Hey, if anyone wants, I have a set of Evo 2.5" plush ride springs and 2.5" shock extenders I can bring along. Throw me couple bucks if you want, but I'd like to get them out of my garage.

I may be interested. Bring them along.

@Benbean66, Is the 2.5 " measured from a Rubicon with metal bumpers? I wonder. My garage clearance is close. I'm pretty sure I want these, though.

Damn I'd love too. But with a pregnant wife and it being 4 hours away from VA beach the weekend would be to tight of a turn around for us. I'm trying to go out and do Union Springs or flagpole know again on Easter Sunday weekend.

There comes a time when a gladiator has to leave the house and forge it's own path.
This may finally be the time.

When I had them on my Sport they provided right around 2.5-3" of lift. With your steel bumpers, I could see them squatting a little. They are fairly soft, too.

On my Rubicon, I can feel it when towing.
The springs are definitely setup for 4wheeling, vs street, but have a nice balance on the road when not towing.
I may add airbags to the back of mine to reduce some of the bouncing. I am going to start a thread on that.

Also, here is a really weird statement for you all.
I have a cold/flu right now and feel like crap but seem to be on the mend.
which is good timing, because I should be fine for next weekend.
So the funny statement is

I am Glad I got sick this week.

I left the overland springs on the rear of my truck because they seemed stiffer for towing. I got sick like 4 weeks ago and it turned into a sinus infection then went into my lungs. I'm still recovering but getting better. Getting sick sucks.

I went with Clayton springs, and they seem to carry the weight, especially when towing, a little better. I towed a '69 Pontiac from PA to GA, and it went smoothly, and didn't squat much at all.

I also have a set of 1" spring spacers I may be willing to part with too. I'll bring everything I have, and let y'all fight over it. Haha!

Front and rear spacers? Or just a level?

 

[Elff]

Down the road I may piece together a clayton kit with their 1.5" springs up front and 2.5" springs in the back. That will preserve the rake, but get me better springs and some more room.
But i'd like to try the airbags to see if that alone would resolve it, because I am trying to avoid bigger tires and a re-gear since the Gladiator is not my Rock Crawler

Thats what I am trying to avoid right now.

Bōf of dem

Welp, I gots the Covid. Omicron is the wimpy version compared to O.G. Covid, which I also had, so I am assuming I will knock this out over the weekend and be more than good to go by next weekend.

Thats what you get for kissing bats, get better soon.

Oh man, that sucks. Yeah, the sequel is never as good as the original. Hope you get well soon, and we'll see you out next weekend.
