I just picked up my gladiator from getting a set of 40’s installed. I’ve had a set of Morimoto super 7’s for a couple months now with no issues. I noticed today while driving home from the tire shop (in the dark) my nights seemed brighter than usual when on low beam. I got home and noticed that...

Looking at installing 1 of these on my gladiator. Any one have the luxury of comparing both? I’m assuming the ebc would bite better but create more dust and the hawk would be a good balance. Thoughts? Experiences?

I recently had revolution 5.13’s installed in my 21 rubicon gladiator. I’ve now reached the break in point where I’m doing 70mph on the highway. At 65 it’s as smooth as could be, but when I get up to 70 I can feel vibration in the floor of the jeep that definitely wasn’t there before. It’s not...

I just had a set of 5.13 gears installed by a local one man shop (who has done many gear sets). Upon first drive I’m noticing some noise around 55 mph. The jeep was silent before and isn’t now. You can hear some whine that clears up once you get to 60. If you let off the throttle there’s a...

Picking my jeep up today from getting 5.13 gears installed. I plan to replace my 37” ko2’s soon. IMO they look wayyy too small on the jeep. I’m not helping anything with the KBD flares either. At 30psi they’re measuring 35” tall. I contemplated going with a more true to size 37 but worried that...

I’m having my jeep regeared. I have a Tazer installed but the installer of the gears hasn’t worked with one before. I was going to just program it when I pick it up but if I don’t have to sit in the parking lot messing with it I’ll just drive it home and do it then.

I’m about to get my jeep regeared and am considering new tires after. I was looking at 38’s but there aren’t many options and some 40’s are similarly priced and similar weight. Obviously the leverage will be greater with the 40. Can stock 44’s handle 40’s? I don’t offroad but might some day and...

Have seen this on other forums but from years ago; figured why not try and start one here. Yeah I know it’s not scientific and is subjective on so many levels. But this still gives an idea for people looking to purchase. Looking for the following info: 1. Gladiator model and engine 2. Tire...

I have a 21’ JTR. Currently it’s in 37 ko2’s. It really isn’t bad at all drivability wise. I see 8th, sometimes it’ll hunt a little but I don’t think it’s that bad. Having said that I do think it could be better, and a little more resistant to hills and wind. I do tow on occasion. Over the...

I’ve been considering regearing my gladiator for some time. I thought I had heard via a video that the jl and jt axles are different than the prior jk’s and there’s a different process while performing the gear change. I know they have the FAD but I thought there’s something different that makes...

I have a set of control arm drop brackets/geometry correction brackets for a Jeep gladiator. I loose fitted these to my Jeep and found that they DO NOT WORK WITH METALCLOAK UPPER CONTROL ARMS. The pocket in which the upper control arm mounts to the bracket isn’t large enough to accept the...

I have the itch for 38’s. Currently running 37” ko2’s, which fortunately weight 62 lbs. I’m nervous about stepping up to a 38 due to weight and increased diameter. But I REALLY want them LOL. Anyone running them with 4.10’s? I really don’t want to regear and am perfectly content with how the...

Hoping this will reach someone that may be considering this combination. I purchased the evo drop brackets to install on my 3.5 MC GC lift. I installed the brackets and upon reinstallation of the upper control arm I have found that the “pocket” that the upper control arm slides into and...

This probably has been discussed a few times, and I know some of it has been touched on buried in other threads I’ve seen. But I’m genuinely curious how much of the benefits of drop brackets comes from the addition of caster vs lowering the control arm? A lot of people report better stability...

Hello all. I have a 21’ JTR. I think the current most aggravating thing is the amount of play/dead space in the steering wheel. Is there a way to tighten it up? I’m aware of the steering box adjustment but that seems quite debated as to whether it should be touched or not. The tie rod/drag link...

I have a rear track bar with relocation bracket, rear upper control arms, steering stabilizer, Rocksport red shocks. All parts are 2 months old and have 2k miles on them max. willing to ship prices are as follows would like to keep the track bar and bracket together, they retail for 400...

Hello all. Currently I’m running 37” c load ko2’s which are listed at 63lbs, I’m looking at a used set of 37” Baja boss at’s that are listed at 80lbs each. So 68lbs total increase in tire weight. im still on the factory 4.10’s (JTR) and currently happy with how it drives. I’m worried by adding...

When the suspension flexes a little bit on my gladiator there’s popping coming from underneath. I notice it most when driving in town and making certain turns that get the body to roll over some. It’s like a creek/pop sound. I had my wife drive it in the yard as there’s a spot where yo can flex...

Looking to sell a full set of basically brand new Rocksport red shocks. No issues with them, they were on the jeep for about 500 miles. I found another deal I couldn’t pass up so I took these off. They’re $400 new for a set, asking $250 shipped to the lower 48. Also have a like new rocksport...

I’m looking for experiences from people who knew what their caster was prior to geometry correction install and were able to get a final measurement after JUST the geometry correction install. Please state your before measurement and after from JUST the brackets and which brand brackets, and...
