Gladiators on Mopar 2" Lift Kit

[MrKnowitall]

Do you know if these are factory wheels....7.5" wide? They look great. Wondering if stock sport s rims (same 7.5" width) will hold a 35 with the mopar lift and still be funtional when articulating. Different backspacing/offset?

So if you get a lift kit, you have to also get a leveling kit? Why doesn't the lift kit have a leveling kit incorporated?

In case you want to put something (plywood, anyone?) in the bed and not look all sad and saggy.

Do we know for sure whether or not there's rub with the Mopar lift, 37s, and disconnected sway bar?

The JL could almost handle it. I imagine the JT would have a little more space ... at least in the rear wheel wells.

Based on knowledge/experience, don't think that Jeep with 37s would be free of rub in the front if FSB is unlocked

but why does lifting the jeep not lift the front and rear equally? are they just not designed to do this?

It DOES lift the front and rear equally. Pickups are usually designed to sit slightly high in the rear without a load, so that they’ll be level with a moderate one. Many light duty lifts raise the rear slightly less than the front to achieve a level apearance empty.

Ok, I found that they are black rhino wheels. What size tires?

Can anyone tell me what backspacing I’ll need with the Mopar lift and 37’s to make sure there is no rub?

Finally, will I also need new trackbars to put everything back to factory specs?

Please

I couldn't figure out why the tires sidewall looked so small, should have known.
Per EAW:
"2'' LIFT, 35'' NITTO RIDGE GRAPPLERS, 20'' BLACK RHINO HARD ALLOYS"
A close up pic on their site shows these as 35x12.5r20

I went over to Palmer Jeep in Roswell Ga yesterday since it’s right down the street from my office. David from sales met me in the lot in customary fashion. I told him I was looking for the gladiator that arrived the day before and was getting the lift and 37’s. He found out it was in the service bays getting finished and escorted me back. AWESOME! I arrived and there she was sitting on the new rubber. The tech spent some time telling me all about it. He’ done hundreds of Jeep lifts over the last few years (relitivy young guy). He said the kit was very good quality and straight forward. With the 37”s he said in off-road flex you would want the bumper wings removed. They also cut about 1” off the rock rail. I think if you had 35’s on the lift no mods or bumper removal. I wonder if 35’s without the lift might also need the clearance mods to accommodate off road flex. Also the tires were 13.5 so a little beefier stance. Looks really good.

NICE! I would have liked to see it with 17" wheels though, but beggars can't be choosers.

These pictures were found on FB And the Jeep is at Westgate Jeep in Raleigh NC for 66k. It is 37 inch tires and a lift. I’m assuming Mopar since dealership added it.

anyone know which rims these are?

I know it’s personal preference, but I don’t think the negative offset wheels (especially the -44) look good on the Gladiator...

I couldn't agree more. It reminds me of the lowered ricer 90's Honda civics with the low profile tires and wheels sticking way out of the fenders. Yeah, lets copy that on our Jeeps, don't forget the muffler to make it sound like a weed whacker too...

I agree that too wide of a stance looks gaudy. But, larger tires require a stance that's a bit wider to avoid rub and full turn. The key is finding that sweet spot that's just wide enough without going 'throwback 90's civic'.

This is the dealer I ordered my LE through and cannot get any updates after asking a few times.. maybe I should ask via Facebook?
