The stock wheels have a 44mm offset. Most aftermarket rim are 0 offset. Which is equivalent to 1.75” inch wheel spacers. Things get more complicated with rim width and backspace. But that said. The stock rims have a very large positive offset. edit: my brain was inverted.

I’ve measured them. The mopar shox are 2.5 inch in outer diameter.

The mopar shox are 2.5s they are not 2.0s. replace the last digit in the part number with a C to see the newest revision. But I’d recommend asking all mopar parts to see if they are available https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/forums/allmoparparts-com.100/

I’ve gotten questions about this. The synergy instructions were updated to show that axle bracket grinding is needed. Unfortunately their rework instructions wouldn’t work.The interference is on the opposite side. To use their instructions I’d need to use a ball joint press to move the bushing...

I have amber SAE on my cowl. I had driving beams there. They(drivening pattern ) are rad but aren’t street legal. And there is a lot of light spill on the hood. The SAE Ambers Put a nice glow on the hood. In regards to spill on the hood messing with night vision. I think floods would be best...

More then just 1 on this forum with the issue with synergy. and there is more on the JL forum. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/mopar-lift-chirping.31955/page-3

I’m doing Milwaukee M12 and dewalt 20v. Best of both worlds. IMHO. I decommissioned my hitachi stuff. that said I did my lift with wrenches. I didn’t have that dewalt impact at that time. I always buy the tool I need after I needed it. but I used it for the track bar replacement. It went...

The best tip I can give on install is to get a good impact driver. This little dude saved me a bunch of time

the depth and color on theses wheel looks really good in person. They are silver, carbon grey and a machined lip. Which doesn’t come through in photos. And the bright color makes the wheels look bigger to me. The only thing I’d upgrade to is some Hutchison rock monsters if I put Dana 60s under it.

I’m pretty happy with the track bars. Once adjusted, I think it’s an improvement of highway manners. No more wiggle over undulations.

I’m not a mechanic. I’m a electrical engineer. This is easy stuff. It was fun. The process of turning wrenches was a good work out.

This is my build thread. Thus most every question you’re asking is in it.

Using a grinder, ball joint press and some paint. I got the synergy track bar to fit. I think there is enough metal left to do the job.

The JT version is straight, the JL has a bend in it. 3049b. While it’s a nice piece. The bushings don’t rotate like metal cloak. I’d do metal cloak front and rear if I had a do over. https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/track-bars/3049b-evo-manufacturing-rear-adjustable-track-bar

The picture I posted above shows the track bar touching the bracket. Synergy said that the irregularities with Jeeps brackets are not their issue. Plenty of other posts on this topic regarding synergy. I basically im going eat the cost of the track bar. Way o life installed on an...

wind noise. I just don’t notice it. It’s a non factor. ( premium soft top) That said, at low speeds and at stop lights, ambient noise can be problem. It just doesn’t isolate you. One time I was stuck in traffic next to road construction, and that jackhammer was loud and clear. And I can here...

The front trackbar is a bit of a fiasco. I noticed a squeak. And turned out, the trackbar rubs. Synergy fail, they have recently added instructions on how to trim, but It won’t help my interference

It’s been said a few times, but the IFP type steering damper will make the Jeep pull to the right (they should only be used in a push-pull double damper configuration). The thru shaft versions cost more, but it’s a much better solution, it’s what I installed

Soooo I put a EVO rear track bar in. I was feeling a little skeptical after measuring for a rear offset. There just isn’t much of a correction needed. And getting an accurate measurement, Forget about it. after doing some trigonometry I settled on adding +1/4 inch. Which is reasonable given my...

That escalated quickly :)
