Lets see all those Gladiators with lifts and bigger tires!

Mopar 2" lift, Ion Series 171 17x9 wheels w zero offset, Kenda Klever A/T 315s:

More poke than I wanted, but I got such a good deal on the light alloy wheels that I couldn't resist!

I've been wanting to get my JT worthy of this thread since I bought it. I think I got it there today.
37x12.50 17 BFG KO2's in c load rating
Mopar beadlock wheels
Metalcloak 3.5" Dual Rate with factory shocks.
Rides and drives great!

Here is my 2022 Gobi Mohave. Just starting the build.

• Lift size: 2.0 inch
• Lift manufacturer: Mopar to keep the warranty
• Tire size: 37 KM3
• Wheel specs: Fuel Vectors

Good at full articulation?

Cool. I have the same wheels with Mopar lift but Kanati 315s. Install next week.

How much are you guys paying for the Mopar lifts right now?

How much are you guys paying for the Mopar lifts right now?

I paid $1525 for the Mopar 2in JT lift kit, by showing a parts guy at the dealership the mopar website. I then paid $825 for the dealership to install it including mounting and balancing new tires on new wheels. It took about a day and a half.

BAM has the Mopar lift kits for $1461.18 plus shipping. Shipping is what kills it.

I paid $1395, but that was in May.

Clayton Diesel 3.5" Lift
17" Black Rhino Chambers
37" BFG KO2

Seriously considering the Clayton kit with Falcon 3.3's. How's the ride?? Maybe it's the angle, but looks the rear is a good bit higher than the front.

I haven't yet put the shocks through their full capabilities, but on-road on the soft setting rides excellent. Pretty comparable to stock, slightly firmer. Very pleased so far.
As far as the kit itself, I got the diesel kit so take that into account, but I'm overall super pleased. Clayton usually takes out only part of the factory rake; I noticed about 1/2in LESS rake than factory, but still a decent rake. I often have a lot of weight in the bed, so I'm OK with some rake. I think my crappy cellphone camera, plus my sloped driveway might make the pic seem more raked than reality.
Clayton has a solid reputation for high quality and customer service. So far, they've definitely demonstrated that by me. Be aware that they run much higher than advertised. My 3.5in kit ended up giving me almost 6in of lift.

Wait. I think you're doing it wrong. You can't put that on your 2-seater. You better send it to me.

Awesome, thanks. I have a JTRD also, and have been holding off doing a lift until more diesel specific springs became available. Clayton is definitely at the top if my list.

If I could get those springs on, it would be a lot easier to work on...

Send you which, the lift kit, or the sports car? My wife is raising the point about having redundant stick-shift convertibles more and more frequently now that you mention it...
