want more articulation if/when I lift it. I think the stock Fox/Mojave shock only gets 8” of travel.

[@TylerPotter]

Yeah I agree, with this you aren't gaining or loosing any articulation just raising the Jeep up 2in. I just couldn't stand to swap out the awesome Mojave shocks! Thanks for the view!

[@DUNEATV]

If you want more articulation get a swaybar disconnect like the Rubicon.

[@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI]

@@DUNEATV I think they’re referring to when it is disconnected. Even without an E-disco, you can still manually disconnect your sway bar. Can also get aftermarket quick disconnects. But even then, articulation (flex) is still limited by other factors, such as your shock travel.

[@mgkeleher]

Thoughts on the Mopar lift lower control arms vs the AEV correction plates? Up in Omaha, looking at the AEV lift myself. Have the part # handy on the lifted control arms, when I seem to only find the factory control arms.

[@TylerPotter]

I just hate the thought of loosing ground clearance at the front lower control arm brackets with the AEV plates. I know they would work great for there purpose but again adding a 2in lift only to lower the control arms 2 inches seems less ideal.

[@stephencarbajal5657]

​@@TylerPotter so your opinion running the mopar arms is a better option? I asked AEV about running those arms and they were opposed to it but also I had one sales guy tell me I didn't need the caster correction kit and then when I was going to order the kit that sales person told me I needed them and a steering dampner? If the arms work I'd consider this kit. I guess the most important is pushing the front diff forward is the most important so basically running any arms that work for 2" lifts would probably work?

[@DUNEATV]

Looks great!

[@TylerPotter]

It was a really good looking Jeep! Thanks for the view!

[@DUNEATV]

@@TylerPotter I subbed too! I have a 2021 2dr Rubicon. Any 2dr JL content coming? Lol

[@oldasiandude76]

I am thinking of getting this lift for my mojave. My concern is the axle alignment and geometry. Did you need to replace the oem trackbar with an adjustable one or the geometry relocation brackets. I heard some people who did this lift noticed the axle tracking off center. What's your advice. Great content

[@TylerPotter]

This one still had the stock track bars. The axles will be just slightly off center and you could use a nice set of adjustable track bars to center them if you wanted. Thanks for the view!

[@skheatingandairconditionin6908]

Great video. I’m doing the same set up with my Mojave but I’m torn between 35’s and 37’s. What are your thoughts?

[@TylerPotter]

The 37's look awesome but the 35's will rob less power and will drive down the road nicer than the larger 37's. Thanks for the view!

[@adriananaya3795]

Great video. I’m going from 35s to 37s next week. How is your mpg with the lift and bigger tires?

[@TylerPotter]

That is a good question this was a Jeep for a customer so I'm not sure what is it getting for MPG. Thanks for the view!

[@tumbes2000]

what are the part numbers for the lower control arms?

[@TylerPotter]

This is the part number 68322798AA, you will need 2 of them. They work great for any aftermarket lift that doesn't come with any way to add caster when lifted. Thanks for the view!

[@jasonbullock7237]

Exactly what I was going to ask. Just ordered a AEV kit for my 22 Mojave.

[@603Aviation]

@@jasonbullock7237 installed yet? Feedback? Did you add these LCA units?

[@jasonbullock7237]

@@603Aviation I ended up canceling the order before it shipped. Had some irl issues come up where dedicated funds needed shifted to other channels. Still have it on the 'to do' list.

[@freedbailey8189]

What about including the AEV geometry correction brackets as part of this lift, would that alleviate the need for the Mopar LCA’s?

[@TylerPotter]

My only issue with the control arm brackets is the loss of ground clearance under the control arms mounts at the frame. It just seems counter active to lift something 2in and then lower the control arm mounts the same amount. At least out in the Kansas/ Oklahoma off-roading areas we seem to have a lot of rocks that hit our control arms mounts at the frame. If the mounts where 2 inches lower we would be on them all day long.

[@andrewfischer3971]

Great video. Any issues with the 37” and getting it to use the 8th gear?

[@TylerPotter]

In our relatively flat Kansas roads they seem to go into 8th fine once the correct tire size is programmed, but I would assume in more hilly areas it might not want to use 8th as much. Thanks for the view!

[@charlesestes6022]

I'm putting this spacer lift on my 22. I have purchased a set of Clayton Offroad control arms to adjust he caster. heard you say you put a set of Mopar control arms on this one. Can you tell me what the measurement is on those. im having a hard time finding that out.

[@TylerPotter]

I don't have the exact measurements but they are about a half bolt hole longer if that makes since. Thanks for the view!

[@laykon0707]

What’s a rough cost I should expect on going with this complete setup as described? I have a new 2022 Mojave JT and this looks like a plan.

[@TylerPotter]

The lift from AEV is only $589 and install will vary shop to shop. Thanks for the view!

[@abiseid]

Tyler... what is the life expectancy on those Fox shocks since you mentioned they are 2000$ (a piece)? The shocks on my JK Rubicon (in city driving) only lasted about 30k miles. To spend 8000$ on shocks when they fail, you might as well sell it and buy a new one. What's your opinion and recommendation?

[@TylerPotter]

That is a really good question. Mojaves haven't been out very long but so far I haven't seen any come in leaking. But I guess time will tell. Thanks for the view!

[@betweenthepines4000]

I was told they need to be rebuilt at 75k by Fox

[@stephencarbajal5657]

​@@betweenthepines4000 typically shocks are worn by 50k but it also depends on how they're used? Mallcrawling or in this mall/dune driving probably 50k. But of you're beating on them more than likely less?

[@betweenthepines4000]

@@stephencarbajal5657 I’m not exactly sure but my guess is Jeep and Fox likely did a survey on the percentage of average off road use. This wont apply to everyone but more of a guideline I would say. At 75k mine are likely gone for Fox Factory 2.5 units or equivalent

[@purpskurp8737]

Hey Tyler, Not sure if this is something you do, but if I wanted this done on my Mojave could I bring it to you for you to install? Thanks

Would adding Mopar LCA in a stock wrangler JL sport add caster to help with road crown pull

More caster on a solid axle vehicle is normally always a good thing. I haven't ever added them to a stock height Wrangler to correct an issue but it would be interest to drive it before and after to see the result. Thanks for the view!
