Thanks for the info. I see on quadratecs site there is a pre order option for the 5.78 backspacing which is similar to AEV wheels. I'll have to check but don't think I have the same backspace requirements running the 2" mopar kit. The 703 is a great looking wheel and the bead grip tech is an awesome bonus.
I was in the same boat wanting to wait for the AEV Saltas for the JL and JT but from everything I heard they may have been canceled or never coming out. I ended up getting the JK saltas which the offset is only 0.5in different than the AEV JT rims (more poke). Only the side lugs stick out from the fenders and all the tread is within the fenders. I was really hesitant because I didn't want them to stick out too far, but these are perfect. With the rockbloks xl mud flaps nothing hits the sides of the truck or fenders.
Thanks for posting up those look awesome on your truck. Do you have a photo down the side to show the poke you are talking about?I was in the same boat wanting to wait for the AEV Saltas for the JL and JT but from everything I heard they may have been canceled or never coming out.

Also, this is with 37x12.5r17 Cooper STT Pros.
Just took some more pics for you. These look great and I honestly wouldn't go any further negative offset, coming from a guy that hates any poke or positive offset on trucks. You won't regret the rims if you get them, they really make the truck and look oem.
Thanks! That pretty much solidifies it for me, this is the way I'm going to go. Yours are black, not onyx correct?Just took some more pics for you.

Rubicon with mopar lift, rockslide engineering slider steps, steel bumper and 37x12.5r17 compared to stock mojave. Looking to install the teraflex leveling kit as I now have about a 1.5in rake with a winch installed.
Yes, I got the matte black not onyx. Glad I could help, you'll be happy with the look! I spent months searching for a JT with these wheels with no luck lol.
Bought an MT Mojave of the lot from dealer in Sullivan, MO
You shoulda specified you wanted steel gears.
5-7 deg caster is ideal.. anything more than 7deg and you’ll potentially bind your front driveshaft ujoint. Attached is my alignment spec sheet. With the mopar kit LCA’s paired with the control arm relocation bracket I’m at a perfect 6.5deg caster and it tracks incredible. You just need to dial yours back 1 to 1.5deg to be ideal..
This was mentioned a few posts back. Sounds like this is what you're hearing. No idea what it is but you're not alone. It doesn't bother me enough to go digging around for the source.
Hmmm..I'm taking my gladiator in for its standard service and to have the recall work done, ill report the issue to see if the dealer finds anything and report back if so!
Sounds like the same issue i've had for a few months. Yes, sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the dash, or a bit deeper. Intermittent, but quite frequent, happens in 2nd or 3rd typically around 2500 to 3000 rpm. I'm running stock rubi gears, wheels and suspension. Very annoying and because i'm worried about damage tends to cause me to upshift early to stop the noise. Too intermittent for dealer to diagnose, we tried.
