I pulled a pretty heavy trailer probably 5k all weight included (heavy for the gladiator) this year and I got pretty hot on the long hill climbs I think oil was 270 and water was 245 at one point and it de powered or de fueled… but I live on a 6 mile very very steep gravel road in the...

Damn you only have 3 pucks in there too, you should throw in a 1” spacer or get some different springs. I tried to look for different springs and I only found skyjacker that had a diesel specific 3.5” dual rate spring similar to metalcloak. I think they were just under $200. I had already...

Yeah I will here is with it in a parking lot looks pretty level maybe even a hint of rake. Didn’t bottom out on my road at all. The stock suspension would bottom out on everything!!

I got the 1.5” teraflex leveling kit for $99 and it comes w a 1” spacer and a .5” spacer I just put the 1” spacer on top. I am running 4” of bump stop in the front due to my shocks I have the 2.5” fox resi dsc... in retrospect I kinda wish I had gotten the 6 pak for extra up travel but I’m not...

Finally got the lift and everything in metalcloak 3.5” with a 1” spacer up front and fox 2.5 dsc’s. 37” stt pros on rg crawl beadlocks. I haven’t been to town to perfectly level ground but I think it’s sitting pretty level. I haven’t driven it much yet but if rides really nice so far good bye...

I didn’t say that I was, a previous post said he planned to I just used it as an example “speed bumps or anything else” I don’t really know much about them except they are a bump stop system that I haven’t looked into at all.

I’m installing my 3.5” metalcloak GC tomorrow w a 1/2” teraflex spacer on the front and fox 2.5 dsc... I will update soon got everything ready to start first thing in the morning. I’m gonna see how it rides before adding speed bumps or anything else. I’m going 37” stt pros on xd232 rg crawl wheels

I seen that skyjacker has a diesel lift, I’m not familiar with them but they do sell the springs separately I’m thinking of trying out their front springs when I get my metal cloak kit in...

I just ordered the 3.5 game changer w 2.5 fox elites going with 37” STT prosI guess we will see how it goes.. I figure I will just get it installed and make adjustments from there and at least I have some DSC adjustments to dial in the ride!! I see skyjacker has 3.5” front springs they say are...

As far as I know most suspension parts aside from some piggyback shocks are compatible

You might want to check the specs on your shocks compressed and fully extended I think they recommend like 17” compressed and 30” extended... don’t quote me on that but I would check it out

I helped my buddy install the game changer 3.5 in his JL seemed really simple and straightforward they give you measurements for everything I would go off that to start. The track bars we installed and then measured( on level ground) the distance between the outside of the tire to the inner...

How much lift did you end up actually getting, I was thinking about getting the 3.5 game changer and if I only net 2.5”-3” and it rides great and clears 37’s I would be cool with that and could shim it out w some coil spacers if it needs any extra height

I was just guessing not enough spring rate

This just seems really rediculous how easy my front end bottoms out on a gladiator “rubicon” I thought this thing was supposed to be relatively good off road?? My stock duramax can take a harder bump than my JT!! I think they missed the mark big time on this one
