It's the shorter Mid Height Option also incorporating their Tonneau Cover adapter brackets that raise it 3" or so. I'm running the BAK X4S cover and highly recommend for fitment, ease of use, and solid surface with nice texture. I ofter utilize it as an extra shelf when working off the tailgate.
Thanks for the info! I've been trying to find something that is the right height to be versatile for my needs (ski/snowboard rack, cargo carrier, fly rod vault etc) but not huge and overbearing. I will probably go this route and will let you know if I have any other questions.

Here's a few more pics to show the rack, bed area, brackets, etc.
Let me know if need anything more specific or more pics. Always happy to help!
SO MUCH BETTER!
I have recently (last year) added the Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust's all the way around. For comparison, I would spend the extra $$ and get the Falcon's hands down every time. I can't beleive how much of an improvement they made. During my original build, parts were scarce so I went with the Fox 2.0 IFP's and they were great for a year or so. However, upon upgrading, I really noticed how much better the rig handles on the firmer settings on the tarmac and how much more compliant the Falcon's are on the softer settings off-road on chunky trails, etc.
I’m guessing a stiffer setting up front would help keep it from bouncing off the bumpstops?I have recently (last year) added the Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust's all the way around.

I also did the Artec Inner Fender Well liners as they do a version pre-cut for the Falcon shocks. I had mine Done in Line-X coating before installation and love how they look and fit. So much cleaner than stock.
Thanks. Heard great things about the Falcons!. Did you get the 3.3, 2.5-4.5 lift or the 3.5-4.5 long travel?I have recently (last year) added the Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjust's all the way around.

Correct I added/upgraded to the Falcon 3.3 Fast Adjusts. On the suspension I have the Clayton Offroad 3.5" Overland Plus kit (Short Travel Version) and it's a tight fit on the 40's but clears. They (Clayton) have tested this kit with 40's on a few Gladiators already. In conversations with Lucas and they Team there at Clayton, they have noted they are currently testing 4.5" springs for this kit due to release mid year 2026. I'll be the first on the list unless I do the custom Deaver Springs in the meantime. I do want to note that Clayton has had hands down the absolute best customer service, before, during, and post sale for their kit and products. They are incredible.
Got complete Steer Smarts Yeti XD steering components installed today. Drives almost like stock with 40s. I’m happy with how it turned out. Next mod will be gears. Kind of on the fence between 5:13s and 5:88s.
