2000ish TJ, 2020 Gladiator Rubicon
Since you asked for opinions (I know you didn't, but hey, I'll give it anyways), given that you have a Rubicon and only do mild trails, I'd do a spacer lift until the suspension needs refreshing, then do a full lift. The advantages are that you can make use of your stock suspension for a while, then upgrade when there are more options available. Not that the lifts out now are not good, but having more options is better; plus you can hear more real world experience from others.

Just my 2 cents. You can put it in the mail; I accept cheques.

Edit: oh, and my opinion would be different if you were planning to do harder wheeling.
Nah I have a rock crawler for the harder stuff. I'll piece my own lift, I won't buy a "kit". One size may fit most, but not mine. I'd rather get it set up perfectly. I need to get my TJ re-worked a little first before I dump money into the JT.

Sorry photos didn’t attach. There appears to be three rings on this wheel. Can the one between the inside and outside be removed and painted?

No idea. Never even thought to check on how fare this wheel can be dismantled. A little Firecracker Red could light them up a bit..

that Jeep isn’t lifted. Mopar 2.5” towers over 35s on a rubicon

Lemme get something right here: if i have a Sport S w/ Max Tow....i could achieve this stance/look by "simply" having a Rubicon (or higher) fender? No other mods would be necessary? This is the conclusion i seem to always arrive at. Am i correct here, or should i give up the glue sniffing?

Because this is exactly the stance I'm after... mostly towing a small teardrop-style camper, probably 90% gravel/dirt road driving, the other 10% rocks, hills, mud holes, etc....pretty sure those 35's will fit the bill without any other mods.

So your Gladiator is not going to see any asphalt roads?

Ya, as much as i wish that it might not, i suppose it will...

To be clear, those percentages listed would likely be those miles racked up during offroad operation.

I figured such, lol. Some of us couldn't be so lucky to have just a dedicated off road vehicle but honestly, I would prefer to drive my Jeep anyway. Some of my friends don't understand the "Jeep thing" but oh well. I guess I don't understand the muscle car thing.

Can you tell me how deep the lip measures on your wheels? With the 11.5 width, I imagine 4 or more inches?
