2024 gladiator jt lifts/mods

[Smkhzrd]

Spacers up to a certain height are just fine. They allow you to keep your spring rate and ride. But go up into the 2"+ area and then you are also needing other parts.......

spacer for rims instead of offset rims right now. My apologies for not being clear

Anyone running spacers? Pros and cons

So you aren't talking spacer LIFTS, you are talking WHEEL SPACERS.
Very different topics.

Gotcha!
Wheel Spacers
Pros:
They work and inexpensive

Cons:
Some folks don't torque them correctly and have issues.

I ran them for years on an old Jeep, no issues.

What would u recomend for spacer size and brand?

A number of members are running them - they'll chime in.

Sorry no the 4.5 lift is plenty for me. I dont like running spacers for coils because like u said takes away ride and compresses coil

I will let folks more familiar with them for the JT chime in.
In the past I used Spidertrax.

Made in the USA
And if their parts are good enough for ULTRA4 rigs, good enough for me.
LOL

Spacers don't compress coils, spacers allow you to keep the same ride as the coil springs are exactly as they were before, same rate, same amount of compression.
Spacers up to 1.5" or so are fine and won't change the ride one bit because it's the same spring.
But like taller SPRINGS, taller spacers can get you into the area of changing the geometry of the control arms, needing sway bar links and other parts. So if going over a certain amount, may as well go into a full spring lift.
But no, spacers can't change the "Ride" - same springs.

Got 37 toyo Mts on the jeep. Looks so much better! Turns out i need a new front driveshaft the boot is all torn up on factory fron driveshaft. Ordered a new one should be here this week. Ordered beadlock rims. Ordered a set of the apex sway bar end links for quick disconnect.

Next step is steering
