Photo Request: 2 inch lift w/ 33inch tires

[Sweetums]

So once your tires wear our will you go bigger. And if you go bigger will you regear? I have the tow package on my Sport, so I have the 3:73 gears. If I went to 35s I would feel the need to go to 4:10 gears and then 37s I think need 4:88 gears. Anyone else have thoughts on that

I have the diesel, so I was able to go with 35"s (see photos above) without regearing. I don't plan to go to 37"s because we have an LJR for the hardcore offroading and the truck is our daily, tow, and road trip vehicle.

May I ask why you guys lifted your Gladiators with 33's? I have a Sport with 33's and have had no need for a lift, but I also don't do any hard trails. I also like the look of the tire filling the wheel wells.

Did mine because of aftermarket bumper and a future winch made it dip too much offroad. The upgraded springs also makes it drive so much better, liked how it was driving. But if didn't change out bumper would most likely never lifted it.
33" and 3" lift

Yeah, the ride in the diesel with a winch on the front was horrible with the soft OE springs. Plus those garbage OE Fox shocks had failed. Lifting the diesel is kind of the only way to fix the ride due to the longer bumpstops in the front.

I was getting close to 27 MPG with my diesel. Camper and lift brought it down to 21 in city be lucky to get 25 highway. Didn't want to lose more mpg than I already did.

Mopar 2.5" lift with Toyo AT3.

Same wheels , same color but with 315's ( near 35's ). 1.5 front only

 

[audibahn]

My favorite wheels and color combo. I like how the 315 poke out just the right amount.

2" AEV with 35"s.

2" AEV with 35"s.

Did you add any other parts with the lift? Track bar? Etc?

 

[Free2roam]

Clayton also makes a 1.5 lift kit that may suit you as well. At least I think they still do

Nope. And 0 issues.

33" Falkens with Mopar 2" lift. added spacers to clear Apex swaybar disconnects as I have sport S with narrow axle configuration. Poke is about 1.25".
I like the look and towing is a breeze with 3:73 gearing.

Thanks! Those are 285/70/17 AT3w's?

If so that doesn't look too bad from a lift/33inch tire size standpoint.

Stock on Falken AT 33's

Now with AEV 2.5" Dualsport on same tires

Zeon12s brought it down some in the front now, haven't snapped any pix yet though. Rear will sag too once GFC camper sits on the bed. Generally not a fan of adding bigger tires, but on the fence on whether to go to 35's or not...

Edit: Now with the winch and LOD Armorlite running boards

they are AT4's 10ply, a little heavy but I like the extra load capacity and protection.
