I switched the rear AEV coils with Dobinson extreme duty (800-1200lbs) and now my rig is level still running the Rock Krawler front coils. Interested the Gladiator handles much better on the road now too.

Yes you are correct. I was thinking of compression which is virtually non existent.

Agreed, but as it sits now, I have literally about 2.5 inches of down travel before bottoming out. No bump stop protection as well. Good thing I didn’t decide to wheel this weekend.

Yeah thanks for that info. I decided to go with the AEV. My rear bed weight is somewhere around 550-600 depending on load out but never less than 500 with the rack, tent and rear bumper

At this point I’m more worried about my Fox 3.0 shocks bottoming out as I also discovered no bump stop pads were installed in the rear coil buckets. I have Fox 2.0 Hydrolic bump stops but they are worthless without the pads. I measured about 2 and 9/16 of chrome showing on the rear shocks. See...

Interestingly, I ordered the 0-3” shocks first but was told by the shop I would need 3.5-4” for the rear. My first instinct was correct as I would have the proper travel. Now upon further inspection I noticed there are no bump stop pads installed in the rear lower coil buckets making the...

Here’s a better pic

My initial request was to install the Clayton 3.5 but was talked into the RK. I will admit the ride and handling manners are better than stock and I’m sure articulation will be top notch, however I wasn’t building a rock crawler but more of a capable overland rig. Besides the sagging Im...

The lift is brand new and already sagging slightly in the rear due to the weight of the rack, RTT, bumper and misc camping gear. I was assured the quad rate springs would support the load. They don’t. I would estimate the weight in the rear is 450-500 lbs. Any recommendations on HD springs that...

I know this reply is somewhat late, but I had the Rock Krawler Adventure 3.0 Pro installed on my 21 Gladiator Rubicon. The elimination of the rear track bar greatly improves Highway ride/handling, however the rear sags from the weight of a Rebel 1/2 rack, RC steel rear bumper, 23 Zero Armadillo...

Here’s some advice from real world experience on re-regearing in general. Yes tire size and weight matter, but so does added vehicle accessories ie bumpers, racks, gear in the bed etc. I would a very good idea on what the finished build was going to look like before selecting a gear ratio. Also...
