I’m back - 2020 Launch Edition

[Mofo67]

Well in July of 2019 I bought a new Gladiator, White Sport S Max Tow. Added LE wheels and tires, tri-fold bed cover, Rubicon rock sliders and a few other things. After about 18 enjoyable months and 49,xxx miles I traded it on a 2020 Honda Accord. It was a decision made based on my work situation. I told my wife I would be ordering a new Gladiator in a year to 18 months.
Fast forward to last Saturday I picked up a 1 owner 2020 Gladiator LE in Granite Crystal. Had about 11,400 miles, never off road, no mods and in really great condition. So far I had the driver and passenger windows tinted and now I’m looking at the Mopar 2” lift and the Kendra 35x10.50x17 tires. This my “extra vehicle” not a daily driver.
This Gladiator seems to sit higher than my Sport S with the same size wheels and tires. Does the Rubicon have any factory lift and will the Mopar 2” give me the additional lift I’m looking for?
Thanks for your input.

The softer suspension helps, but also the Rubicon has higher front fender flares, which makes it look taller.

Yes, from the factory, the Rubicon sits at least an inch or two taller than the Sport and Overland models due to the taller springs. I gained between 2.5" and 3" when I installed the Mopar lift on mine.

Nice truck BTW. Congrats!!
