This is my biggest concern with with the Airlift or Firestone bags. If it requires an unloaded truck to get the full benefit then it isn't as useful to me. For instance, I have my RTT and camping gear all loaded up. Before putting everything on/in I air up the bags and everything is peachy. If...
Those are exactly the ones I got. If I remember right, it took a couple hours to install. I had to drill out the pinch welds a bit and put some touch-up paint on so it wouldn't rust. Besides the bolts being stubborn because they had red loctite on them, it was a pretty painless install.
I really like my RockHard 4x4 slider/steps. They give me enough of a step along the whole length of the cab and are heavy duty so they offer good protection. It isn't the cheapest option but is good quality.
I am impressed, how did you manage to tow that without a hitch?
On a serious note, I didn't realize people considered the Gladiator a 1/2 ton. I always understood 1/2 ton as a 150/1500, 3/4 ton as a 250/2500, and 1 ton as a 350/3500 as many others here.

They can be found elsewhere if you google for them but this was the cheapest I found when shipping is taken into consideration.
I just drilled a hole in the roll bar plastic and fastened it directly to that. I wasn't sure it would be strong enough at first but I haven't had an issue yet and the plastic doesn't really flex when I pull it.
If I were to do it again I would move it rearward an inch or two. There is a plug...
I just went out and got the measurements on mine with the Mopar lift at full droop. I measured it at 10.5 Inches.
I also wasn't sure if the plate on the bottom was part of the lift or on all Gladiators so I measured it at 2"
I did not measure it at normal height tho as I have a rack with a...
I have been meaning to do exactly this for a couple months. Its reassuring to see someone else do it so I am not as worried about messing something up.
There is someone in another airbag thread that has them on his Ram - https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/airbags-firestone-vs-airlift.52197/page-2#post-876002
I have been eyeballing those bags for awhile, so that is good to know. Does anyone know how the Mopar lift compares to the Clayton lift as far as fitting these?
The compressor and tank are installed under the drivers side along the exhaust. I used the Viair Heavy Duty OBA kit and mounted it in the Maximus-3 cradle. If I were to do it again though, I would probably get Kleinn's OBA kit. The Kleinn kit has much better access to the air tank but the...
All I have is anecdotal evidence, but for the first 6 months after the Mojave was first released, about 9 out of the 10 Gladiators I saw were all Mojaves. I have actually seen more Mojaves than Rubicons, but I have only recently started seeing regular Sports in the wild.
I had a gift card laying around and already had an OBA setup so I figured I would add an air horn. Kleinn makes a nice kit that was super easy to install. Came with a horn mount so I didn't have to figure out where the horns would go. Only difficult part was finding a pull chain style switch...
Did some off-roading near Colorado Springs earlier this summer and came across some offset dips and the truck glided right thru it. Video doesn't really do it justice as they are deeper than they look.
