Hello. First post but been lurking since we got my wife a Gladiator. I'm coming from a Power Wagon that I do wheel. She's ready to get in on the action a little too.

She's getting wheels and tires - 285/75R17 [34x11.50] - put on today so it's time to get the suspension ordered. This won't be something that goes offroad much, so my priortiy is on ride, safety, and capability. I haven't found a kit I like so I'm piecing it together.

I want it to ride soft and I want good adjustability on the front end to be able to change caster and keep the axle centered. I really want to make sure I prevent inducing death wobble.

Here's my plan for 2.5" up front and 0.75" rear

Rear is simple, just Daystar 0.75 pucks. No other changes.

Front plan is:
2.5" EVO Plush Ride coils
Metalcloak adjustable LCAs
Metalcloak adjustable Trackbar
Rancho 9000XL adjustable shocks for 2"-3.5" lift
Metalcloak Front Coil Correction Pads

Plan on having a lot of caster to help slow the steering down and prevent death wobble.

Forgot to mention sway bar links. I was going to wait on those and see what length I need to get a nice angle on the sway bar, but if anyone has input on a good length for 2.5" lift that would be cool. Metalcloak has 12.25" for their 3.5" kit, but I don't know how'd they'd do on only 2.5" lift.
