Like the post title says, Is anyone running this lift? I haven't really seen much about it anywhere in this forum. I know JKS is a quality brand because I ran their quicker disconnects on my JLU. It seems for what you get with the kit(springs, shocks, trackbar, quicker disconnects end links) you can't beat it. Plus you can upgrade the shocks and get lower control arms or brackets and still stay under 2k. So I guess I'm looking for opinions on ride quality and height and pictures if you got em.

I just put their 2.5” standard coils on my JL Rubicon. Very happy with the ride. I plan on ordering the JKS lift for the wife’s Gladiator soon.

What size tires are you planning on running on the Gladiator.

I’m running the 3.5 with fox shocks/steering stabilizer. Ride quality is much better then the stock suspension, tracks straight as a arrow.

That thing is beautiful. Did you go with the adjustable LCAs or the regular ones?

They are the fixed. I ordered the adjustable arms. But the order got mixed-up, adjustable arms should be in sometime this week.

One more thing, I noticed in the top picture that shows the end-link you didn't cut the bottom bracket on the axle to use the quick disconnect feature of the endilink.

Looks great Mike. Are those the standard coils or the HD coils?

Did this lift level it out? The angles of the pics make it look like it may be lower in the back creating that "Bulldog" stance. Is it just the picture?
