What are your goals? Clayton will be cheaper by the time you add shocks, and IMO is the better choice regardless of that. EVO is overpriced and has its problems. They’re customer service is fantastic as well.

@Jeeperjamie I guess you’ll have to do it and end this “I’ve heard” once and for all!

I’ve heard that the Rubicon springs won’t lift the front of a max tow. Only on a sport and overland.

Considering the Rubicon is only rated for 650 pounds less than your Max Tow and that’s known to largely be because of the added weight on the Rubicon, I’d say you’re more than ok.

I just realized you said 35x12.5. Max rim width is 11 for those so that’s a stretched tire.

Honestly, it’s going to look pretty ridiculous without a lift. Not many people like that wide of a tire on a Jeep as it is, but with a lift it at least looks proportional.

According to the parts catalogs they’re all the same.

I believe that's a no because of the size of the brakes. 15 definitely will not. I don't believe 16's do either.

Is that a configurable setting? I was wondering how some people had that while in Drive.

My first vehicle was a ‘95 YJ. Super clean. 4cyl, 5 speed. It was slower than a lawnmower and you couldn’t hear the radio above 40mph, but I loved every bit of it.

JK Gear & Gadgets YouTube channel did exactly that on their Gladiator. Falcon stabilizer first, then synergy brace. They said the brace was still a very noticeable improvement.

Looks like a 3.45 gear ratio. Either way, that's definitely way too tall for a 35. I bet the 4.10's or 4.56's would feel significantly better.

I initially had the intention of buying a JLU before I got the Gladiator, and really liked the idea of that turbo 4 for that very reason. If it weren't for the rear mounted battery pack setup that runs underneath the vehicle, I probably would have considered it.

Are you referring to the trackbar/sector shaft brace?

I said that, not because I can't, but because I know of nobody else on here who gets that kind of mileage with 35's.

Curious, what air pressure do you run those 35's at?

You seem to be an anomaly with this. My max tow never got better than 19-19.5 stock and with my current setup I get 16-17 over a tank. I'm not hard on the pedal, it just doesn't get great mileage. FWIW, I'm also hand calculating, not going by the dash mpg. The dash always reads about 1 mpg...

I could be wrong, but I don't think the rock rails are 33lbs each. I put some on my sport and don't recall them being too heavy. Maybe 33 lbs for both.

Please do! It’ll be interesting to see where it ends up.

How long has it been since you put the kit on? I can't imagine it'll be settled for at least a couple of weeks.
