  1. Drag in Driveline after Steering and Control-Arm Upgrades?

    It feels like the e-bike is on slightly. That's what it feels like.
  2. Drag in Driveline after Steering and Control-Arm Upgrades?

    Haha it wasn't that much weight compared to what I have added already. Before these upgrades, my truck is running around 7,000 pounds and on 37s. I doubt very much the heavy control arms, etc. would slow the vehicle noticeably.
  3. Drag in Driveline after Steering and Control-Arm Upgrades?

    I recently had a bunch of things upgraded on my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon the other week (I'll list below). As soon as I got in it, pulled it down into Drive and hit the throttle, it felt like there was a drag in the driveline (at least that's how I perceive it) akin to the e-brake being on...
  4. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    Just the 2.5s. Spacers would not fit
  5. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    Also, I did a video walk-around of my rig and mods, if anyone cares to see it
  6. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    I had the Falcon 2.0s, which are three-way adjustable. Rig sits about level now on 2.5s F&R. Clayton told me not to go to 3.5s in rear without getting a longer driveline, etc.
  7. Constant-Load Springs/Suspension Setups?

    I did a walk-around video of my rig and mods, if anyone cares to see it!
  8. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    Thought I'd update you guys. A couple months ago I stepped up to the Clayton 2.5" springs front and rear and Falcon 3.3 shocks at all four corners. It's finally a set up that can handle all the weight I am running with on the truck during my expeditions. I recently weighed it and I am tipping...
  9. Constant-Load Springs/Suspension Setups?

    Thought I'd update you guys. A couple months ago I stepped up to the Clayton 2.5" springs and Falcon 3.3 shocks. It's finally a set up that can handle all the weight I am running with on the truck during my expeditions. I recently weighed it and I am tipping 7,200 pounds. It's a big boy!
  10. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    Just as an update for you guys: I added more gear to the back of the rig, primarily a CargoGlide. With that, and all my stuff loaded up for extended journeys, the rear of my truck sits lower than the front and the shocks are overwhelmed by the weight. I thought I could have the TeraFlex Falcon...
  11. Oregon Sold: FOX Shocks from MOPAR 2" Lift Kit

    Up for sale: the four FOX shocks from the MOPAR 2" lift kit. I put the MOPAR 2" lift on my Gladiator Rubicon. But the shocks were valved too soft for all the components I have on the rig. So, I swapped them out for some stiffer Teraflex Falcons. So, now I am looking to let go of the FOX...
  12. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    Yeah that undulating you're feeling it the shocks not doing their job — the MOPAR FOX shocks are valved too soft for non-stock rigs. I love the springs, though. Upgrading shocks fixed my issues with it.
  13. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    Just to close this out, I went with the MOPAR 2" lift. Then I swapped out the shocks for Teraflex Falcons at all four corners. And I installed 0.75" spring spacers under the rear springs. Rides like stock again, as if the weight weren't there!
  14. True Frame-Mounted Rock Sliders?

    Thanks for pointing those out. I ordered a set. Thanks!
  15. True Frame-Mounted Rock Sliders?

    I see Poison Spyder had some available earlier this year. I can't find them on 4WP or on Poison Spyder's website now, though.
  16. True Frame-Mounted Rock Sliders?

    I upgraded my Rubi with some Rugged Ridge rocker guards. But I fear those are more of an aesthetic upgrade than a true rock slider. So, before I go bounce it off some rocks, I am on the hunt for true frame-mounted rock sliders. But, to my surprise, I haven't found a set designed for Gladiator...
  17. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    I didn't measure it, I'm sorry. Like I said before, I am upgrading the MOPAR 2" FOX shocks to the TerraFlex Falcons. I haven't swapped them out yet, though.
  18. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    Yeah, the valving in the kit shocks are better than the stock FOX shocks. However, they're still a little too squishy. Otherwise, I have been really impressed with the kit. But that's not too surprising, since it was developed by the Jeep team.
  19. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    So after talking to a bunch of guys running 37s with lifts, I went with the MOPAR 2" lift. The rear shocks are still a bit soft under load. So I am going to swap out the FOX shocks from the lift kit with some Teraflex Falcon adjustable shocks. And I am going to add 0.75" spacers to the rear...
  20. Affordable Lift For Constant Heavy Load Overland Rigs?

    I've heard their shocks are infamous for leaking a lot.
