Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

how’s the diesel with the 4.56 & 37s? Mpg?

Unladen, the combined 75/25 city/hwy average is 22; while towing a 28' Airstream, 15.1, average speed of 55 mph.

sounds like in town the lower gears are helpful in mpg and towing And you’re also not in the flats. Mine with 3.73 & 39” bfgs gets about 17 in town and 22 on the highway across I-8 in az (flat) if there are grades involved it’s about 20 . Towing a similar weight but less aero trailer to yours, Im at 13.

Did you have to re-gear your truck after putting the 37’s and lift on?

4” Mopar lift
39” BFGs
17x9 XD 232s

Since when did Mopar have a 4” lift?

 

[Dougstdig]

Yes, it was dealer installed

So I’m guessing it was installed and a lot model? Either way, it’s probably a tough Country lift they marked up as a $7,500, which I’ve seen on local lots here.

Woot my Gladiator with 2.5 in RC lift no shocks in front and 1.5 in Rustys off-road Pucks in rear, Tactik 17x9 Steelies and 34.5 inch Ironman MTs all around I think he looks like a badass sexy beast like our President. First pic was stock

Fortunately I had the where-with-all to check the date you entered this post otherwise into the pit with you…. Nice rig…enjoy

Appropriate gearing that matches tire size REALLY makes a significant difference, not just "go-pedal" performance. Primarily, you get your 8 speed back! Gear range spacing with the 8HP series is step-optimized, meaning each two gear sets work like "1-2....3-4...5-6...7-8", especially when downshifting. Mine cruises 8th now with only a forced downshift on grades exceeding 5-6 degrees at highway speeds. Previously, 7-8 would rarely show themselves unless going downhill, with lower speed shift splits wonked-out in the 4...5, 2...3 unevens. So there's fringe benefit value in matched gears, even with the diesel (or HEMI, for that matter).

Are you happy with the readylift 4” lift and 37’s? Did you re-gear by chance?

I have the same wheels on my JT but on 18". What is your offset? Mine is zero and rubs on right lower control arm with 35x12.5 tires.

Love the look of your Gladiator! What size lift and tire size did you go with?
