2026 Gladiator / 2010 JK
Just bought a 2026 Gladiator Sport and ordered the Clayton 2.5" Ride Right with the plan to run 35s. The website says for a Sport, 2.5" is the right size for 35s.

Looking at pictures, I'm slightly concerned I should have ordered the 1.5". Thoughts?

In the end, I guess worst case scenario is putting 37s on, but that wasn't my plan. My JK is on 37s and I honestly just bought the Gladiator so I never had to put the top back on my JK. Gladiator was gonna be the grocery getter/daily driver on 35s.

Update to previous post. Got most of the lift installed. 35s will be a perfect fit (285s pictured). Still need to get the control arms and shocks on, but four springs, two track bars, 4 sway bar links, and the Rock Jock driver shaft carrier bearings spacer was enough for my 50 year old body on a concrete floor for this weekend. LOL.

Question though. I also installed the MOPAR extended lower control arms from the MOPAR lift (because I had them). I took it for a shake down drive as is and it drive amazing, to include on/off ramps, bridge expansion joints, railroad tracks, speed bumps, you name it. Easily drives as good as my JK with the Metalcloak 3.5 Gamechanger with all 8 control arms. So, do I need to install the upper adjustable control arms?

I have a Clayton 3.5 Overland+ on my JL and am considering a 2.5 Overland+ on my gladiator. I feel like the lift could benefit from front geometry correction brackets, if going that route is it worth doing the Overland+ or just stick with ride right? What geometry correction brackets does clayton recommend Rancho, Teraflex, MC?

The uppers will help a lot with dialing in the caster, which helps a lot with steering/wng, but if you don't currently have any issues you should be okay!

Any brand would work they are all the same! They can be a good add on for any on-road only setup, off-road you lose some ground clearance so it may not be worth the minor improvement if you do wheel it often!

I used Teraflex geo brackets with the Clayton 3.5" springs. Worked out great.
