Nice! So, I'm assuming we have the same axles - not like the Rubicon/max tow. No rubbing or anything? (Prior to the suspension work you did, of course. My suspension is bone stock.)

Yeah, only difference is I have 18” wheels, but it’s the same offset and all and that’s all that matters. My tires actually look kinda small after my rubicon suspension swap.

Hey, so, how much difference did you notice after the suspension swap? I see them for sale all the time.

Firstly, there are a lot of different spring rates. I mention that mine are Rubicon LE because those were fully loaded Rubicons with the highest spring rate available. That gave me the most lift. However, I don’t notice much of a difference at all when I hit large bumps. You do feel small road undulations more through the wheel. It handles and tracks a lot better IMO. I’ve been thinking about this, because it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense that my Jeep doesn’t ride rougher with such a higher spring rate. I’m convinced that my tires have a lot to do with it. Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3s. They’re E load, so I have to run lower PSI, I keep it 35 PSI or under, but they are wearing great and have great traction. I have 35k miles on them.

When I first had them installed, they had like 45 PSI in them and it rode super rough. Hah

I tried to buy a set of 37's online from Discount Tire today. Website wouldn't let me because it said they wouldn't fit my Gladiator. A quick call to the local store and the gentleman who took care of me asked my rim size and verified it was lifted. He ordered them over the phone with no money upfront. My favorite tire store.

Glad to hear said manager was instructed to pull his head out of his arse. Good wheeling to ya!

MY 35S KO2'S FIT FINE ON MY FACTORY RUBICON WHEELS, HE IS JUST BEING A PRICK

NOT YELLING, CAPS LOCK STAYS ON AT WORK, LOL

FYI, I have worked there 7 years through HS and college and have friends that are managers now. The manager can and will get fired if a tire is installed that doesnt "fit" a vehicle or wheel. I had ~8 managers over the years and all have been fired except 1 since I started with the company in 2003.

I have a 22 Overland with true 33x11.5x17 stock with absolutely no issues!

Just wanted to update everyone on my experience - everything was absolutely perfect! One of the guys working there had a Rubicon and we talked Gladiators for a few minutes. I was quite impressed with the service and the speed. This was my first experience with DT, but it won't be the last. Thank you @Discount Tire !

Oh, and the KO2s look great!
