I'm interested in this also...did you hear back?

I have a MC GC but with Evo HD 4.5 Springs....I'd like to compare, because I feel like I dont have the height that I see some other 4.5's at!
Sorry, no, I never got a reply from that post.
You should have some good lift with the Evo 4.5 springs, so I’m surprised to hear you think it’s lacking height.

I also have the RK 4.5” lift on a 21 JTR and really like it. I easily got 5”+ but I also do not have any additional weight, I have stock plastic bumpers and no bed rack. Took it out on Rausch Creek over Memorial Day with 37s and had zero issues, articulation on the trail/rocks was incredible and the highway ride home was just fine. Also, it’s my daily driver where I drive 70 miles a day so I’ve used it quite a bit.

I'm sure the lift is fine...I just hear great things about RK, and not so great about Evo, so my curiosity is getting the better of me.

I have been telling myself that if I need new springs for any reason, Ill go RK.

And I'm with you. I dont have any additional weight (except the diesel). Whenever you get some free time, would you be willing to measure from the ground to the door handle, fender, rock rail, anything like that?

yeah I ended up getting the Rockkrawler 3” pro-X, if I need more height I’ll convert it to the 4.5.

install for me is around the corner, I can’t wait! These Rockkrawler arms are insanely stout!

I put on side steps but before I installed those the measurement from ground to bottom of rock rail below rear driver side door was just under 24”. I’ll grab a fender and door handle measurement and repost when I can.

Hey thanks, I appreciate it!

I just went out and checked mine out, and the bottom of the rock rail, center of the driver side rear door, is just under 24 inches as well, so that's good to know.

Great looking off the showroom floor built up Jeep. Did some internet investigating to see what the “RMT” package included and it doesn’t mention anything about re gearing. Curious if your Gladiator was re geared to handle those 37s?
They are not regeared. Had one myself.

I did a thing this morning. Can't decide what rims so for now I went without. Who knows, maybe these'll grow on me.

Enjoy. Mine have continued to serve me well, even with 37’s. And they’re light.
