Request: 35s with a Lift?

[Echo26]

We all know 37s look natural on Gladiators, but for some it’s more than what we want. 35s don’t require a lift on some models but people add lifts for various reasons. I’d like to see pics and read peoples reasons on why they got the lift and specs of that lift.

Looking forward to seeing your awesome builds.

Well the sport flares would be one reason to lift a JT for 35s. Mine didn’t clear 35s with a 2” lift.

2.5" front spacer lift on Max Tow. Wanted to keep ride close to factory as possible and putting bumper and winch on whenever it finally ships. Didn't want it to look stuffed with 35s. Tires are 35x12.50r17 Yokohama Geolandar X-AT on factory wheels.

No lift yet, I think I'm about 2 weeks out. I'm doing it to get the skid plates, transfer case, engine, and transmission further off the ground. I hate the sound of scraping skid plates. I'm just doing a coil spacer lift, to go with the 35s I have currently.

mopar lift with 3/4in spacer up front and 35s.

Which kit are you installing?

So “technically” I have a 2 inch lift without having an actual full out lift kit. Replaced stock Overland suspension with Rubicon shocks and springs. That in itself gave me about a half inch up from and just under a inch in the rear. That, coupled with a Teraflex leveling kit up front, has me sitting 2 inch higher than I was stock. And didn’t kill the budget. Sitting on 35 equivalents.
Second pic (before/after) is after already having the Rubicon set up. That’s only showing the difference adding the leveling kit up front. But to get an idea.

Haven't quite pulled the trigger yet. Have some Christmas gift cards to use up, and the dealership will install it next week when I take it in for another small issue. Basically... Whatever I can find in stock at the local 4wheelparts.com store in Carlisle Pa

2" mopar frankenlift and 35/11.5/17. No issues with the swaybar disconnected and does really well compared to stock when loaded down with all my camping gear.

I'll add that I have a 6MT and regeared to 4.56. Worked out really well for daily driving.

I went with the Clayton 2.5" Ride Right because I wanted adjustable track bars and adjustable upper arms.

I went with 35s because I didn't want to go too big. Was also hoping to avoid a regear. Definitely needs a regear, the stock 3.73s are not deep enough to cruise in 8th with 35s.

2" Mopar lift, 1" Terra spacer up front. 35"x12.50 BFG's. Wanted a little more breakover angle without having too large of a tire. Still rocking 23-24 mpg's, really enjoying this setup.

2021 EU-spec Overland trim.
2.5“ AEV Dualsport with 35“ BFG KO2s.
Chose lift kit due to moderate price and ride comfort, do not need for rock crawling but overlanding.

No lift and 315 70 17 BFG KO2S on 2020 Max Tow

Same truck with 315 70 17 BFG KO2s and 2.5" Readylift SST spacer lift and Front Rubicon springs installed, a total of around 3-1/2 inches of lift in the front, almost leveled it out with the 2" spacers in the rear and the winch and bumper in the front.

Same truck as it sits now with Kanati trail hogs 37's on it. Same everything else.

I added the lifts because I just like how they look lifted and to give me some more clearance when doing light off roading. I don't rock crawl or anything like that and i daily drive mine so I took weight and ride quality into consideration when choosing lift and tires.

How do you like the readylift spacer kit? That's one of the ones 4wheelparts has in stock. I might go get it this week. Same deal here. Just looking for more clearance for mild off-roading. It's my daily, so I'm not doing anything crazy.

I like it a lot. Had it installed for almost 2yrs now, installed Feb 2020. It combined with some Rubicon takeoffs make for a nice ride, but I didn't mind it at all with just the spacers installed.
