HELP Lift kit

[Spaceman2801]

I’m looking to install a lift kit on my 2026 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I’m new to the off-road community and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I’m not trying to break the bank, but I’d like something that’s reliable and performs well. Thanks in advance!

Read, research, figure out what you need. There are hundreds if not thousands of threads in here on lifts in the suspension section.

Talk to wheelers in your area. San Diego 4x4 has a lot of experienced people that can point you in the right direction.

Talk to a couple shops and see what they usually install and why they use the kits they use.

The kit I suggest may be the total wrong thing for you and your goals. It’s all personal preference.

Define the purpose of your lift (mall crawler, rock crawler, etc.), establish end result (there is no "end"), establish budget, research components, then ask your question again. For reference, I just installed a 1-1/2" leveling kit (see my recent post) and now my tires are too small...

You definitely need to know what you are intending to use your vehicle for before you start modifying. I suggest you run it stock first I do believe in buy once cry once model. Take it out with a club and see what you need there are a few clubs that run trails for stock vehicles. San Diego Jeep club and Geared4fun in North county are a couple I belong to and both have great people to help and share advice I have had mine 6 years now and instead of lifting ( which can bring it’s own problems) I just added a lot of skid plates which has worked well for the trails I go on with the clubs
