Added the Teraflex 1.5”:front spacers and 37’s to the wife’s JT yesterday. Just temporary till I add a JKS ln a few weeks. Will get it re geared over the Holidays.
Wife’s wheels and tires showed up yesterday, so I put them on. Fuel Zephyr’s wrapped with 37” Trail Grapplers. Added the front TeraFlex 1.5” spacers that I took off my JL. Looks good, she is happy. I will install a JKS lift over Thanksgiving, and get it re geared after that.
Got a little more done on the Gladiator this weekend. Installed a Poison Spyder Bruiser bumper with skid, Rigid lights, and a Warn VR 10S EVO. I wired all the factory AUX switch wiring into a Badgeglow wiring block, just to make future wiring a little easier. Anywho, obligatory pics.
A -32 offset, 9” wide wheel is 3.75” of backspacing. A -32 offset, 8” wide wheel is 3.25” of backspacing. A -32 offset on a 12” wide wheel is 5.25” of backspacing. Quite a bit of difference in how far the tire will stick out. Not the same. Backspacing is what matters, but, like the other guy...
^^^^^This. I have had 14 Jeeps now. Backspacing is the info I need to determine how far out the tire will stick out, and if it will rub at full lock, or full stuff. Lift kit manufacturers recommend a certain wheel backspacing for their lift. Not an offset.
Thanks. Shopping for lifts. Rock Krawler out now, or piece together a bastard lift. That is what I normally do with good results. Your truck looks great, BTW.

I noticed that there isn’t new brake lines. Not required on the Gladiator?
Are the recommended 3” bumpstops included?
New front driveshaft required?
Readily available next month?
Looking at the X Factor/No Limits/S1
Thanks for your time.
