Think I could have the rear model wrong; might be 181 front and 182 rear. Either way, the site says they do not fit. Guessing the sites are not accounting for the lift. Recommend calling Jonathan or Kyle at American Off-Road Customs in Vegas to check which they used and whether they did anything...
MetalCloak site has only JT/JL Rubicons listed. Not sure what determines that compatibility. Best to call MC to find out. https://metalcloak.com/metalcloak-heavy-duty-drag-link-jl-wrangler.html
3.5" Gamechanger adds just about 3.5" in my experience: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/now-with-gamechanger-3-5-and-much-more.26566/#post-429480
Thank you. Yes, I think it turned out very close to spot-on. Before the lift, the top of my JTR was somewhere 72"-73". Now, with tires that are listed as 3.7" greater in diameter (1.85" more lift from tires) but sitting on wheels that are 2" wider (deduct some of that increase in tire height to...
Had mine installed last Wednesday. Here’s the link to my pics and initial review: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/now-with-gamechanger-3-5-and-much-more.26566/#post-426203
It's you. Ha. Actually, it's just camera angles, grade, and the fact that there's about .5 inch less clearance in the rear fender well. If anything, the JTR is now level or just the least bit raked with the rear still being the higher end.
They're for the CB. Likely a bit overkill, but I wanted to use the existing holes in the rock rail for a custom bracket. Think the dual setup looks better. so.... The red poles are extensions used to get the best SWR reading over the roofline. I painted them to match the factory red of the tow...
Ordered UpDown Air system and Max-Modular rack (think I am done for now, ha), and updated my MC++ review with pics:

What can I say? The Gamechanger for me is a game changer. On Wednesday, the good folks at American Off-Road Customs in Las Vegas--Jonathan and Kyle--hooked me up with the lift, suspension, wheels and tires I had imagined would be ideal for my JTR LE. And, I could not be happier with the choices...
Good eye. Yes, thought it was amusing to re-use my carbon fiber M license plate frame on my anything-but-lightweight Gladiator.
Mounts are custom brackets off the rock rails and quick-disconnects for antennas: What did you do TO your Gladiator today?
Had installed: full MetalCloak Game Changer 3.5" lift including their Drag Link, HD Tie Rod and Stabilizer, and 1310 Drive Shaft; Fox Smoothies front and rear; Black Rhino Abrams 17x9.5 (-18) wheels, Nitto Ridge Grappler tires in 37x12.5x17; and, a Tazer Lite. Major compliments to Jonathan and...
Knew you'd like them and have an easy time with the install. So glad you do and did. I Have run mine through heavy rain and snow without issue. Certain weather will not be a problem. Enjoy.
Installed BuiltRight bedside Molle panels, along with mounted trax, hatchet, shovel, emergency light and a Jerry can attached to the side rail. Assembled and strapped down my pup's new truck crate, which is very Jurassic Park in look and build as well as crash rated. Added Jeep slush mats...
Cool. You will really like the light from the BDs. I have the steel bumper. Install was very easy—plug-and-play, really. Can’t imagine it’s any different with the standard bumper.
Look forward to reading your take once you have them installed.
