It is a little odd to get used to it. Noisy and feels like you aren’t controlling the truck over obstacles. But it can be useful on a steep decline that is rocky and you want to make sure you maintain a very slow crawl. Best description is cruise control for rock crawling. I have tried it a...

I had to fill out a form and request a refund on mine.

Great first post! Welcome to the club and great color!

Yes they do seem to look best when used in conjunction with the stock rubicon sliders. Not a requirement to make them work but they dont cover up the pinch weld without the stock slider.

Another vote for Ace. I have had them on my past 3 Jeeps and love them on the Gladiator. They take a hard hit on rocks very well too!

Wow. That’s tall. What size tires do you have?

Ah yes. Good catch. Diesel is not part of my vocabulary yet. Still getting used to it being part of the Jeep world. Then I have to change again and embrace electric. Can’t we just get the gas guzzling Hemi?

Well I would guess 37” tires, 4” lift heavy bumpers and a heavy foot on 4.88 gears all contribute to bad mileage. I have accomplished 18-19 mpg on a road trip keeping the speed at about 60-65.

Ah well that makes more sense. Great to hear you are getting great gas mileage. I am jealous and wish for half that mpg every tank.

I find the seats to be very comfortable but call question to your mpg’s. I have seen people get over 20 mpg on all highway but over 30?? Is yours a diesel?

you would need to check tongue weight or the trailer and go from there. My experience with stock gladiator suspension is that the rear end squats a lot with tongue weight. Here is an article discussing it...

I was not trying to spark a debate, was more trying to share that there is a Jeep for everyone and if you change your use case you can change your Jeep to match in most cases. The different models are each a potentially better starting point based on what you use them for. As for my...

They are specifically designed and valved to be at the ride height from factory. If you lift you will need extensions to retain the stock shocks causing them to be out of range for their design. They may work but wont be providing the enhanced valving and design that you paid for.

All Wrangler/Gladiators can work well if used for what they were made for or modified to fit their use. If you are never driving on trails, sand, rocks or mud and are using your Gladiator for highway and trips to Costco then you don't need anything more than a sport and even that is overkill...

I would think you will be fine towing it. Does it have brakes and do you tow with a weight distribution hitch? While not a boat, I am towing a travel trailer that is 5,200lb dry with my lifted Gladiator on 37s with no issues. I do have it regeared to 4.88s though. As long as you are under your...

I have them and for the most part like having the added safety. In my year and a half owning my Gladiator the auto brake alert has gone off with an empty road a few times but seems related to overpass or bridge shadows. It hasn’t ever caused the brakes to be applied just the audio alert. The...

Welcome! Now let the build begin.

Thats a good question, would need others to chime in on that. I know the fronts are higher but assumed the rears were too since they appear to match in height.

Yes I think the max tow fenders are an inch or two lower. The Rubicon fenders are higher both front and rear to my understanding.
