Looking to lift my gladiator sport s

[Camaroboi13]

There's quite a bit of angle change from 2.5" to 6", 2" of front end lift is a leveling, and has hardly any change. Those LCA's are +5/16", and are perfect for 0-2.5" of lift.

They should probably change their description instead of saying 0-4.5” then. Just thinking out loud

Yeah, I don't know, I've never lifted anything that much. Could be they are counting on lifts 4.5" to have the Xfer case lowered with spacers? Just a guess.

Good question. I went from zero to 4.5” and didn’t use any transfer case drop stuff. Not even sure it’s available for the JT platform to be honest. Sometimes I feel like I could use a TC drop but then that defeats the purpose of lifting the truck

There's spacers available, but I'm guessing you have adjustable control arms? Are you getting driveline vibration? If your caster is correct, I don't think you'd have a driveline angle issue, the rzeppa's are pretty forgiving. Do you know what your caster angle is? I'll see if I still have my alignment printout when I get a minute.

Did you order front coils? Once everything is installed, I would recommend an alignment shop familiar with Jeeps, you'll need to have the drag link adjusted to move steering wheel back to center, and have the toe checked and/or adjusted.

Yes They are coming in two days

You can adjust your steering wheel in your driveway with an adjustable hammer (crescent wrench ) and a friend to tell you when the wheel is straight. Takes less than 5 minutes if doing it yourself.

Ironically I don’t get driveline vibes on 4.5” lift, but my wife does in her 24 JLU with 3.5” lift. The 24 has the FAD box but nothing in it, so the front driveshaft is always spinning and I can feel it on the highway.

Banned thanks for all the help, the gladiator feel s good the only problem I ran to is the links, the diameter is bigger so I could not use these looking for alternative, for now I have the stock ones.
these are loose
