That's good to know. I was considering the Clayton fronts just because they're a little cheaper and I'm confident I could get the right size, but I also want my wife to be willing to ride in the JT with me.
I'm guessing the 8863-30 Synergy springs would be fine with the 1.5 Clayton rears...
@dayusmc Did you get the Synergy front springs installed? I've got the Clayton 1.5" rears in a box in my garage and am debating on 2" or 3" Synergy springs for the front. I'm curious to hear if the 3" level it or if there is still a rake.

Just took delivery of my Gladiator today at Gupton and I will say it was the best car buying experience I've had to date. I ordered on 1/11 and am very happy with the timeframe. Renee was nothing but helpful throughout the process and even better in person.
Ron - No Gupton sticker for me...
@Rddavisjr - I ordered with Gupton on 1/11 and got the VIN email on 1/22 that said it would be available the week of 2/24. Got my window sticker on 1/31 and was told yesterday it would be on the lot between 2/11 and 2/25. YMMV, but so far that that initial estimate seems to have been pretty...
