Gladiators on Mopar 2" Lift Kit

[doc-ketamine]

Dealer installed my 2” MOPAR lift. Should I go around and check torque on all the nuts after so many miles, or anything like that?

Take a paint pen and make a mark on the bolt head to the frame or control arm. If they become misaligned, then re-torque.

i drove mine for about ~500 miles and then had the guys at my local 4 Wheel Parts store do an alignment and re-torque everything for me and paint mark it after!

Sport with Max Tow package

-Mopar 2" lift kit with no spacers.
-Rubicon take-off 33" wheels and tires.

I ended up with 3.25" in the front and 2.6" in the rear. Still a slight rake which I'm ok with.
With the Sport fenders the 33" tires look fine.
Any front axle shift is really hard to see but I'll probably add an adjustable track bar eventually.

Went to Silver Island Mountain Range this past weekend...a hundred or so miles at 80 MPH on I-15 to get there...I averaged 14.5 MPG.

Tire size?

Mopar lift and Toyo 34’s below

The ride is great on road, but not sure about the rebound off road. The rebound was too harsh, almost head banging inside the cab when on a rolling uneven trail with 6-8” drop outs. Maybe it’s just the wheel base difference Im not used to over my JKU?

Is it rebound, or are you hitting the bump stops during compression? I have the non-Mopar Fox 2.0s with Clayton springs and don't have a huge issue with that. I have heard people have had great experiences with durospring bump stops. Just need to remove 1" worth of bump stop extension to get them dialed in perfectly.

I installed the Mopar lift on my '20 JTR since I put the same lift on my '18 JLUR and loved it. Haven't had a chance to get it off road yet to see how it compares to the JLUR, but on-road is awesome. I have 37x12.5x17 BFG KM3's. 17x9.5 Black Rhino rims have a -18mm offset.

Specifically what tire is it? What's the load range spec? I've run Load Range D on a JK/JKU and it was find under normal driving but harsh on bumps. I wouldn't even consider Load Range E for a light duty Jeep.

It just seems like a lot of pitch and roll at 10-15 mph. Nothing is close to hitting the bump stops. But i’m talking about the truck articulating in and out of 8” deep 2’ wide sections of road. Kind of like floating in a stationary boat and getting waves directly from the side. I’ll just deal with it. I didn‘t air down either.

To the other point, LOl yes it’s load E. I always run them and had them on the JKU, TJ's and Landcruisers. It’s arizona and the 10 ply 3 ply side is really a plus for a lot of our terrain. Honestly, it doesn’t seem much different road driving than the stock Falkens. I’m thinking it might just be the wheel base difference.

I love your wheels! I've seen them before but this is the first time on a Jeep. For some reason it speaks to me from your setup. I'll have to consider these...Very nice.

Thanks! I literally looked for weeks before I settled on these. I went to Black Rhino's site, and they had a JT with these wheels on it. That sold me.
