I have a 2022 Rubicon Gladiator with a 2.5” Clayton Overland Plus lift
Went with 38 Nitto ridge grappler load C’s which have been great, I chopped the fenders recently to make more room for articulation off-road but it seems I got a bunch more room.
Is there any issue removing bump stop or...
Ive got a Clayton 2.5” lift with fox 2.0 shocks. When I hit a bump in the road or train tracks the rear end kind of bounces left right left right rather than up and down. Is there anything I can do about this? Is it normal?
Stiffer sway bar?
Something not right / symmetrical?
Better shocks...
What's the largest and or best main battery I can get / fit in the Gladiator? Going to delete the aux in the process. I hear you can remove a block off plate to fit a bigger one.
I’ve got the American adventure labs inner fender liners front and rear as well as their fender chop LED lights.
I’ve chopped the fronts and got the lights and liners on.
For the rears I can’t decide if I want to just install the liners or split the fenders as well. The only downside is the...
Hey guys, I have a 38x12.50r17 Nitto Ridge Grappler (Load C) spare tire that i'm trying to fit.
I moved my exhaust as far forward as I could to gain some clearance there as it was touching the tire.
I've removed the heat shield though I might try to bend / cut / fanangle something back in...
Hello, running 38" nitto ridge grapplers on the Dana 44s that came with my 2022 Rubicon. I upgraded to rear axle shafts to 4340 Chromoly Steel versions which should be stronger but does anyone know how much? Do people still bend / break splines with these? Can I drive like a dick with my 5.13s...
I'm trying to wrap my head around this but it doesnt quite make sense.
For 20-25k you can lift your Jeep from the axle (which is nice) to fit bigger tires to further lift the Jeep. So you get the tire lift + an axle lift when it comes to ground clearance rather than just tire size and you...
Hello, Looking to upgrade the Tie rod / Drag link on my 2022 Gladiator Rubicon, it's the only peice I havent done yet. Currently i'm using a FOX ATS 2.0 steering stabilizer in the stock location.
I have a 5" Backspace 17x9 +1 offset wheel on 38" Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
Currently, RPM and APEX...
Hello. Before going on vacation I found that the highlighted 40a fuse goes to the starter and If you pull it the nothing happens when you try to start the vehicle. Great. This works well for long durations away from the truck. Can anything think of a way to accomplish the same from a hidden...
I’ve heard that once you go hydro it’s super easy to turn the steering wheel with light finger pressure. If that’s true is there possibly another way to install it to keep the baseline feel stiffer? Like a sports car? Maybe stiffer but consistent where it never gets any harder as the hydro...
I've heard in the past that some trackbars dont work with ARB diff covers and make contact, any idea if the Clayton kit works? Hoping to add these ARB diff covers during my regear but dont want to have problems.
Thanks!

So far this is working great, no rubbing anywhere lock to lock. I've got a little under an inch at full lock before touching the front lower control arms.
I'm about half an inch...
Hello, I'm trying to wrap my head around backspacing an offset. If the tire sticks out further than the wheel why is backspacing always mentioned in lift kits rather than offset?
a 17x8.5 0 offset wheel will have 4.75" of backspacing
a 17x9 0 offset wheel will have 5" of backspacing...
Looking for wheels to go with 38x12.50r17 load c Nitto ridge grapplers

I've got a Gladiator Rubicon on a 2.5" Clayton Overland Plus lift, not sure what tire I want to go with, currently, it's sitting on 35" load C BFG KO2s.

Hello. Got the back half of my Clayton 2.5” overland plus lift kit installed and noticed the rear pinion angle seems way off. Is this because I haven’t installed the front half of the lift yet? Or the slight driveway slope? Pretty sure I got the measurements right of the control arms.
Has anyone tried these 37x12.50 Baja Legend EXP's by Mickey Thompson? They're at only 70lbs....think this is right? Maybe a typo?

Installing a Clayton 2.5" Overland Plus lift kit this weekend, does everyone just use Loctite 242 on jam nuts etc? Would 243 be better? Obviously I'm not doing Red. Any other tips?
Hello, Currently I have a stock Rubicon Gladiator sitting on 35" BFG KO2s and with the memorial day says I'm looking at pulling the trigger on some stuff.
Options.
Looking at the Clayton Overland plus lift kits in either 2.5 or 3.5"
