Looks awsome! Which rubicon take offs do you have? The front fenders to? so you put the 2 inch in the front? And 3/4 in the rear?Max tow with Rubicon take offs and Daystar 3/4" spacer lift. Rides a little stiffer imho and lifted right around 2" and leveling the truck a bit.
I put the Fox shocks and springs I got from another forum member. I didn't use the control arms or sway bar links since they're the same. I'll attach the kit I got from Daystar.
link/screen cap for the 2" front you used?I put the Fox shocks and springs I got from another forum member. I didn't use the control arms or sway bar links since they're the same. I'll attach the kit I got from Daystar.
So this is just for the rear? Right?
Seriously? Hey, just send me some money and I’ll pick out something for you. While you’re trying to make up your mind, I’m out on the rocks. Come on man, just pull the trigger!
It's both front and rear. I didn't measure how big the spacers were but the fronts were bigger than the rear but not by much. The springs were the exact same size as the max tow but the Rubicon springs felt beefier. They probably don't squat as much? I'll measure in the morning but I think I'm right at 2" higher in the front.
In all seriousness, I am blown away by what the Gladiator can do with just a $300 lift kit. I really want a more complete kit when more options become available, but will have a hard time justifying the additional expense.
what kit did you buy?
verry interesting. I ordered a Sport S, Manual Trans with no tow package because it gets you better springs, a GVWR 6200 and a 1600 payload
Yeah, in that case your payload is high due to the fact it's the lightest Gladiator you can order, but, your towing capacity is the least in the lineup at only 4,000 lbs. max. It's a trade-off that few guys are willing to make. But I suppose if you never pull a trailer, boat, camper, etc. it's fine. Your rear coils are probably 39s which are the softest ones available.
when I get my JT, I'll take some measure ments and let you know. I don't know about my configuration being the lightest though. My GVWR is meant to be 6200, where the manual trans Sport Base (with and without the regular tow package), and the manual trans Sport S with the tow package only get a GVWR of 5800 and 1200 payload. There's not a 400lb difference between a Sport S with tow package and Sport S without it (no way the hitch and engine cooling weigh 400lbs)
