  1. Steering Stabilizer Install

    Some stabilizers, like the ones you listed, should be a pair of bolts and swap. Others are more complicated and require new clamps or mounts. There is also the option of a new mount with the ones you mentioned, a mount that moves the stabilizer a little up and out of the way so it is less likely...
  2. Rock Krawler 2” Lift

    That makes sense to me. If you like the stock ride you have and don't want to change that, a 2" spacer lift with matching shock extensions and bumpstop extensions (you need to pair the shock extensions with bumpstop extensions) along with either a set of longer lower front control arms or a set...
  3. trailer pulling.

    There is a factory brake controller you can get, but I think most go with aftermarket options. I am yet another person who went with Redarc. They offer a harness that plugs directly into the factory harness. So it is simple to install. No doubt bluetooth options are fine, but I would rather have...
  4. Help identifying what this is

    Typically OBD2 trackers aren't going to be easily unplugged like that. At least not the ones shady car dealers slide in in case they need to repo your car. For sure I would consider unplugging it. Are your wheels stock sizes? Just wondering if the previous owner used that widget to change tire...
  5. Help identifying what this is

    It looks like an OBD2 bluetooth widget. I would pull it out and see if it has any markings on it.
  6. Replaced Shocks… Still rides the same.

    If a shock does not expand on its own that typically means it has lost its gas charge. The shock can still work, but without that charge it will be more prone to fade when pushed over bumpy roads. The stock black shocks are low pressure shocks I believe, while your aftermarket Bilsteins are high...
  7. Need a tire expert to explain right way to balance

    That really is not the point of Road Force Balancing. When properly done, Road Force Balancing will typically require less weight to balance a wheel/tire. And it should balance better. However, all tire balancing is at the mercy of the tech doing it. Any balancing job is only as good (or bad) as...
  8. do these trucks break down a lot?

    No. It is not normal for them to break down. But if yours does have an issue and it needs a part to fix it, you may have to wait for that part to show up. It sounds like you have an issue with the dealership. But maybe a Jeep isn't for you. For comparison, we have two Jeeps, a JKU and a JT...
  9. Help with stiff ride after 1.5 lift on 23 Overlander

    If you install 2" spacers and nothing else, you messed up. But it still will not make your suspension stiff, it will not make your springs stiff. You may have other issues, but a stiff ride will not be one of them. And if you were to add bumpstop extensions to that setup, you would also be...
  10. Help with stiff ride after 1.5 lift on 23 Overlander

    If you need more clearance to run larger tires, you should get either a lift or fenders with more clearance. Rubi's have fenders with more clearance, and thus they can typically clear 35's without a lift. Non-Rubi's can usually clear 33"s without a lift. Running a leveling kit with a bumpstop...
  11. Help with stiff ride after 1.5 lift on 23 Overlander

    Spacer lifts are fine. Spring spacers do not change the spring rate, they only raise the ride height of the vehicle. The spring rate does not change. The TeraFlex Leveling kit does includes a set of front bumpstop extensions, but I would say installing them is optional. And by optional, I mean I...
  12. Fuel Vapor 20x?

    That wheel, the Fuel Vapor, comes in three different configurations in a 20" size it seems. 20x9 wide with 3.75" backspacing 20x10 wide with 4.75" backspacing 20x9 wide with 5" backspacing The wheels should have there size stamped / molded on them. For backspacing you can measure. The standard...
  13. Advice for cheap front shock replacement gladiator Mojave

    Some shocks will require you swap out the bushings in the ends, as mentioned, the Mojave uses larger bolts. Some shocks are available with the larger bushings already installed, others will need you to swap out the bushings.
  14. 1.5” leveling kit, tire size

    Whatever size tire would have fit before the leveling kit will fit after the leveling kit. As a leveling kit does not lift the Jeep, it does not add bumpstop extensions, it does not change what size tires will fit. The 285/75-17 should fit. A 35" tire would likely rub if you flexed the...
  15. Need Help figuring out larger tire size

    If it is anything like us, the towing and the off roading / rock crawling go hand in hand. We tow the RV to where we are going to go off roading and camp, go off roading, then at the end of the trip we drive home towing the RV. As mentioned, you did not say which JT you have and which engine /...
  16. New to me Gladiator; Help me understand what I've got.

    It certainly looks like it in the photos. And then inside the spring at the bottom is a bumpstop extension. Of course, that looks to be a spring spacer on the top but since that is not a stock height spring it gets more complicated. But that looks like a 3.5" lift spring with a decent size...
  17. 2021 gladiator eco diesel front bottoms out on stops! What’s the best copilot springs to fix the issue

    There are a few brands out there that offer different lifts with different springs for the diesel. If a lift does not differentiate between diesel and gas, and doesn't offer a spring set specifically for the diesel I would avoid it. You will probably hear nothing but good things about springs...
  18. New to me Gladiator; Help me understand what I've got.

    Anyway, that looks like a hodge-podge lift. A spacer up front along with an aftermarket spring, and a stock spring with a smaller spacer in back. But the concerning thing I saw was the pretty decent sized bumpstop extensions up front. I wonder how long the shocks are.
  19. New to me Gladiator; Help me understand what I've got.

    Hard to know without measuring the lower front control arm if it is stock or the Mopar longer arm. As mentioned, it is mainly about what you want, how you are going to use it. I like geometry brackets, even when I run adjustable arms, I prefer the improvement to ride quality they bring to the...
  20. New to me Gladiator; Help me understand what I've got.

    I would just replace that with a lift of the desired height from a quality vendor like Clayton, MetalCLoak, or AEV. Which vendor and what height would depend on how you will be using it, and what size tires you are going to run, along with how you want it to look.
