Spacer lift qiestion

[Gren71]

When I did my install I didn’t do any extended sway bar link. From what I have read, anything over 2” would require the extended end links. It can’t hurt to get the adjustable extended one as long as they can get short enough.

Another forum member saved me a lot of time and money with this suggestion

Get a set of REAR sway bar end links and put them on the front after your lift. Night and day improvement and cost me maybe $20

I got ReadyLift 2.5" SST lift kit. Gives 2.5 up front and 2 in the rear. Also added Rubicon take-off front springs and Rubicon Shocks all around. The ReadyLift is quiet, doesn't sound any different than stock, that's what the isolators are for. Love how mine rides and drives. Did everything for less than a $1000 with alignment. Would of been a cheaper but I let a shop install the spacerlift and do the alignment on it.

I love fixes like these. One of the reasons these forums are so helpful. I've learned a lot of stuff over the years for the old TJ, like YJ brake lines for lifts etc. etc. Learning Gladiator stuff now!

Which end links did you go with if you don’t mind me asking? It could benefit from not binding up the rear.

I just finished installing the Iron Rock Off Road 2" Spacer Lift. It's dark, so I'll take pics in the morning. So far, love the height and I kept the rake.

I may pull the 1/4in spacer i added to the front. I was messing with my travel trailer today and i sit level front to rear without the camper/truck bed being loaded.

We’ll see though

What model JT?
I have a Sport S max tow, I put in Rubicon front springs, 340 and 343s with a Daystar 1.5” front spacer and .75” rear spacer and Mopar LCAs I also put on Rubicon Fox shocks. Pretty pleased with the way it looks, handles and drives.

I had your setup at first and also really liked it. Just wanted a little more lift

I appreciate all the feedback and pics. Some really nice looking jeeps!

I think for the moment my plan is the 1.5 front and 3/4 rear, add some mopar longer arms in the front and search for some rubicon shocks and coils. I don't want to upgrade upgrade 35s until my stock 32 mts are done. I do like the iron rock 2 inch lift too so I am definitely weighing my options there too. Just don't want it to look like I'm rolling tiny tires and lots of gap until I do 35s.

If you do this remember to keep your front spring upper isolators. Most 1.5in front pucks replace these. If you end up going to the iron rock after a bit, like i did, you will need to replace the oem upper isolator underneath the iron rock front ouck.

The only problem we had installing the spacers was getting the rear axle to drop low enough to install the spacer. We took a tie down strap and compressed the coils, then they slipped right in.

Here is my lift. These were taken just after dawn.

The first one is before. The second one is this morning after the Lift was installed. At first measurement, I gained 2.25" up front and 2.5" in the back. That may settle a bit so I'll measure again when I re-torque everything after 100 miles.

Looks good!
