I can't speak to the lockers, but I use the JKS quicker disconnects for the front sway bar on my 2018 JLU. Here's how front disconnects can reduce rear rub. In your pics, notice that your left rear tire was off of the ground while your front left tire still had space. Having a front disco, that front left tire would travel further up into the wheel well ... allowing the frame to level our better ... lowering that left rear tire and taking some pressure off of the right rear tire. It keeps your rig 'balanced' better.

The bump stops (just a sample linked) reduce travel rather than increasing travel like discos do. But, the bump stops would eliminate the rub. Whatever height bump stops were installed with your lift, increasing them by an inch would likely do the trick.
If those disconnects work on the JL then it should work on the JT is that right? Yea I've heard how much the sway bar disconnect can help, I don't think I've seen a Jeep wheel ever come off the ground like that before lol.

I'm trying to get an Evo 6.5 lift but it seems that the only shocks available for the rear are the King 2.5. A set of 4 of those definitely jumps the cost up a bit. Trying to find other options if possible but if not I might just bite the bullet.

i would of Loved to see how you trimmed the extra front bumper extensions - any video or pics by chance for your steps you did to remove the extensions?
I only removed the splash guard that goes just under the indicator light. There are a few screws and clips and then it's out. I turned my wheel all the way to each direction, marked the inner splash guard and trimmed back maybe 2". Doesn't touch at all now. Didn't have to modify anything with the side steps.

Some wires show, no big deal in my opinion. If you really wanted to you could fab some customer cover to protect them. It's not like there really sealed off from the elements anyways

@CK Wraps How many yards of wrap would you say it takes to wrap a Gladiator? Just the exterior.
If you're a beginner I'd suggest 75 feet / 25 yards. This will leave room for error. Wrapping it perfectly you'll use around 60 feet or 20 yards. This number also depends on if your roof and fenders are paint matched or not

I suppose what I read they made it sound worse than what it was… Thanks for your clarification

What is the best clear paint protection film available? I ordered a firecracker red and will be in the Arizona desert so I need excellent paint protection.
