Question about 4" lift kits

[JustJimmy]

I'm looking a a new Gladiator that already has a 4" lift and 35's (Toyos).

Never had a Jeep so are there different kits out there and which are good/bad that I should stay away from.

The Jeep dealer had it installed so they should know what they're doing? Maybe?

If you're looking at a Gladiator that was modified by SoFlo Jeeps (just guessing based on your location) run far far away. They take a base Sport and toss on the most gaudy mods they can find, then charge $30k over MSRP.

Realistically you're going to over pay if you're buying a dealer modified Jeep. You're better off buying stock, doing your own research, and then finding a local shop to install the parts you want. Will be better quality and cheaper in the long run.

Who even currently makes a 4” lift for a JT? EVO has a 4.5”, and a few make 3.5”, so I would be skeptical to begin with.

you are asking for all kinds of problems with a 4 inch on a Glad, I would not do it.

And I agree SOFLJeeps, nice guys but mechanically no clue. bolt on garbage kits.

What problems are you expecting with an evo 4.5 lift. The stage 4 has all the control arms to correct geometry?

I don't know the evo from Adam but what size tire does one want to run.

Drivability in a nutshell- pinion angle and the ability to get everything back to spec so it drives like it does stock when it already has the ability to run 37's

over 2-3 and under is an entirely different ball game
