Jeep Gladiator 2023 Sport S bulid 40D54211-42EE-4426-8731-D94D3F7DAFB3

the beginnings. Stock sport S.

33 inch tires, 17x9 inch rocktrix wheels in bronze

2.5 inch RC lift/level

Steel bumper/lights badlands zx9500 winch

Front end started to clunk and make all sorts of noise…

Removed RC2.5 inch spacer, replaced with 2.5 metal cloak springs to “level” the front… ended up with a bro dozer-Cali lean. Have 2.5” metal cloak rear springs/shock relocators and sway bar links on order to match the front. Currently running stock springs and airlift 1000 on rear for towing. Still need to install metal cloak front track bar, upper control arms (front), shock mounts (front), swaybar disconnects. All
Should be coming in tomorrow. This lean is terrible! Thought the 2.5 springs would level it out like the rough country spacer… not the case! Can’t wait to get the rear back to level.

contemplating 35s since the tires look disproportional on the front with the 4.5” net of lift I got from the 2.5” MC springs.

outboard lower front shock mounts installed.

two minor additions but after driving it the steering feels a lot better, rough roads don’t transfer the bumps to the steering wheel, it’s really smooth up front.

Amazing! Can't wait what else you're going to do with it! Definitely 35s it'll make her look super beefy!

Got my metal cloak diff covers and front diff skid installed. Went with a bronze paint to match the wheels, turned out good. Will be ordering a rear diff skid soon as well!
