I was missing one of the rear sway bar nuts so I left the AEV sway bar links in place until a new pair came in. Today I installed the Rear Mopar Links. From left to right is the stock rear link, the AEV link, and the Mopar lift kit link. As you can see the Mopar lift kit link is beefier on...

You can see from the photos below I am approximately 3-1/4 inches taller than a stock Gladiator Rubicon measuring from fender seam to the ground. I have 35’s vs the stock 33 tires so that’s about 1-inch there. Meaning that this kit gave me 2 plus inches of lift.

Where did you see that the springs are progressive rate? I'm assuming that's what you meant by multi-rate. I haven't seen that written anywhere.

I bought the Borla Touring exhaust for the Gladiator. It sounds like a stock exhaust but with attitude. I'm going to see if I can simply replace the resonator to turn it into the S-Type. The ATTACK sounds amazing but I think hearing that all the time would get old. Borla exhausts provide...

I don't know. I would need to drive to a dealership and measure a stock Rubicon. If they have one around I will do that and post here.

Thanks for the complement. I agree the 2” lift with 35’s looks like it should from the factory. Given the longer wheel base 37’s would also look good. You just have to be up for a re-gear in that circumstance to maintain performance. Here is one of the drivers side clearly showing the lift...

To the values in the instructions

Here is a photo of my Gladiator with the 2” Mopar lift and BFG KO2 35x12.5 R17 tires.

I finished the install and drove it for 40-minutes over a variety of road conditions. All the little rattles are gone. The ride quality is excellent. All bumps large and small are muffled. The handling has actually improved. The suspension has a more controlled feel to it. Those larger...

Done installing the lift. The Jeep is sitting on its wheels waiting for me to torque down all the suspension bolts. Man those Mopar Shocks are BEEFY!

I’m probably going to see if I can sell it on Craigslist. I installed the Pro Cal Snap in my Jeep and I’m not removing that so it’s purely the hardware.

Lift or Spacer Lift? I’m glad you like it. The price is now $499. I think it’s a good value if the goal is to lift your Gladiator 2 inches with minimal expense. However, If you want to keep the rubber spring isolators to retain all their benefits a spacer lift is not the way to go. In...

Removing the AEV 2" Spacer Lift and installing the 2" Mopar Lift this weekend. I have the front done. I will do the rear tomorrow. Some things I noticed. The Mopar SWAY BAR LINKS are beefier than the AEV links. They also have a nice little offset that lines everything up prefectly. They...

The Mopar lift kit arrived. The weather looks good for this weekend to do the install.

This we agree on except for me I want the whole lift not just the arms.

Your comment about the pinion angle or angle of the front drive shaft is INCORRECT according to the Mopar factory manual. Please read the words in the screen shot highlighted in yellow. Since they designed it I don't think there is much room for debate. The caster and pinion angle drawing are...

Boo hoo. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion. We all don't have to conform to the herd.

Don't make it personal. You have no idea how I think. I have no problem with AEV. They make lots of great stuff. Their spacer lift is simply a low budget alternative to lifting your Gladiator 2-inches. Sounds like lots of people here took advantage of that savings. However, that does not...
