I am trying to get any recommendations regarding lift/tire upgrade.
The Mojave I will be shortly purchasing will be used in the following terrain:
Mojave specific lift (like the one from TeraFlex or Fabtech) and 37" tires are being considered (as IMO they enhance the look of Gladiator even more) and here comes the question: considering the above vehicle use what would be the cons and pros of the lift and/or 37" tires. Factors to be considered are:
The Mojave I will be shortly purchasing will be used in the following terrain:
- 4 months per year in steep mountain terrain with twisty and narrow paved roads often covered with snow (mostly moderate snow coverage but plowing not always immediate)
- 1 months per year on hundreds of miles of unpaved tracks and gravel\dirt roads (Mojave will support gravel cyclists riding in Morocco, Turkey and southern old Russian republics)
- 4 months per year on same steep roads as in winter but dry
- often times on steeper fire roads with no snow (carrying MTB riders up the hill)
- some 8K miles per year will be done on highways (speed limit as high as 88 mph)
- no rock crawling is planned

Factors to be considered are:
- paved road ride comfort and performance
- unpaved road ride comfort and performance
- gas mileage
- reliability of the Gladiator as stock versus with lift and/or 37"
- improvements of driving\maneuvering through rougher terrain
- any others
