@Kevin Mojito Are the Mojave shocks FOx shocks?

 

[Kevin Mojito]

yes and pricey..

yes and pricey..

I'm definitely interested to know how the front reservoirs are going to mount on a Rubicon. Do you have the factory Rubicon bumper/skid plate, or the Mojave, or aftermarket?

 

[Kevin Mojito]

Working with factory JL Rubicon. It will be a fun project. Lots of picture's, I'm sure. Or will be a bust and have to resale them.

Is a take off or did you order the setup?

yes and pricey..

 

[Kevin Mojito]

Take off's. No way I'm going to pay $1,500 per shock.... This is still a mall crawler.

 

[Warz2k4]

Your mall crawler is so decked out.

@Kevin Mojito Lol, so I don't have a lift and my wheels are hiding my Fox shocks , barely can even see it. I see your shocks clearly

 

[Kevin Mojito]

lol
Now I hope to not have to slow down for speed bumps in the parking lots..

LOL

I was able to swap these shocks out to the Gladiator JT Rubicon fox shocks on my JLUSahara on Rubicon tires/wheels.......Took me about 20-25mins per shock. Easy. The hardest part was putting the new bushings in, although some part of the rubber flap was torn, but didn't affect the installation.

It's a night and day difference in ride quality, with a lot less bounce. It's like a feeling of an SUV.

Highly recommended.

Really? I have heard the opposite that it rides too soft. Man i guess i need to drive one with the swap.

Anyone tried these shocks with a 2-door?

You want to keep them with a factory springs. They work nice with the 3.0 Diesel springs on a gasser.
I keep going back to these Rubicon fox shocks. I have the Synergy springs on right now, and they are having a hard time with body sway. The progressive of Synergy spring are softer then the stock springs at ride height. I would like to get a set of the JT Diesel Rubicon fox shocks to try out. Just not any out there yet ( at the right price .)

I should have a set the Mojave in today. These should be real fun to play with.

I'm on factory springs....I dont want a lift. The fox shocks are a lot less bouncier than my stock shocks. (which is what I wanted)

To clarify, if you intentionally drive on the rumble strips on the side of the highway, do you feel them more or less than before?

If you run over a speed bump at faster than the posted speed, how quickly does your jeep regain composure?

 

[Warz2k4]

It's a lot less bouncy,,thats the best I can explain.

The stock shocks really suck and a lot more stiff than the Rubicon Fox shocks.
