even the factory would have used different springs!
Exactly. I had a 2015 Ram 2500 Cummins. There were something like 38 different coil springs for the Ram 2500/3500 trucks that year. Depending on how it was configured. That was including all coils for all 4 corners. That's just crazy.
That didn't count the factory air ride for the rear end of said trucks.

21' JT EcoD
I am looking pretty hard at your Jeep Gladiator 2.5 Inch Ride Right+ Lift Kit - for my 21' JT EcoD with Bilstein B8 5100's. I am on the fence about 35' or 37" tires - any thoughts? Pics? I will be installing in the next 2-3 months most likely as I need new tires soon.

For a non-Rubicon model the 2.5" kit is perfect for 35" tires both on and off road, if you plan on doing any sort of fender modifcation or swap, you can always bump up to the 37s! Keep in mind this is mainly taking into consideration if there will be any rubbing at full flex, so if that's not something you plan on doing, then you can always run the 37s with the stock fenders and it will be totally fine for daily driving and light wheeling! Check out this blog on our site for some pictures comparing different tire sizes!

I was going to order my 3.5 kit next week or so. Now I have to decide if I want to wait…
Totally get it! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help!

Thanks for all the comments and feed back on the @Clayton Off Road lifts!
I'm looking to install one on my 23' Mojave but on the fence about which kit is best for me.
I currently have DV8 bumper, skid plate, and 12k winch up front. Dv8 bumper in rear and installing a OpenRoad bed cap in a month or so when I have the time (won't store stuff in the cap for DD but will pack basic camping/weekend trip gear when we go out adventuring). Currently running factory wheels and tires and only plan to move up to 35s when the time arises.
Trying to decide between the 2.5" ride right and 2.5" overland kit. I do plan to use the jks shock extensions to get full use of my factory fox shocks but will upgrade when they need to be replaced.
Most of my adventures are highway miles and mild to medium trails in the Ozark mountains (nothing to crazy mostly green and blue trails according to onX... although those blue trails are a lil more technical then noted in the app lol).
Any thoughts or suggestions for this build would be greatly appreciated...God bless!

Hey there!

So all of our kits already take the most common accessories like steel bumpers, a winch, and full-sized spare into consideration, so nothing to worry about there.

For other accessories and weight, usually anything over 300 lbs of constant weight is where we recommend our HD springs, which can be added in right from the "recommended products" section on our site. The non-HD springs can handle about 300 lbs of weight before the Jeep would sit below level, and the HD's can get you up to about 500 lbs before sitting below level.

If you have a Mojave and also just want to run factory tires or possibly 35s in the future, I would actually go with the 1.5" kit and not the 2.5", as the 1.5" is designed for 35s, and the 2.5" is designed for 37s. The 1.5" kit also allows you the option of running shock extensions, which is very popular on the Mojave models for guys that want to keep stock shocks, while the 2.5" kit is a bit too tall for extensions and would require new shocks.

For the Ride Right vs Overland kit, it just comes down to what you want out of the Jeep or where you want to start. The Ride Right kit comes with the same style parts as the Overland, just less of them, so this is still a totally maintenance-free kit with the Giiro bushings on both ends of each arm and track bar, and gives you the ability to upgrade to the Overland Plus kit in the future if you want to.

The other nice thing about the Ride Right kit is it's actually the starting point for both our short arm AND long arm systems, so you can start with the Ride Right and decide to go into the Long arm kit without sacrificing anything at all, which is super cool, since the long arm kit utilizes the same front upper arms.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Not yet, but using the next size up standard spring, so in this case the 2.5" non HD, would provide very similar results.
