Looking for current local trail advice for Friday June 12. I’m trying to plan a one-night or weekend trip around North GA, ideally close to Clayton, GA / Rabun County / Hiawassee / Blairsville. Group logistics: I’m coming from Charlotte, NC. Friends are coming from Chattanooga, TN...

Alright, I’m getting closer to making some decisions on lift kit parts and shocks. I’m strongly considering going with Clayton’s premium 3.5 inch lift kit. They offer some different shock options, two of which are the Falcon 3.3 and Bilstein 5160. I realize this is a comparison of adjustable...

So back in Dec 2023, I took advantage of the discounts offered on gladiators and wound up getting my Sarge Green Ecodiesel for 23% off MSRP ($51k before tt&l). Carvana bought my 2020 gator sport s for $31k, which allowed me to put a decent sized down payment on the diesel gladiator. I had the...

Hello everyone! My son and I will be installing the Clayton 3.5 Overland plus lift on my 2023 Gladiator Rubicon in a couple of weeks. I know there is a plethora of knowledge here, so I figured that I would ask if anyone has any advice or tips, or tricks they might pass on before I attempt. I put...

I've been researching lift kits for the last couple months while I was shopping for my Gladiator. Now that she's mine it's time to start on emptying every pocket. I've landed on the @Clayton Off Road 3.5" Premium kit, but want to make sure while I'm doing the lift I take care of most of the...

Clayton states “ Designed and tested allowing clearance for a 37"Nitto Trail grappler. All 37" tires should work, and some smaller 38" tires may work depending on actual tire size, and axle positioning. “ I was curious if anyone tested 38s and which brand/ width were they. Any pictures ? Thanks !

2023 JT Rubicon Diesel Getting ready to order the list below. I will be 99% on road so I’m not looking for the most extreme bulletproof parts and flex. I want a quality lift that’s good on road and won’t rub if I decide to do some off roading. Any input on this list below? -Clayton 2.5”...

At the beginning of this year I bought a near-stock, used Mojave with 5000 miles on it at the time. It was built in July 2021 and had everything I wanted from the factory, including some things the previous owner put on it that I would have done as well. As Purchased: * Mopar Steel Bumpers *...

Hi All, Not sure if this is just a "Jeep thing" or if I have a bigger problem that should be addressed... So I've had my gladiator just over a month and the first 200 miles I drove it stock with zero complaints. It didn't feel as smooth as other midsize trucks I test drove, but compared to my...

Just ordered a 2022 JTRD. Trading in the 2015 JKU. Been doing a lot of research on what lifts will be best with the extra weight of the diesel and I’ve narrowed it down to these two. Haven’t seen too many reviews out there as the AEV diesel kit seems pretty new. Im interested in hearing reviews...

Hey guys, it is finally time to get the suspension lift. I am trying to figure out the total actual lift height for the Clayton 2.5 Overland +, the Rock Krawler 3.0 Adventure Pro, and the Metal Cloak 3.5 game changer suspension. I've heard that the Clayton runs more like a 3 inch and the game...

Looking at replacing my frankenlift. Was looking at the Rock Krawler 4.5” pro-x no limits kit. I have RK shocks and have had an RK lift on one of my JKs. Does anyone have this lift and if so what do you think of it? Other lifts I’m looking at include, Clayton 3.5, Rusty’s 4.0 and EVO 4.5...

I have the overland trim currently running 35s with spacers. Eventually I want to run 37s so I would like this suspension to handle them. Trying to stay under 2k without shocks. Use case by priority: 1. This is a daily driver and needs to be comfortable on road and stable on highway 2. I...

Like many I see on here, I was going through the hemming and hawing over which lift kit to do. How much, which components, adjustable or not, shocks or extensions etc etc. I spent a lot of time discussing it with members and vendors and mechanics. I looked at the Stage 2 2.5" EVO Enforcer kit...
