what kit did u use? Looks great!
I grabbed this front lift - https://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-s...c.html?find=2020-jeep-gladiator-jt-4wd-379105

I grabbed this rear kit - https://www.daystarweb.com/product/gladiator-75-inch-rear-level-kit-20-pres-gladiator-jt

and I also grabbed these - https://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-n...l.html?find=2020-jeep-gladiator-jt-4wd-379105

The biggest difference came from the steering stabilizers. Words cannot describe how much more stable it is on the road at 100kph now. No bump steer, no drifting. It's definitely not on rails or anything like that, but I don't feel like I'm going to die if my eyes drift from the road for two seconds.

In regards to the lift, the quality of the parts are fantastic. Very happy with the truck now.

Time to convince the wife I need 35's.

Okay. Then it’s my doors then. My bolts literally go to the end of the nut and the doors (front) still rattle. I may need to adjust the lock mechanism somehow or get longer bolts.
Here is the front. At this length, it is snug. Surprised that it is still rattling for you. Are you sure the hinges are tight?

Rugged Ridge Arcus Front Bumper & Smittybilt XRC Gen3 12k Winch with synthetic rope. Tensioned the rope using my big ass, so I need to do a proper pre-load of the rope.

Bedrug, installed...

The product is super durable, looks great and is soft on the hands and knees especially compared to the "sandpaper-like" spray-in liner surface. I have one in my Raptor and it looks great years later after some pretty tough use.

More info and details in my build thread (link in my sig)

Yup - I want one. Looks good and the being easy on the knees and hands bit as I climb in to grab stuff that's up front sounds good.

This afternoon my Gladiator visits the local Line-X shop for a premium bedliner application. In another week, I should receive my Diamondback SE tonneau cover. That should be a fun project.

2.5” lift at the front, 1” at the rear, and dual steering stabilizers installed today.

bump steer is now gone. Can finally talk to my kids in the back without worrying about the Jeep drifting with the road.

truck sits nice and level now.

Hinges are tight and I found rubber stoppers to replace the original ones which are a tad bigger. I also used a hacksaw to remove the bolt head on a longer bolt. It wasn’t complicated to do and should be the fix I need. Will send pics tonight.
