I have the Clayton 2.5" Right Ride + kit with front control arms.

The rear arms are stock, and the amount of lift gained in the rear was about 3.75".

Who here has upgraded their rear arms and what difference have you noticed?

When is it generally advised to upgrade the rear arms on the Gladiator specifically?

If your not looking for added flex and/or durability offroad they aren't necessary until you start getting driveshaft vibration, and even that can likely be fixed for less money with a carrier bearing spacer.

I've got a Rock Jock spacer now. :)

I haven't noticed any issues.

I have a set of rear lcas sitting in the garage for when it warms up. My only reason is that, after the 2in spacers, i can see that my rear axle does sit flat like a stock rear axle does
