Best Lift Kit for Gladiator Diesel?

[Clayton Off Road]

Hello @Clayton Off Road do you offer a Diesel specific spring option as part of your lifts? As you mentioned in another thread They are HEAVY

We don’t have a diesel-specific gladiator kit or springs at the moment; however, we have had a lot of customers use our gas kits for their diesel and results have been good! We do use a much higher spring rate than most other kits on the market, even more so than some diesel-specific options, so our springs are very capable of standing up to the weight of that heavy motor. The only other thing you may want to add would be a small spacer to help level out the front end some, if you’re looking for a more level look. Hpefully this helps!

Any word on a specific diesel lift kit? Can anyone advise which lift kit is best for the extra weight of the diesel along with a steel bumper & winch? Like the idea of adjustable shocks, but are there any out there? Guessing it would be nice to adjust for the street VS towing VS crawling, etc...

Note: The OEM suspension hits pretty hard on the frontend with 37s & I am about to put a steel bumper & winch, so its not going to be fun driving around like that :/

I'm getting my diesel sometime this week.....would like to add a lift to it as well. I have used metalcloak and rock krawler in the past on my older builds and all have worked well. I'm really interested in the Clayton suspensions.
Question: Are you control arm joints somewhat like the metalcloak ones?

I ended up going with Mopar as it is the only one that says it is specifically for Diesel. But now I need to know the additional parts I should purchase. Believe it may be front & rear trackbars. Is there anything else that can be recommended?

Install what the kit comes with. Drive it a few hundred miles or so. Then see if you need anything else.

I haven’t needed anything else and am okay with how it drives and handles.

I have a evo kit. Instructions suck but I’m happy with the kit

I’ll probably just do a steering stabilizer then if I do anything. Thanks for weighing in @CerOf

Rock Krawler has a diesel specific now. Here is a link

I just purchased the Rock Krawler 3" lift for the diesel. Just received the rear springs and track bar....waiting on the other parts. The rear springs are heavy! Looks like they are built really strong......

Were you level after going with the 2" Molar lift kit? Do you have the steel front bumper and winch as well?

I used a 1/2” spacer up front.

I do have metal bumper and winch.

I have only a little bit of rake. Perhaps 1/2”?
Less than factory.
