Hi Guys,
I placed a factory order for a Stingray Rubicon Gladiator last Sat, super pumped and can't wait to get the truck. Hopefully with the whole COVID thing it won't take too long. Anyway, the point of my post is this: I want to install a 2" lift but there is no way I want to drop $1500 and rip out the Rubicon Fox shocks that are already installed. So, I am looking at doing a 2" spacer lift (front and rear) such as this one on Quadratec's site: https://www.quadratec.com/p/rubicon...it-jeep-gladiator-jt/shock-extensions-JT7134E . I would like to keep some rake to the truck.
The description states that I can re-sue the existing rear shocks using the supplied shock extensions. At the front end it includes 'swap bar drop brackets to correct any geometry changes'. Have any of you tried this kit? Quadratec claims that I would retain the factory ride quality while still gaining the 2" in height. Is this too good to be true?
If I owned an Overland I could see spending the money on the Mopar kit to get the improved Fox shocks. However, having already paid for the Rubicon trim I think something like this Quadratec spacer lift seems like a no brainer. Am I missing something? Also, for what it is worth I will use the truck for 4 wheeling but nothing too hardcore, and 90% of the miles will be commuting on the highway for work.
If anyone can shed some light on this topic I would greatly appreciate it. I've been creeping on this forum for weeks now and there seems to be a world of information. That said, it seems like everything I find lift related is almost always the Mopar 2" kit. Thanks in advance for your time.
