Fit 2021 Mojave? Nitro Shocks.
The Quadratec Maximum Duty 2.5" Coil Spring Suspension Lift Kit is generally not compatible with the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave.
While the kit is designed for the standard Gladiator JT chassis, the Mojave edition features a unique suspension setup—specifically reinforced frames, different axle-side shock mounts, and factory-equipped FOX 2.5" Internal Bypass shocks with external reservoirs. Installing a standard kit with Nitro shocks would require you to discard these high-performance factory shocks, which are a primary selling point of the Mojave. Additionally, many standard JT lift kits do not account for the Mojave's specific shock mounting diameters and hydraulic jounce bumpers.
Recommended Options for Mojave
If you are looking to lift your 2021 Mojave, it is highly recommended to use a Mojave-specific kit that retains your factory FOX shocks through the use of shock extensions:
AEV N0921010AA 2in Spacer Lift for 20-26 Jeep Gladiator JT Mojave: This is a popular "budget-friendly" way to gain height while keeping the factory ride quality. It uses spacers on top of the factory springs and includes necessary extensions for the FOX shocks.
ReadyLIFT 4" Mojave Terrain Flex Lift: A more comprehensive option designed specifically for the Mojave to maintain full use of the hydraulic jounce bumpers and bypass shocks at a higher lift height. (Special order item - 69-6043 - Call Customer Service at 1-800-745-2348)

Do I need new control arms with this lift to maintain proper suspension geometry for a Sport S?
We recommend that any lifted vehicle, regardless of lift brand or lift height, switch to adjustable control arms so that a proper alignment can be performed.

Will the electronic sway bar disconnect on the Rubicon still work with this kit?
Yes, it will still work. You will want to select the Rubicon trim package from the product options before adding the item to your cart.

Is this kit compatible with a Rubicon diesel or would different front springs be necessary?
No, this kit isn't rated for the extra weight of the diesel models.

What is the spring rate? Are they stronger or the same as stock?
Sport Front: RATE 1: 93 LBS/IN --- RATE 2: 142 LBS/IN (TRANSITION Rate Change occurs at 16.13")
Rubicon: RATE 1: 110 LBS/IN --- RATE 2: 165 LBS/IN (TRANSITION Rate Change occurs at 15.13")
Thanks for your inquiry.

iS there a warranty on the shocks? Also, which would ride better, Hydro 7.0 or Nitro 8.0?
Shocks carry a one year warranty. For most daily purposes the Hydro will be more a more comfortable ride. When using your Jeep in more varied terrain, the Nitro will provide a responsiveness and firmer feel and will be less likely to fade if under a lot of cycle duress from more extreme off-road conditions. Thanks for your inquiry.

Does this kit level as well? Or is it equal lift for front and rear, keeping the rake?
This lift raises the front 2.5” & rear about 1.5” so this takes out 1” of OE rake. Will still be about 1-1.5” high in rear. OE is about 2.5” high in rear so takes about 1” rake out of rear. Thanks for your inquiry.

If you have the Heavy Duty Tow package on a sport do you choose sport or Rubicon because of the axel difference?
No, Only choose Rubicon when Rubicon. HD Tow Package would include HD rear factory coils.. so in this case to keep HD tow package factory rear coils should order G250PBLT which uses 1” rear coil spacers so can keep HD Tow Package rear coil rating. Thanks for your inquiry.

Will this kit eliminate the front rake of the stock suspension?
This lift raises the front 2.5” & rear about 1.5” so this takes out 1” of OE rake. Will still be about 1-1.5” high in rear. OE is about 2.5” high in rear so takes about 1” rake out of rear. Thanks for your inquiry.
Joseph S.
Will you need longer brake lines with this kit?
They are not a required or necessary. Thanks for your inquiry.
