1.5 front, .75 rear like a lot of you. 35 duratracs. Honestly I'm done for the time being. After going on a few trails this will do 90% of what I ask of it, and its still basically stock on the street. As much as I drool over 3.5 lift and 37s I doubt I will go that way. Besides I just bought a tj as a trail basher for the realy nasty stuff.

Couple of thoughts
Just got done putting 35s on the gladiator and a few thoughts
1) this is how the Rubicon should leave the factory
2) these things swallow tires, seriously 35s on my jk looked enormous, but these new tire wells are great
3) God bless the engineers at FCA that designed a spare tire carrier that can accept upsized tires.
Great looking JT, looks just like mine save the body colored top, I prefer the contrasting black top and fenders. Whose rock sliders are those? I like those a lot and will need them if I pull the trigger on 37's instead of 35's.

i also have the iron rock lift and love the quality. Did the rubi front springs make it nose high at all? I want to keep a bit of rake for towing

hey everyone. i have 2021 jeep gladiator sport s with the max tow package. I just recently installed fox shocks off a Rubicon gladiator that only had 500 miles on it. I also installed the .75 inch daystar spacer kit front and rear. I have started to notice noise coming from the suspension and it almost sounds like a lose shock. and yes I torqued everything down. I did 75 on the lower shock mount and 85 on the top to the frame. I'm just wondering if its the lower daystar isolators on on the springs rubbing against the metal frame. I only notice when I'm going really slow like coming to a stop or when I first take off. has anyone else had this issue?
not sure if anyone had answered this yet since im not all the way through the thread yet. I had the same issue but found it to be with my sway bar links. Give them a look. The top bolt needs an allen wrench to tighten.

I don't think it did. Leveled it up pretty well in my opinion. If I pull tape from tire to the outer edge of the fenders there is slightly less clearance up front still.

Those are the RockHard Turned down sliders. The 5'1" lady loves them.

Another view of the RC 2.5" front, Daystar .75" rear and 35's. I wish these 35's would hurry up and wear out seeing all your Gladiators on 37's! I probably will not make it.:LOL:

Update! Added 3/4” daystar spacers to the max tow rear spring and the ride dramatically improved! I suspect mainly from the less compressed rubicon shocks in the rear and moving the center of gravity forward. Also think it improved the over all look, stance and tire and shock reveal. Took my friend and I about 20 mins thanks to the lift. Didn’t even have to take the wheels off

Looks great! I’ve been debating ordering these same tires for my daughter’s JK. How do you like the Kanati Mud Hogs so far?
