I live in Knoxville and travel all over this area daily. There are a lot of Gladiator's here. I truly see more Gladiator's than Wranglers on a daily basis.
I have had 35's with 4.10's which were very light ( 52-54lbs ) and 37's that were fairly heavy ( 74-78lbs). The overall driving experience was better with the 35's, as was the fuel economy ( 1-2 mpg better ). Currently on 37's with 3.5 lift and the even appear small on the Rubicon.
I am probably going to be putting a 3/4 spacer in the rear. Even with the winch and bumper the front is level with the rear. I want just a tad of rake, both for appearance and for when loaded in the rear.
I have the same lift on my 2023 Rubicon, but with 37's. I believe that it comes with an adjustable track bar, but I am on the original control arms. I do have the upgrade of their N3 Nitrogen Shocks and I have no complaints. It rides/handles better than the stock Rubicon suspension. I am going...
Yes, it did return after a few weeks. I never called them back, as I traded it in on the Gladiator. Ironically, I was tickled that the "favorite's" worked on the Gladiator. Well, it was short lived. The same thing started on the Gladiator after just a few days. I have not called them yet. Last...
Yes, my account on my Bronco. Point being is that I had the same issue on my 2024 Bronco and after my call to Sirius XM and there reset, it works. So, I don't think that it is a Jeep or Uconnect thing.
Also, until about 60-90 days ago, I never experienced this on any of my Ford or Jeep...
Hello to all! I just wanted to share that this issue is not with unconnect or does it have anything to do with your Jeep. I traded in a 2024 Bronco Badlands on my Gladiator and it did the exact same thing!
I called Sirius when it kept doing it ( Bronco) and they did a reset or something like...
I figure mine the old fashioned way, by hand. Yes, the fuel economy on the display is usually higher. All but one of mine when new the speedometer showed about 2 mph faster than you were actually going....and conversely traveling more than you actually did.
After reprogramming for actually tire...
I really liked number two ( Max Tow ). It drove the best and was like a jack of all trades. The most that I lost was on the Shark Gray Rubicon ( 4,000). I actually made $2,200 on the Bronco and purchased my current for Clean Black Book Wholesale....or about 7,000 back of retail. The first was...
No, I have not talked myself in to it. I am still researching to learn as much as possible. I was hoping for to learn from member(s) whom has done something like this. One had on a JKU.
After taking the advice above I found that the Vertex Shocks are 1.5" longer in the rear and 1.75" in the...
He seems to think that it would be okay, mainly due to the longer bump stops that came with the 3.5 kit. I am leaning that way as the lower part of their intended application 4" lift and mine is 3.5.
Weird, but his lift is a 6" and mine is a 3.5. We measured from the axle tube to the spring...
Really curious about if okay to run shocks specifically for 4-6" lift on a 3.5 lift and if the Vertex Shocks are worth the money over the N3 Rc Nitrogen Shocks.
As far as the RC lift I am happy with it. My Rubicon had the AEV spacer lift with the oem Fox Shocks as well as all of the Synergy...
Interestingly he replaced these with Falcons and he preferred the ride and handling of the RC's. His fenders and inner fenders were custom made for the Falcons. I don't doubt his opinion. The reviews that I read are pretty good. I know some of the members have had experience with these.
I really like it so far. It is very heavy in both weight and thickness of the steel. I prefer the look of the oem steel Rubicon Bumper but it is not even close to the RC Bumper in strength. No issues whatsoever.

Hello to all! I find myself in need of advice. I have the other to buy a nearly new set of Rough Country Vertex Shocks for $500. They only have 1,000 miles on them. They lock as new.
I have a 2023 Gladiator Rubicon with the RC 3.5 lift and it has the upgrade to the N3 10 Nitrogen Shocks...
2023 Rubicon. Rough Country 3.5 lift, but has a heavy Rough Country Front Bumper with a Superlift SX10 Winch. Also N3 Nitrogen Shock upgrade. Teraflex wheels 18x9 with -12 offsets. 37x12.50r17 Kanati Trail Hog AT tires.
Seems high in the front to me so debating .75 rear spacer. Soon to install...
Yes, and in that process learn little to nothing. That is exactly why I shared this. To inform those as to what it is like to put thousands of miles on different platforms and combinations.
As I said at the beginning of this post.....it ain't for everyone. If the information even helps one...
I know, not for everyone. But, there is a point to all of this. After all is said and done I have put around 50,000 miles or more on four Gladiator's. From stock to fairly heavily modified. From 3.73 open differential, 3.73 limited slip to 4.10 E Lock on two of them. Tires have been 245/75r17...
