Greetings, I recently purchased a used 2023 Gladiator Sport with 2400 miles. At the dealership I crawled around underneath and was able to see the vehicle had been obviously taken off road. At least the previous owner took care to install just about every skid plate available in your average off road catalog. The Gladiator itself was in great shape. No body scratches, a little tree scuff on the left rear fender which followed back to a small crack in the rear tail lens. Had a little condensation but has been replaced and its all good. Paints perfect and all door jam and vertical lines were straight.

My question is that according to my measurements it has either a 1.5 or 2.0 front lift. Drivers side front fender measures 37 5/8, and the rear measures 38 1/8. I added a picture of each side to show the work and parts used. Both coils are tagged 340 and the shocks are silver with no identification decals on them. Not sure if the bump stop is stock, have no reference to tell. I recently had a different dealership install wheels and tires, along with the alignment. And it aligned perfect. I figured a different dealership would not be bias if they saw something wrong. It rides and handles great.
Its my daily driver, but I do enjoy camping and running down fire access /logging roads.
Just wondering if I need to save my money for a replacement kit, or run it. Thank you and safe travels

Looks like a 2 inch lift based on the size of the bump stops. Possibly Rough Country?

Why not just run it and see how you like it. It looks like a decent set up and should be fine for your intended use.

Thanks for the response. I figured I'd just run it for now. Safe travels

I am glad to see they used coils and not spacers.

It appears you have a front leveling kit.

Coils and sway bar end links are not OEM. The sway bar end links (quick disconnect at that) are JKS.
The coils and shocks I have no clue as JKS doesn't offer a level kit.

Where can I order an average off road catalog from?

The JKS disconnects were just in the picture. I know they don't offer leveling kits. The shocks and coils were the items in question. Thanks for the responses
