My issues with EVO were with their bushings. I had multiple control arms and the front track bar bushings all fail within 1 year. I also wanted more height so was upgrading to a larger lift so wanted a company that had a strong reputation and had better bushings.

In actuality, I have had issues with the joints on most of the EVO parts and have been gradually pulling them off and replacing. I live in Philadelphia area and I think they build the parts for non snow climates. We have sale on the roads all winter and it seemed to eat the rubber causing a...

I went from a 2.5” EVO to a 3.5” Clayton and the ride is very similar. The rear seems to sag less towing with the Clayton though. My biggest ride improvement came from upgrading from stock shocks to Falcon adjustables.

I don’t have this setup any longer and have upgraded to a taller lift. However it wasn’t completely level, I would say about 1” higher in the rear. But I tow and that was helpful when the bed is loaded.

I pick the Wrangler 392 hood with a functional scoop. Oh and while we are at it maybe put that nice 6.4 under my hood too!

mine included it. I bought the kit from Northridge and it was included. I did buy the kit as a stage 2 though and added other components later.

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, the terrain drives the tire selection for sure. I had Trail Grapplers on a past Jeep and really liked them as well, just were a little noisier than the Ridge Grapplers. I have been happy with the angles and capabilities with the 37s and the 3.5" lift. IT will...

Happy to help. Have you checked out the Ridge Grapplers? They have the look and most of the functionality of the trail grapplers with a better and quieter highway ride. Here is a pic of my JTR on the 3.5” and 37s.

I have plenty of room with the 3.5" Clayton. I took the spacers out and could now run 38-39" tires without rubbing off road. I love the look of the 3.5" with 37s though.

In my opinion on a Rubicon you can make the 2.5" EVO work with 37s but wheeling I did rub a decent amount. I added 3/4" spacers on top of the coils and all was good. I have since moved to a 3.5" Clayton lift and got a little over an inch height increase over the 2.5" with 3/4" spacers and am...

it looks like most are recommending the 1350 on the Gladiator. I read somewhere that stock is bigger than a 1310.

Seems like a very personal choice to ask of the forum. If you are asking me I run a Baltimore Ravens frame.

Can you do $175 shipped? Paul

I am sure thats possible too. Very easy install. I find it easier to work in the wheel area by removing a tire but I am sure it could be done just going underneath.

I don’t have experience with the lift kit you are referencing however the max tow does have Rubicon wide track axles and the stock sport wheel appears to have the same spec as the Rubicon wheel for offset. I would not expect you will have any issues if they indicate the Rubicon setup is acceptable.

Steel has its advantages but so does alloy. IMO, alloy looks much better. I will admit that I cracked an alloy wheel once (and I don’t think I was doing anything dumb) but have been wheeling alloys for the last 15 years and one cracked wheel doesn’t seem terrible or frequent. Was an unfortunate...

They are definitely better shocks that stock sport shocks. Won’t likely make a massive difference but you should feel it on bumps. Install is super easy. A bolt at the top and bottom of each just swap the shock. If you need instructions just read any lift instruction sheet and see the shock...

I ordered it online at justforjeeps.com and installed it myself. Was about $250.

I may be just unlucky or my Gladiator is somehow unique (Rubicon with the safety package) but I have had 2 different Curt controllers in my Jeep and both had issues. They have replaced the connector cable 3 times and ended up taking the whole thing back and I now have a Mopar stock unit that...
