AEV 2" spacer lift for Mojave Gladiator

[Toyfrog]

It's off topic, but if you have that kind of wandering issues, lower your tire pressure and second, buy a Fox (or any) steering stabilizer. I upsized to 35's (315/70), stock suspension, and with the Fox steering stabilizer, it's like a different vehicle.

I also have 315’s on stock suspension. I’ve messed with the tire pressure a lot. Guess the steering stabilizer couldn’t hurt? What Fox stabilizer did you go with?

Finally got my 2” AEV lift installed with Rancho Geo Brackets in the middle hole. My caster is right at 7 degrees. Is that to much? Will it cause premature wear? Should I move them to the first hole? It drives and steers fine.

Same setup on the stock 33's and mine is 5.9 with the first hole.

Sorry, missed this. Part number 985-24-173, Fox 2.0 Performance series IFP. I had a major score on ebay from 4WD Hardware and got it for $117+ shipping. (Check this seller, maybe save the item and see if you get a discount/offer sent: fourwheeldrivehardware )

Made a noticeable difference. It's how it should have felt from the start.

Man that look awesome. I just got 35's and think it may look silly with the lift and 35's and can't justify dumping them right away.

The 35 inch tires look great, in my opinion way better than the 37s. They look way too stuffed and too big and balloony on the rims. Plus the negative effect on fuel mileage and gearing just for what some think look good. If you are an off roader the 35s will go anywhere the 37s will go. Stick with the 35 inch you will be happy.

Good info, appreciate that. Ya know on a Jeep forum there’s a lot of bigger is better! Hah. But 100%. I’m trying to maintain drivability since it’s a daily.

Realize there is doing it and there is doing it properly...This can be confused quite often when it comes to tire size decisions.

I love my 35s, but the are definitely balloons on 17s. Kinda wish I went with 10 inch wide rims instead of 9 inch wide to cut down on the overinflated look. I can only imagine what guys running 37s on 7.5s look like.

Then again, I'm probably just being nitpicky because it's mine. Probably saw 37s and 7.5s before and loved them.
