Gladiator Lift Kits

[Carlton]

Rough Country now has a 3.5" kit.

This is almost exactly what I am looking for as I want to maintain as much of the stock suspension as possible. I am hoping that they will offer a version with shock extensions as well. I would like to maintain the Fox shocks. I would also add geometry brackets to the kit.

Thanks for the info. I currently have 40s on my JLUR. Trying to decide if I want to do 38s or 40s on the Gladiator.

How are the 40's on it? are you on the original 4.10s? Dana 44s? looking for as much info as i can on what i'm going to need to do ahead of time. I know these new Dana 44's in the gladiator are like 10mm thicker and heavier duty, or at least thats what they are claiming.

35x12.50x20 , Mopar 2 inch lift .

Fuel wheels with -18 offset

You can own this beauty for a low low price of $72,000 . It’s literally a mile from me

Wait isn't this in Tulsa, this is down the road from me as well. I stopped in and looked and sure it's cool but come on 72K?! I called and asked if they could take the lift wheels and tires off of it to sell it and they said no.

That's just stupid.

Looks terrible in my opinion

needs to be taller, or have 37s instead.

What concerns me about that kit is that it doesn't come with longer control arms and doesn't have any method of correcting the caster angle.

I'm using the exact same kit in the 2.5" variety on my JLU right now and it's the max I would go. I do get funny noises, popping, creaking, etc. from under the Jeep after being on this kit for a year now.

@Fabtech Motorsports has had my Gladiator for 2 weeks and just finished the development for a 3" lift with links. If anyone is interested I may get a discount code for advance orders. It's built around the JL lift they Made for my Jeep last year and with the Dirt Logic Resivour shocks it will not disappoint. I should have it back this coming week to finish installing new wheels from @GRID off-road and tires from @ToyoTires and Bumper and Tube doors from FabFours. It will showcase in their booth at the 4WP jeep and truck fest show in Ontario, CA Convention Center.

I would add geo brackets.

Did you install in this order top to bottom:

Coil spring spacer
Factory isolator
Coil spring

Often shops install incorrectly: isolator, spacer, coil spring. This will result in a popping and cracking noise.

Another cause can be bushings that are over/under/incorrectly torqued. Best to loosen everything up on the ground, jump on the bumpers a bit, and torque. Also make certain spring are seated properly.

Not saying bad things about a brand at all especially here but I’m not a fan of rough country . I think they build a great lift for Jeep products for the money . I personally have had a few experiences with there lifts and while they are affordable I don’t believe the geometry is the greatest . This is my opinion only .

I would give the Rough Country a try(adding geometry brackets) but don't want to be nose high. Would a rear spacer be necessary ? Who makes one ? I have heard the Ram 1500 ones will work.

I put the $750 RC 3.5 lift on my JK 4 months ago and have been happy with it. Great stance and better ride than the OEM. Added the traction control stabilization bar up front for about $76 as well.

Looking for an update to collect the different kits available to date. I have seen the EVO kits, but I am looking for a good kit between the 2" and the 4.5" kits. 3 or 3.5" would be perfect, and I don't want to go with the RC budget kit. I had Teraflex before and loved it. Fabtech on my Chevy was the best kit I ever had. Lifted it 6" and didn't change the ride at all. Then again, that was a Chevy...

Anybody have or know of any kits other then the EVO, RC or Mopar lifts?

I received a reply back from Teraflex last week that they expect to have some JT specific products available within the next 30 days.

Agreed, after seeing everything available at the moment 3 or 3.5 seems like the optimal lift. Also hoping teraflex hurrys up.
