I was always wondering does the basic gladiator need a lift right away with 37s. The answer is Not necessarily.
IF:
You rip out the inner liners & do something like American Adventure lights & inner fenders, which gives you more space.
And the stock bumper should probably be replaced with a stubby (for now I grinded it down, but should have bought the stubby)

Gladiator Diesel 37s, 80th edition, American Adventure lights & inner liners, No lift. Bumper is the only real issue, need to replace it, or get a lift, both I have not decided on :/ But I have bought myself time to think it over by ripping out the inner liners.

Interesting that the diesel exhaust is on the opposite side as the gas. I never noticed that before.

yeah, guess they had to move it over to make way for the diesel configuration

Don't have a good pic, but made a short video... Stock Rubi lift with 35" KO2s.

The KO2s do a good job in the snow here, and didn't want to go too tall for towing.

I got so much good information from this thread, and wanted to contribute now that I have lift and tires installed.

Mopar 2" lift with 3/4" Daystar spacer in front. Fifteen52 Analog HD 17" x 8.5" rims with 0 offset, and 285/75R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers (C Load Rating).

Love them Analog HD rims. Ordered a set from Quadratec at the beginning of the month and supposed to ship out Jan 15. But now they have no idea when, maybe end of Feb. I'm not going to be happy if my truck gets to me before the rims. Then again my truck is also in limbo and may not get here til March (ordered 12/17). Anyways, good looking rig!

Thank you! I'm very happy with how it turned out. I also had the issue with Quadratec having them on backorder. @Northridge4x4 will price match, and when I showed them the link to the Analogs at Quadratec, they had the wheels at my door in 4 days. It was impressive!

Good grief that lift makes those tires look small. I was thinking they were 35's, lol.

Yeah I'm glad I saw that because I was debating about Clayton springs on Metalcloak arms but I'm not doing 37s until I can do re-gear, lockers, and axles all at the same time. Would make the truck look like it's a roller skate again with my 35s.

Just chatted with Northridge4x4 and was told they can't match quadratec's price. I guess they only pricematch sometimes? And it's also a 30 days wait for them. So I'll hang tight and see what happens. I was considering powder coating them sarge green to match the truck if they came in early.

It may just be the angle. I've seen some pics that make 37s look small on two inch lifts and looks perfect on 3.5" lifts that makes me wish I had ordered a clayton's 3.5 instead of 2.5.

Typically we recommend our 2.5" kit for Rubicons or vehicles with any kind of fender modifications in order to fit 37's but honestly I still love the way this truck looks!
