Finally got my Gladiator

You’re probably talking about me. I hated the floaty ride and the bed bounce from the rear. It’s way more stable now and still doesn’t ride rough, it just has a lot more of a controlled ride and feels more stable in corners.

lol, yep

You're right, it's a Sport S. The window sticker still will only say Sport, whether it's an S or not, so that's probably where the confusion lies.

Congrats btw, OP! Welcome to the obsession!

Check my recent post. Its a sport S?

Yes, that customer preferred package 24s is the "S"

Oh no, I hope you can get someone to upgrade the instrument cluster for you.

That's the opposite of mine. The Rubicon fox shocks were a step backwards. More bounce when doing things like dropping off the 3/4" drop in front of my garage (two bounces once it lands) and less stable feeling than it was stock.
The rear max tow springs led to a harder ride - you feel more things on the road now, RR tracks are harsher but I gave up some "ride" or softness to hold the ass-end up when towing.
Stiffer springs hold the tires against the road better.
I can't say the ride up front is a lot different with the Rubicon springs up there - they are the softest of the Rubicon springs that were used in 2020. The weight I added likely help to hold it down and keep the ride similar up there, but again, the shocks are nothing to brag about.

I'm going to do some thinking before I put all of these current parts on a new one.

I feel like Bilstein even makes better shocks than Fox in terms of comfort.

I took a really close look. I don't have the technology group. I have the preferred customer group. Which does not come with the cool LCD display. Bummer...

I get it. All I could see was my tiny stock tires. They only lasted about 3k miles before I went from 255s to 285s. You can fit Rubicon wheels/tires with no issues with rubbing. You’ll notice a slight decrease in performance, but not really that noticeable. It’s really just like it takes it another second to pick up speed and then it’s fine. I don’t have 8th gear as much on the hwy, but I still get 22-22 mpg regularly on road trips and I drive 75-80 on the interstate. I have an overland, but that doesn’t make a difference other than my stock tire diameter was a little bit larger than on a sport.

Looks like you need to recalibrate your speedometer.

Get ready. You‘re gonna LOVE the damn thing.

I like these step sides. Easy to install.

Option package 24S means it is a Sport S That is the package name for making it an S and the cost is $3400. All Sport S’s have the same at the top (says only Sport). See the 24S under options? You have a Sport S. I have a Sport S so I am familiar with it since I custom ordered it.

You pic is an easy give away it is a Sport S. The back window tint, the wheels, etc are all the Sport S. Those wheels are not an option on a base Sport.

Easiest way to show…..I have attached the order guide to help you see. Quick Order Packages determines the trim of a Sport. As you can see 24S means it is a Sport S with the 8 speed and V6 gasser. A base Sport has a B after the number in the quick order packages.

CONGRATS! YOU AHVE A SPORT S!
