Lifting a Gladiator Willys Edition

[TommysWilly]

Hey guys, new member here...thank you for the approval many threads on here were helpful.
I just purchased a 2021 Sting Gray Gladiator Willys Edition and I’m having trouble figuring out the correct lift for it.
What I’m looking to do is temporary as I don’t want to go full suspension lift because I’m interested in swapping my Willys for the V8 version if/when it comes out.
I purchased the ReadyLift 2.5” front 2.0” rear lift kit from eBay which stated it would fit my Willys edition but looking at other sites with the same product it many other ones it says it will not fit my Willys edition. Does anybody else have/had this issue??
Whatever upgrades I do on this Jeep I want it to be easy to remove when the time comes such as the wheels and tires I purchased.
Another question, with the 2.5” lift from ready lift will fit on my Willys would that be enough clearance to put on 37s instead of the 35s I ordered?? I do not have the 3 piece rubicon bumper only the stock plastic one. Thanks to anyone in advance for your help and input.

That lift will fit the Willys. The only difference between a Willys and A Sport suspension-wise is the red shocks.

For tire size, that depends on how you’re going to use it. If you’re never going to disconnect your swaybar and wheel it, you might be able to shove 37s on there. I personally wouldn’t advise it.

Mine wouldn’t clear 35s w/ a 2” lift but there are a lot of variables.

Wow, thanks for the fast reply bud. I currently have 17” rims and 35” Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the way but haven’t shipped yet and www debating on putting 37s. After looking at your sweet ride on 35s I feel much better staying with the 35s. Great look bud and thank you again for the fast reply, your truck looks amazing!

Can you send a pic of the front profile? The rims I ordered have a -12mm offset, I do want to stick out a bit from fender but not too much.
