Good morning. I must have the lighter one. Not sure of the number. The weight of the top doesn’t lower it on it’s own. However, I would climb in the bed and put a 15lb weight on it or just simply push down with my and hand. Had no problems at all. The weight of the freedom panels will work as...
@JP1 You mentioned mileage sucks. I added 37’s to my Overland and gas mileage per the trip computer went from 19mpg prior to wheels to a lousy 9-10mpg. I purchased the Rough Country speedometer calibrator and now mpg is up to a tolerable 16-17mpg (city)
Yeah I have one already. The pics are on first page of the link I sent.
The hoist works great. No concerns. I was going to buy one for a gladiator specifically when they get released but probably won’t now as there’s no need.

I used my harken hoist that I had for my wrangler.
Found rubber coated hooks and narrowed up the drop points.
Current height w/the 37's is 75" to the top of the roof. My garage door opening is 92" so it should fit comfortably. I have uploaded a pic looking from the front to the back with the door open. Hope this helps.
No worries. I’m by no means an expert and will let the Jeep veterans chime in. But I have had my mind set on a 4” suspension lift. Just for extra height. The leveling kit is good to get some clearance for larger tires.
Rough Country 2.5”
It did not change the ride at all. I’m pleased with it. It allowed me to get the 37s on with no issue. Again, it’s just temporary. It will have to come off when I get a lift.
Hello - I'm a new member but have been following since November.
I have been searching for and waiting for a hoist to become available for the Gladiator Hardtop. I got tired of waiting and repurposed my 4 point Harken hoist used or my 2012 Wrangler. It was quite simple actually..I thought I...
