Update to previous post. Got most of the lift installed. 35s will be a perfect fit (285s pictured). Still need to get the control arms and shocks on, but four springs, two track bars, 4 sway bar links, and the Rock Jock driver shaft carrier bearings spacer was enough for my 50 year old body...

Looks great!

Well, after work today I got the front springs on and the MOPAR extended lower control arms installed. I didn't get the Clayton upper control arms on yet. Actual lift height in the front was exactly 3.00". Checked caster and it was 6 degrees. Makes me wonder if I need the upper adjustable...

Looks like this piece is called a Tire Deflector Bracket. Had to cut the head off the bolt to get it off. Honestly it seems like a great place for moisture and debris to build up and cause corrosion.

Took the other side off to try to see how it works. Looks like 4 captive nuts welded to the inside of the frame. Seems like tre one that won't come out probably broke the weld for the nut. What a pain. Only 1,300 miles on this this.

Piece in question circled in white. Bolts circled in green came out with no issues. Bolt circled in red loosened up and now just spins. I can find a way to access the back side where a nut might be. For orientation, front drivers tire is on left edge of picture.

The Clayton Ride Rite comes with front upper adjustable arms. Eventually I'll add the other three sets of arms. I figure since I already had the MOPAR lower extended arms, it would only be a couple extra minutes to swap them when I'm putting the lift on.

Just bought a 2026 Gladiator Sport and ordered the Clayton 2.5" Ride Right with the plan to run 35s. The website says for a Sport, 2.5" is the right size for 35s. Looking at pictures, I'm slightly concerned I should have ordered the 1.5". Thoughts? In the end, I guess worst case scenario is...

Update: Got the front and rear springs, sway bar end links, and track bars installed along with the MOPAR extended lower control arms, Rock Jock rear drive shaft carrier bearing drop spacer, and Teraflex 1/2" front spring spacer. At 50 years old, that was enough for me spread over two days on...
