Will there ever be a 1.25 inch body lift for gladiator???

[Nespeezy]

Now I know what your thinking. This clown wants to know if a body lift will ever be available for the gladiator. Well I was. If this is your first jeep u may not understand. Keeping your suspension as close to stock as possible will provide the best ride quality. However you may not get that articulation u are looking for. I had a JKU with 2.5 inch lift 1.25 inch terraflex body lift and flat fenders and 37s. This thing drove so nice. Low center big tire. Tracked straight as hell and was like a spider off-road. The body lift was so small u could not even tell it was there but with the flat fenders and small body lift it afforded me perfect stance and drivability.
When you start creeping into 3.5 4.5 and 6 inch lifts you so many other things have to be done to correct certain things. Maybe now that I am old the look doesn’t mean as much as it’s ride quality. Lol.

What are your thoughts? Would love to hear from Anyone who has a similar story? I posted a picture of my old Jeep.

I would love for a 0.5" body lift for the JT.

I suppose that depends on whether there is a perceived market demand for one. They exist for the JL, so there is potential.

Please don't put a body kit on a JT. Had one on my JKU and regretted it after having it installed. They look terrible and I hate the gaps they cause in the front and rear bumpers. Not going to hurt anything but also it's not like your gaining ground clearance so it kinda looks stupid. I had a 3" lift on the JKU with 1.25" body lift. Hated it but kept it installed.

I would like to see a 1" body lift for the JT. It would be perfect for the Mojave, where you don't want to mess with the suspension, but just an extra inch of fender clearance would be perfect for 37s.

Body lifts are a poor idea since the JK. The suspension is easily lifted to 2-3" without many compromises. This will support 35-37" tires.

While I agree that keeping the suspension close to stock is desirable, the design of the newer jeeps suspensions, along with high quality lift kits negates the benefit of a body lift.
