Long Arm vs. Short Arm...for my specific usage

[WILDHOBO]

I myself love the teraflex Alpine Control arms . I aint the only one @WILDHOBO has all 8 and loves em.

Best ones out there imo. Everything considered

The stock shocks on Mojave are great, but...I don't think I really need the by pass...those are for fast desert drive...and I'm not on that. I got the point of the value itself, but....for my purpose, I prefer to make a lift in all the part.
Part are ordered, will keep everybody posted on the progress

Glad ya got it worked out , and kot of us have Frankenlifts . I do .. as I couldn't afford the whole tamale at once and some parts from other companies I like better @WILDHOBO Has probably one of the most unique Frankenlifts in here probably 4 or 5 different brand of parts from different outfits and He just slaughtered Moab like a champ

I don’t know about slaughtered. Ha ha. Pritchett is a thing. Winched on the same theee obstacles two years in a row. But drove home at 75-80. So it held up fine.

Vendor list. Let’s see. It’s long. Teraflex, rock krawler, evo, SDI, metalcloak, fox, synergy, rock hard, next venture, Adam’s, RCV, revolution, corsa, KC, rock slide engineering, and it goes on and on and on. I pick what parts I like for a particular solution. I don’t think a single vendor is great at everything. So I buy what they are great at.

I am very happy with my build now. I would do this exact build on a Hemi Gladiator.

Good morning,
I have a 2024 Gladiator Sport S.
I'm running 35 inch tires with a 2.5" leveling kit. I am rubbing pretty good now on the back fenders.
I plan on removing the leveling kit and selling. (New install) I am planning on putting in a 3.5 inch alpine lift with alpine CT3 short arms.
I am also considering metal cloak and Clayton as well. I want quality without breaking the bank. My ride is my daily driver. The reason I am going for 3.5 inches is my next set of tires will be 37's
Appreciate the input.

Hi there,
The 3 brand you mention are the top.
I don't believe there is a real comparison around. Meaning, there is no a test of 3 same vehicles with different lift kit.

I chose teraflex as I see that is the one used on most custom company, like AMW. And the alpine IR I think is the best for those who is also using the rig for daily use.
I'll have mine dropped to the workshop tomorrow. Will take about a week the full project:
RT alpineIR long arm kit 3.5
Falcon 3.3 adjustable
Method rims with 37 BF all terrain
Regearing of the differential.

I'll be back with more comment as soon the project is completed.

That thing is going to be a completely new vehicle. I absolutely love my alpine IRs.

Project completed! It run amazingly, I can't feel the difference between Falcon and the stock Fox bypass.

37" are big, and even though gears were done, I can still feel the struggle. I mean, it doesn't have the sprint as before.

BF KO3 are a must. Very silent on the road, still to be tested off road. But they looks amazing on the Fuel Hyper rims.

The shocks are now set on 2.4. Which should be exactly between 1(hard) and 3(soft). I'll probably go to 2.5 /2.6. I tried some sharp corners, and no hesitation at all

Hi,
I went with the Terra flex 3.5 lift with short control arms, very pleased it looks great . I took it off road that night in the withalocochie state Forrest in lecanto Florida.. I was very impressed with the ride and height. I went with mid grade fox shocks. I got a great deal on the package from extreme terrain. Military discount and black Friday sale. Great deal all around.
I am going to sell my 2.5 leveling kit

They definitely get a bit more lethargic with 37’s, but it’s worth it as soon as you get to the trail head.
