While I agree the tracbar looks suspect . OP had DW before the trac bar install . I would put your stock tires and wheels on and go for a drive . See how it does . Are you actually experiencing true DW or is it a heavy vibration or bumpsteer . Bump steer should be non existent at that lift height .
Everything I have purchased other than the tails has worked out great. So far oracle has been very responsive both on the boards and via the warranty claim dept. I'll update results as they progress . But at least something positive to report.
So against my better judgement I purchased a set of oracle JT flush taillights .
I waited for a bit to see feedback from a larger sample size . Of course I read about all the issues from cracked housings to operational gremlins.
I already had a tazer and jscan , so I figured I'd throw caution...
I've got probably 3k or so on my 37x13.50s . They are pretty damn impressive as far as noise , ride and tracking . Road snow and rain have not been an issue , really good actually. One look at these and a person would never believe me (us) .
Must have been a former wrangler owner operating on pure muscle memory.? Damn I've been waiting for that perfect opportunity to talk some trash. Wait I own a wrangler too ?.
Kinda disorganized, but the low def stock photo is a rare sighting my stock gladiator in the wild .
The third pic was one week after I purchased it and was on 37s with 2 3/4" front and 3/4" rear lift .
The second pic was 4" front and 2" rear springs and 38s
Current setup ( will update pics...
For kicks I got a set of 37x13.50r17 Yokohama XMTs. This is pretty much an unboxing opinion since I've only put about 500mi of mixed driving on them . First impression is for how aggressive these are they're absolutely no louder than any other typical MT tire I've ran . The run smooth and track...
This makes zero sense to me . Chalk that up to a bad install. I've driven form Detroit to Colorado springs at 80 pretty much entire way , wheeled and drove back 80 . Zero issues .
5.13 and never looked back . 1000s of miles driven from sea level to 14000' . Flat to mountains , rocks to mud and sand . I would have regretted 4.88s . There is no argument for 4.88s IMO . At least in a gladiator. 5.13s are like 4.88s with some reserve for towing , elevation , wind , ect.
If...
I run quake but still haven't split the fenders and have stock liners . Really cleans up the fenders . Quakes have been great fit and function. The brackets need seasonal painting up in the rust belt.
in leu of my own ignorance, I would consider 2" front synergy spring and a 3/4 block out back , add a 1" bump in front. Stick with a 285/75r17 . You could probably leave the rest alone . Maybe a set of front shock extensions to get some down travel back . Or you could spend a lot more and get...
If your not getting crazy with added travel . Save yourself some cash run the stock arms with relocation brackets , front/rear shock extension brackets. I would run a synergy 3" front and 2 " rear spring or Rusty's 1.5" block ,
Mopar extended or similar sway bar links . Make or buy some bumpstop...
IDK what all hostility is about . Folks are allowed to an opinion. It's a simple observation to the OPs experience. What I have found in my own experience of owning a JLR 6spd , JLU auto 2.0 , and JTR auto V6 , is the 2.0 ( non etorgue) is a noisy little thing that absolutely puts down better...
