Mopar 2" Lift Questions

[Pookie]

I have a new Gladiator Sport S and plan to add the Mopar 2" lift in the next few months. For those of you who have this set up, I was wondering how it will affect the ride of the Gladiator, particularly on the road? Are the shocks on the Mopar kit the same as the shocks on the Rubicon?

I can say the ride is darn near stock on road. Maybe just a bit softer. You will feel a touch more roll going around corners, but center of gravity is higher so that's expected. I also added a 3/4 spacer to the front to account for squat from bumper/winch.

Mine came with the 2 inch mopar lift and 35X12.50 tires. I'll admit, it was an impulse buy after one test drive. The only other gladiator I drove was in 2019 and therefore I can't compare to the stock ride. I've had it less than 3 weeks, but the ride seems smooth to me. On the highway, it feels stable and controlled at 75-80 mph. The rear end feels a little jiggly over uneven areas, but it is a pickup truck. I switched from a F150 and was not disappointed in the ride. Somewhat softer than my JK with the 2 inch rancho lift and greatly benefits from the longer wheelbase.
