Mojave Suspension?
I have a strange question. I parked my Mojave next to a sahara jk yesterday and mine seems to sit higher than the sahara. I was surprised to see this. I have been toying with the idea of running 33x12.50 with aftermarket 17'' wheels but didnt think I had the clearance. I know there are some on here running 33x10.50 with stock wheels. Just curious if I could run a wider tire with a new wheel on stock mojave suspension. I didnt think the Mojave had different suspension but it was up at least an inch higher. I scrolled though and tried to search but could not find the answer I needed. Thanks so much

Does it have the same suspension as the rubi? Might be stiffer springs, check the number.
For the tires, vertical clearance isnt the issue , it's turning and sway bar contact. You can defiantly run the 12.50 on the stock wheels, you just will need 1.5" spacers for the wheels

15x8 Black Rocks with 4" BS. I was rubbing the outside edge of the tire on the inside of the fender when it was flexed a lot

Oh ok. For the OP the Rubi springs should take care of that problem. But I personally am thinking about getting some 33x12.50 tires and I just wanted to make sure the inside wouldn't rub. So that's good to know
