Not 100% accurate but close enough for the range of caster I'm looking for: I put a long 2x4 on the ground with an angle gauge to measure the angle that my truck is at. Then I put the angle gauge on the top of my axle knuckle to find the angle. The difference is the caster.
I've been looking for just this mount. Did you order just the bracket and mount from CoolTech or did you need the bracket, NMO adapter, and coax cable? Thanks!
I'm curious if anyone has followed this dash removal process but then wrapped their panels with vinyl. I'm thinking of going this route so I could change the color or go back to stock more easily.
I'd for sure recommend it. I thought about the Rough Country and other spacer lifts before going with Teraflex. I like that each corner comes with a 0.5" and 1" spacer so you have three levels of adjustability. When I do lift all four corners and add a bumper/which, I can still use all or part...

Went for a Thanksgiving morning ride in the backyard. I'm very happy with the new wheels and tires. I think a 2.5" lift will work well and won't make the tires look too small.

Surprised my wife on her birthday by bringing home the Jeep with new wheels and tires. I couldn't recommend @Discount Tire more if you're looking for wheels/tires. Reach out to them via PM!

Installed the Teraflex 1.5” Performance Spacer Leveling Kit raising the front of the Gladiator and removing the factory rake. No good before and after photos but I took measurements showing the front edge of the front bumper came up close to 2" and the front door went up by...

That's really weird. Not that it changed your steering, but that when I installed my 1.5" Teraflex kit, I started having to point at 12:15 or so to go straight on a non-windy day. If you increased the distance from the frame to the axle, that would increase the distance from the end of the...
Thanks so much for this post. I had been considering these but based on the thorough photos showing the modification required to the OEM bumper, I'm removing this from my list of mods. Thanks again!
I know this is just a drawing but I would like to see a swinging spare carrier like a wrangler on this setup. Something that could hold the bike behind the spare to get it off the roof. Swinging out the carrier could get you to two big doors into the back or even a liftgate.
Yes, stock wheels/tires (245/75R17 Dueller H/T 685) with no suspension modifications. Looks like you got 1.2 inches in sidewall gain and 3.25 from the lift. Then there's the matter of your bumper which may be heavier than stock and would be weighing down the front. That's a heck of a gain from...
My Sport (no max tow) is 20.8" at the same spot. Accounting for 1.8" difference in sidewall, I'd say you got all and more of the advertised 3.5" lift. :)
