2022 Jeep Gladiator diesel, 1977 cj5 LS swapped
That’s awesome ! Think I’m going to go with the 2” mopar. I did notice this … when I towed my boat with the tow max (2” mopar) the jeep didn’t squat an inch . When I hooked it up to the rubicon it did squat the rear end a little bit . Another reason I’m going to lift . I thought about keeping stock wheels and tires and just lifting but I think it will look goofy
Most of the lifts wont work with stock wheels. Metal cloak uses outboarded shocks which will rub on full turns with stock backspacing wheels. the rest of the aftermarket lifts use big control arms that will rub.

Thats why the mopar is cool you can chuck some spacers on top of the springs and get close to 3" with no real guesswork.

So think I’m going to lift it this wed. But dealer wants 2800 for 2” mopar lift with track bar….

also another question my dad bought a new overland diesel and I swear the front sits higher than my rubicon ??? Why is that ?

Take a tape measure and conform the difference.

I just picked up a metal cloak 3.5" going on next week. Waiting on the icon rebound pro beadlock wheels to come in and the 38's all the way!

Metal cloak has 10% off sales I was in in $1800 OTD with rocksport shocks and coil correction pads. Should be legit.
I want pics of the icon rebound pros! Been thinking about them. Just haven't seen them on a Gladiator yet. Post pics please!
