End link bushings, ke the Swaybar link bushings, or the ones on the housing?

I have the Tyger roll up. For the money it's hard to beat. IMO it is OEM quality. Another plus is that the interior cross rails are slightly bowed which A) gives slightly more room and B) keeps water from puddling and sagging the middle of the cover.

Your sarcasm was obvious. Or so I thought.

Leveling kit - spacers used to raise the front of a vehicle to remove the vehicle's rake. Lift kit - longer springs, shocks, brackets, sway bar links, replacement suspension arm and steering components, etc... to raise the entire vehicle some amount.

No, you don't. It's a level.. not a lift. They. Are. Done. All. The. Time. I was a tech for 17 years, I'm aware of how lifts affect things like suspension, steering and driveline. What you're missing is that I'm not trying to stack 3" of spacers under an unmodified Gladiator. In fact, I'm...

Man, that is a fabulous color.

I'm not sure what's not "real" about spacers but leveling kits are very common. They're in wide use and work fine.

I'm not quite sure about your numbers. I currently have 1.5" of spacers in the front which is a pretty standard level for a Gladiator. With a factory front bumper it sat fairly level before I installed the bumper and winch. I want to add 1/2" for a total of 2".... Putting just a set of 3.5"...

I had to do the same with my Fab Fours bumper. The fairlead plate sandwiced between the bottom of the winch and the top of the bumper, this necessitated longer bolts too. I was able to find some, crisis averted. Good winch. It works😁

Same. Anvil is a great color.

I don't care about the work involved. A pair of 1/2" spacers would likely be 1/4 the price of new springs. It's a stopgap until I buy a lift kit.

Well, the Teraflex kit uses stacked spacers, and they seem to work fine including at the limits of the suspension articulation. But I digress. I'm not going to do anything more than spacers until it's time for a full lift, which will probably happen next fall. Buying things twice and all that.

Guess I'll need to do the same. It was colder tonight when I left the gun club and the squeak was more prominent...

Pretty close to 50 degrees today and the noise is mostly gone. I'm going to conclude that it's caused by cold temperatures. Wonder what it is.

Does it sound like the noise made in the video in this thread? https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/noise-problem.90678/

Also, for those with knowledge or who have used both, any preference over Blackstone for some other company such as what the OP posted? I've got no complaints about what Blackstone did, just curious if there's a compelling reason to pick one over the other.

I have a Teraflex 1.5" leveling kit on my Sport S. After installing an aftermarket front bumper and winch, it's lost a bit of height. Any adverse affect if I raise it another 1/2", and is it ok to stack a 1/2" spacer on top of the existing one, or should I just get a 2" spacer? Thanks.

I used to own an airplane and would have Blackstone do an analysis every oil change(every 50 hours). Good thing to do. I just crossed 15,000 miles but am somewhat tempted to start doing this myself, mainly just the data nerd in me liking to see what's going on.

I have a Heeler/Shepherd mix. He's awesome.
