Gladiators on Mopar 2" Lift Kit

[Trauma PA]

Yes by an 1/8 of an inch. Now if you mean stock it’s higher I have no idea I didn’t measure.

If you are measuring ground to lip of each fender, my point is the front fender lower lip sits higher than the rear fender lower lip. Your way of measuring isn't reliable unless I'm just confused.

I was more or less using that as a point of reference nothing more.

Gotcha! Your JT looks badass by the way. I wish I had the kahunas to put 37s on mine.

Here is my stock gladiator rubicon measured from ground to bottom of fencer at center of wheel hub. The section of the front fenders is higher between center of hub and door, but at center of hub, it’s actually 1/4” to 1/2” rake lower from rear at the same center of hub reference point..
Front: D@39” & P@39 1/8”
Rear: D@39 1/4” & P@ 39 1/2”.
Driver side being lower is probably due to full gas tank

Mopar lift and 38" Patagonia's,

well isnt that one damn good looking truck... what width tire are you running? those look like mopar wheels, are you using wheel spacers? Did you have any rubbing issues lock to lock and while articulating...and finally... did you re-calibrate for tire size or regear? and or plan to?

Hey thanks guys! No spacers. I just picked it up today from the shop, So i am not sure how well it will be at clearing when articulating, but all indications lead me to believe there won't be any issue. There is no rubbing issues in the front end on the street full steering ect. I have a weekend trip planed to take it out on the trails mid feb so I will have a better idea then if there are any clearance issues while articulating then.
The tires are 38x13.5"R17 and the wheels are the mopar 17x8.5. I did re-calibrate@the dealer for the tire size. I will most likely regear sometime later this year. The power loss is noticeable on the stick shift, but I was expecting it to be much worse. For comparison it still feels better than a stock jk with the 3.8 at least. Thanks!

Sting Gray, 2” Mopar Lift with 35” BFG AT KO2 on Fuel Recoil 17” x 8.5”, 4.5” backspace

Almost identical to my jeep. Do you have more photos from different angles? Highly considering this lift. I've been told there are far superior lifts out there, such as metal cloak, however their lowest kit is 2.5 and i'm borderline thinking the mopar 2" is too tall as it is. I have 35's and no intention of going taller than that for towing reasons. Are you guys netting a lot more than the "2 inches" mopar advertises? How is the ride quality compared to a stock sport S suspension?

Excellent clearance.
BIG tire.

Remind me what you want to tow?

"Towing with Mopar Lift with 35s" would make a good thread.

@XJ2JTChris The ride is a little stiffer than stock. There are better lifts available, but I’m happy with it. I’ve taken it Offroad several times and wasn’t disappointed. It directly mimics the stock rake, so after I installed a steel bumper and a winch the fronts springs settled a little so I also installed 1” spacers on the front. There’s still some rake but not much.
I hope these pics help.
