FWIW, I bought Accutuned fox 2.5s for the rear and stock Fox 2.5s for the front (Accutune didn't have the fronts available). The 'tuned' shocks had extremely soft compression damping and rebound damping was way too fast. I ran them with both LSC and HSC dials all the way in, all the time, and...
I used a 6" width of 3M Scotchgard PPF, and wrapped it from the door sill so it covers the body under the door as well. It has held up well to use. I do need to redo the driver's door, the edge of the door sill/body has worn quite a bit. I was worried about anything rougher/thicker tearing up...

Sure thing, my compressor is a single though, not sure if a double would fit in this space. I've attached a few photos here. Excuse the dirt....
Here's a youtube video that shows where I mounted my compressor (not my video): . Essentially just remove the engine cover and use the front...
Depending on your comfort level - I often lay mine down on in the bed, rear wheel in the front driver-side corner strapped to the D-ring, and (my bike is long) the tailgate halfway down. Tires, pedal, and handlebar end are touching the truck bed. The rest of the time I have an EVOC ½ tailgate...
I also have an ARB single mounted under the hood. I have the chuck coming right off the compressor, and also F&R ARB lockers. I did not need an extra mount.... So just the compressor and the hose kit was like $350? There are fancier options but it gets the job done just fine. I can inflate my...
The RJ geometry brackets will allow for more droop, they keep the pinion angle pointed closer to the front of the driveshaft. Without them, the driveshaft was the limiting factor for droop on my truck, the Rzeppa joint would bind at the pumpkin (this bind occurred VERY close to full extension)...
I have the lift you're discussing. They hadn't released the rear sway bar or the newer springs when I bought it (mine came with Eibach springs). Since then, I've added the rear sway bar, rear springs, and their rear geometry correction brackets. I run Fox 2.5 shocks designed for 4.5-6 front...
I still have mine. 28,000+ miles, 21 months of ownership. Lots of hard off-roading and rock crawling. Stock steering stabilizer but aftermarket tierod and drag link. Steering box feels A-OK.
My Sting Gray Gladiator has the same problem your experiencing. Everything that touches it scratches it. Here in AZ, we expect anything that goes offroad to get "desert pinstriping" pretty quickly, but I feel like my Gladiator's paint is way softer than some of my friends' trucks. I put some 3M...
This is with the soft accutune damping, before I revalued the rear similar toyour (8th?) revision. Yes, I think the rear hopping along with a slight lift of the throttle prompted the wash out to the right. The truck rides much better now. I’ll try to get out to this wash for some more video with...

Here is a still shot of the maximum "buck"
I've been MIA on this thread as well as revalving the front and searching for stiffer front springs. Was busy getting my Moto ready for a trip to Moab - I didn't...
The Duralast AGM that I'm using is still going strong in the Jeep! I've had zero issues since I replaced the OEM with this. On my motorcycle I run antigravity lithium batteries - they seem to be great. I've had one for 2 years/300+ hours and a ton of starts (I probably restart my bike 50-100...
Here's a quick clip of what prompted the revalve - the front is tracking okay, but the rear is just bouncing like mad and it's obvious the shocks are way undervalved. When the truck jerks to the right - I think that was a combination of the rear gaining and losing traction as the truck bounced...
I am running Rock Jock 2.5 springs in the rear, and Synergy 4" springs in the front. (both designed for gas engines) The synergy's are softer than I'd prefer but were the only springs I could find at the time with enough free length for my setup. I have the 4.5-6" shocks, 2" bumpstop spacers...
I did a revalve on my rear shocks this past weekend. @CrazyCooter, thanks for sharing your charts. I ended up doing a Fox #90 rebound tune (all .015 shims) and mimicked your compression tune on page 7. So far it is 1000x better but I still need to give it a proper shakedown in the desert.
I...
The rear antirock was designed to be very close to the stock “spring rate”. If you’re not changing the front, I wouldn’t expect a huge difference just swapping the stock rear bar for the rear antirock.
I put a front antirock on my Gladiator with about 1000 miles on the truck, so i don’t have...
I am also running a motorcycle battery - Duralast Group 14 AGM - I replaced the dead OEM battery with it about 3 months ago and it's been going strong. I don't recall having the clearance or the terminal issues you mentioned. I have the 3.6L engine.
