2022 Jeep Gladiator
We've been planning to lift our Gladiator for a while now and after some researching i found these 3 lifts that fit the budget.

Current budget is around $1600-1800
Sport S Gladiator

JKS 3" J-Venture

Evo 2.5 enforcer overland stage 1

Rancho 3" RS3

Evo lift is advertised as a 2.5" but from I've read in a few posts on here the actual height gain is more around 4" in the front.
Rancho is 3" but according to the kit instructions on Sport and Sport S the gain is 4.5" front and 3.5" rear
JKS will net 3.5" front and 2.5" rear.

Rancho's set comes with adjustable front control arms and adjustable track bar BUT I couldn't find any reviews on this kit anywhere on the internet.

I plan to run 35's for now for a potential upgrade to 37s in the future, and I must say that I do like how the Gladiator looks with 3.5" lifts on 35s, but I am worried about the back geometry with those lifts and especially the pinion angle on the rear driveshaft. Rancho don't mention the rear pinion angle, just the front one.


At the moment the Jeep is mostly driven on paved roads (city highway mix) with a perspective to take it to light offroad trails. once lift and tires will be mounted.

Thoughts?
