One thing you need to consider is the final weight of your build, are you gonna keep it simple or are you going to add a lot of weight to it, winch, steel bumbers, rock sliders, rack, rtt, etc. That will help you determine the weight specs for your shocks and springs, thats really the only...
The L brackets will attach to the crossbar on the top side assuming you have one of those sherpa racks with the side walls that prevent you from attaching from the bottom. Theres no other place to put the brackets, try to distribute the weigth as best as you can. I have a front runner rack on my...
I was trying to find my invoice so i could tell you the exact part but so far no luck, found everyone but that one. Ill call the dealership in the am and have them email it to me.
Sounds right to me. I went Johns 4x4 in Boulder and I paid 3k for labor for my 3in Dobinson lift, with MetalCloak front and rear control arms and track bars and MetalCloak/Fox steering stablizer, parts were 6k.
I installed the Auto Lynx Sway bar disconnects and super happy with articulation but now my front right tire rubs some with my full width bumper. Was thinking about adding a coulple heavy duty washers to move the bumper out some and found these DV8 Bumper extensions on Amazon. Does anyone have...
The Dobinson shocks and springs have been great! The weight I added with the bumpers, winch, Smart cap etc caused about 2in of sag, front bump stops were bottoming out on speed bumps and was getting swaying when turning. After the 3in Dobinson/Metal Cloak lift all that went away. It retained the...
Dont have that bumper but I did move mine cause i didnt like how low it was and wanted a better location for reaching in and make adjustments. BTW, i also am running into clearance issues since I installed my Apex sway bar discos and will be making the change for a mid or stubby.
I also have a heavy overlander set up, most lift kits are not designed for the extra 1000lbs. I have 3in lift with Dobinson MRR Shocks and Dobinson Springs, Rear Springs are rated for approx 800 to 1200lbs.
My passenger side upper bump stop is leaking on my Mojave and i was quoted over $700 just for the one oem bump stop and thats not including labor. I have a heavy overlanding build and like to take on difficult trails in Co. My local shop said installing aftermarket bump stops would require some...
I have Metal Cloak Front and Rear lower control arms and track bars with my 3in Dobinson lift on 37s. I have had zero issues with handling or suspension, also they can take a hit. Whatever CAs you decide on definitely consider Rustys Lower CA skid plates and protect your new investment.
Wanted to give an update now that I've had my Toyo 37x12.5x17R Open Country RT Trail tires for almost 2 months. My mpg has gone up about 1 to 1.5 MPG! Before I would fluctuate between high 13 to mid 14 MPG never even sniffed 15 MPG. Now Im avg about 15.4 mpg with a high of 16.2 which has been a...
I bought my Mojave used with 56k and the extended warranty for around 3K has paid for itself already and I only bought it last Oct. I have had 3 cam lifters replaced(problem with 2020 and 21 gladiators), all four doors making a loud clicking noise when opening and closing repaired, Driver side...
Welcome to the club, if you wanna go all in you can purchase some from Amazon and your kids will enjoy giving them out also! I was like you and not really into it but my kids loved it and its a way to have the family invested some into the gladiator as much as me.
The other reason to go with frame mounted is when mounting to the body, theres a very good chance you may break a body mount bolt trying to remove it There are a lot of posts on here dealing with that problem. They are super tight and very problematic when trying to remove and turn a 2 hour...
