JKS Manufacturing Lift Kit

JKS lift kit for my 2022 Gladiator...
Quality or stay away?

Specific lift is JSPEC 176PS... Is this an inclusive kit that will cover all my needs or will I be adding to it trying to get Jeep right?

I had the J Krawl 3.5” kit installed on my 21 Gladiator. Went with the 2.5 IFP shocks. Couldn’t be happier. Ride is better than it was from factory. Even with the 37” MT MTZs.

Nice looking Rubicon... Glad to hear the JKS system is working out for you.

My tires are in today (BFG KO2 37x13.5x20) and suspension goes on next Wednesday.
Haven't decided yet if I gonna go with the standard 2.0 or opt for the 2.5... Gonna get the shops input on that when I drop Jeep off.

I just ordered the JKS JSPEC171PES crawl kit. I read as many reviews as i could stand and decide to go with it. Went with the Fox 2.0 performance shocks. I'll come back here some time in the future after installation and let you know how it does.

Just had the JKS installed yesterday.
No review yet cause I only got a hundred or so highway miles on it so I'll wait to sing its praises or curse it after it's seen some use.
It does drive great though.

Get an alignment to find your caster. You are looking for something close to 6 deg.

Wheels are Fuel 'Rincon'

And thanks.
I like the look of the 37s a lot better but am afraid the 3.5 JKS is bare minimum for this wheel / tire combo.

My son and I finally got the JKS Rock Crawler 3.5” lift installed. Installing was a breeze, and the instructions were good. The hardest part was torquing the hardware after you busted your butt all day in the driveway. It took us about 7 hrs. The kit is well made and heavy duty. All the parts were in the kit and nothing missing. I had all the tools needed for the job. Nothing special needed.
I adjusted the front lower control arms out about ½” from stock. Everything else was at stock specs. The front-end height raised 3.5 inches and the back was 1.5 inches. I expect it to settle down a little after some run time. A front –end alignment was performed and this JT drives straight and smooth. No wiggle back and and forth steering.
When driving over potholes, etc. it feels a bit stiff and bumpy. Not really bad at all. Driving over dips in the road it is smooth and stays planted. Going around corners is fairly flat. Hardly any roll. Dirt road driving is a lot better and controlled.
Have 300 miles on this kit and well satisfied.
I'll post a picture soon.
