Little bit about the build:
2023 zenith silver 3.6 sport
35x10.50 17 kenda klever RT on 17x8 vision wheels
2.5” rough country lift with the upgraded shocks, adjustable forged track bars, 3/4” rear puck for leveling when loaded
4:88 revolution gears with torsen diffs
Arb nodular diff covers...
I went with the RC as it was complete and ease of install. I knew it was not going to see much off-road use but mainly just camping and fire roads. I have a k5 blazer 3 link front 4 link rear on 42” for the tough stuff lol
I run the 2.5 rough country lift with 3/4” rear pucks to keep it leveled when hauling. I ordered the upgraded shocks and adjustable track bars at same time. Running 35”x10.5 17 kenda klever RT that measured 34.6” on the truck at 36 psi. Zero rub issues and a pretty good ride so far for the money.
I hope none of these pics violate any rules as some include 2A items, but they reference different colors and finishes of cerakote. Unfortunately it’s what I have on my phone currently. Branson cerakote on the web has pretty good gallery
I do a lot of cerakote projects and have had great success with maintaining detail. The coating is well adhered with a little bit of blasting or bristle blasting. Cerakote cures at lower temperatures and less time heat soaking traditionally.
Second gladiator with the 2.5” rough country lift and very happy with it. 35” kenda klever on 17x8.5 vision. Mostly overlanding and road use but haven’t seen any wear issues on my last truck. This one only has 500 miles , added the bumpers and winch since this pic
