I’m running the full 5100 setup with eibach springs. It’s a night and day difference between the stock setup amd the combo I’m running. It makes driving the truck on road so much more enjoyable and less driver fatigue from constant swaying and bobbing the rubicon suspension.
I went with the franken lift setup with eibach and Bilstein 5100, mopar front lower control arms, synergy front track bar, and teraflex rear track bar bracket. I have had the parts sitting in my garage for about two months (except the mopar lca’s and track bar which I installed when I got them...
@ASFIR 4x4 do you have any details or pics of the sliders/steps you all have for the gladiator? I got the Halloween email and saw them. They look interesting since they keep the rubicon slider and add a step.
I have noticed that the clutch has improved over time as well. I’m currently at 24k on mine amd it might be a mental thing but it feel like the friction zone has become pronounced and the push a little bit stiffer. I did have the recall completed but it was just the software, I don’t think they...
I appreciate the insight and by no means was I trying to say you didn’t need any of the items. A Jeep is a Jeep and we all are going to make them individually to match what we want them to be. I’m just glad people are using them and getting out there.

If you haven't read the overland journal...
It has a 1.5” space up front and a 3/4” in the rear. I have new eibach 2” springs, bilstein 5100 and new bump stops in my garage right now just waiting to get installed.
Aev wheels would answer the mail on your desire to keep the wheels inside the fenders. I have the salta xr’s and the side wall just poke out a little and the tread is all under the fender.
It’s the same process, people just don’t do it and manufactures probably don’t care. New motorcycles are the same way. No exceed a specific speed or stay at a specific rpm for an extended period of time and go back in after 600~ miles for an oil change. Moto guzzis in particular since their rear...

I got my synergy track bar installed today, also recentered my steering wheel. The synergy track bar is beefy, I also liked the fact that you can adjust it with it mounted to the vehicle. It was a steep learning curve today on how to measure the axle, what was the best way. I figured it...
