Fox Performance Series 2.0 IFP Shock Front - 3.5-4in Lift

taller than advertized
JohnF 2 years ago
I have a winch and heavy bumper extra gear in my truck and still got 3 inches of lift a year later after these are installed. My guess is they offer closer to 4 inches of lift... and will settle to about 3. They ride nice and if you get them aligned properly... mine have not crumpled or bent. They ride great.

EVO Manufacturing 2.5in Front Plush Ride Coil Springs, Pair

Working!
JohnF 2 years ago
I've had these on for a year... I think it really helps your JT keep factory steering feel. You lose a little GC but it is worth the lack of bump steer and other problems you get with other methods of addressing the control arm length after a lift. No signs of weakness at this point in their life!

EVO Manufacturing Front Overland Control Arm Drop Set

Helps a little!
JohnF 2 years ago
Every little bit helps when lifting a truck, and this helps the rear carrier driveshaft in a JT gain back some angle when lifting your Jeep. Most kits don't address this concern, but for long term Daily Driver use... moving things closer to stock will help them last longer! Good product!

Easy way to move stablizer!

Get that steering stabilizer up and out of the way of rocks! Clayton built a very solid bracket, and it will easily handle the stress of larger tires. Well built!

Clayton Steering Stabilizer Relocation Bracket Kit

Great for small spaces
JohnF 2 years ago
Never had to use it... but as far as finding a location for it... it is so small you can fit it anywhere in your Jeep. Looks to be a great way to have so fire protection without taking up a lot of room. If you want more ability- buy two!

Still good!

I bought this simple track bar for my JT after a 3 inch lift. It clears my 37 inch spare tire and it has good flex and makes no noise. Good product!

Rock Krawler Rear Adjustable Track Bar

Work great on a non-rubicon JT
JohnF 2 years ago
These cover a little more than the rubicon rocker skids, and they mount in the same location and should provide lots of strength if they get hit! Packaging was great, and they have held up well after 1 year of use.

HD!

This is one large chunk of metal! I would say it is the most heavy duty Track bar I've ever seen. Works great! can be adjusted on the truck!

Steer Smarts Yeti XD Adjustable Front Track Bar - Black

Added ground clearance
JohnF 2 years ago
The low weight gains and added ground clearance make this product a great addition to a Jeep JT! For 10lbs more you get great coverage than the stock skids and nearly an inch of Ground clearance! Think about how much you spend in lifts and tires to gain an inch of ground clearance... and you begin to see the value this offers! If you are on 37's you gain 3/4 inch GC on the belly of your truck...you would have to go to 39's to have that same gain. Artec builds great stuff! Directions on the Gladiator however are not great... they do not show the right brackets for the front or rear... so hopefully they get that updated!

Artec Industries Full Bellypan Skid Plate

Great way to help steering box!
JohnF 2 years ago
I have a JT with the new steering box installed that you can get through Mopar that is not alum. This just makes sense to help the new box be more solidly mounted to the frame. Larger tires are going to put more stress on these components... Rancho came up with a great way to strengthen the area that might flex on the frame. Good product!

Rancho Front Track Bar Support Bracket

ARB for a MAX TOW JT
JohnF 2 years ago
Great way to add a locker... I also added the RCV axles. ARB is reliable and most 4x4 shops already know how to install them. Great locker and great open diff when you want to be on the highway!

ARB Rear Air Locker M220 32 Spline

Bolt on, take off...
JohnF 2 years ago
These are solid and removable if you move on to a different truck, or if you go back to stock. Rock Hard builds solid stuff, and these will take a hit!

Rock Hard 4x4 Front Lower Control Arm Skid Plates

The beef!
JohnF 2 years ago
I lifted my JT a little over 3 inches in the front, although the kit did not call for a new front driveshaft... when I put the suspension through its travel it was obvious that the front CV was going to get torn or crushed off road. This is a solid answer to that concern. I've had Adams driveshafts in the past on my JK and it was the only driveshaft I had out of three that I did not need to rebuild after 1 year. So, when it came time to get one on this JT... I went straight to Adams! After 1 year...no rebuilding, still is working great!

Adam Driveshaft Extreme Duty Series 1350 Solid Front Half Round CV Driveshaft

You need this!

After my 3 inch lift the truck had a little more tail play in the wind then I like, this helps control the rear of the truck in on-road situations. VERY SOLID!

Rock Krawler Rear Track Bar Relocation Bracket

Two radios
JohnF 2 years ago
I run with family and two different 4x4 clubs, and my family and one club uses CB, and the other club uses GRMS... so I decided to have one of each. This radio is very compact, has good range, and can fit in most applications with very little effort. The weather radio works great, and I find I use it a lot while scouting around when I'm out all day or a couple days. Sound is clear and it works great.

Midland MXT115 MicroMobile GMRS 2-Way Radio Kit

Good so far!
JohnF 2 years ago
I put these on last week... as you know working with the JT control arms takes a lot of power- as the control arm bolts at over 200ft pounds when tight. One side had some issues getting on and required me to put a slight bend to it in a vice. the other side fit perfectly on the first try. They make a lot more difference than I thought on highway and flat surfaces... it does take out some of the rocking when hitting large bumps or dips, and helps it stay stable in high winds. I have not tried them off road yet, but it looks like it will help the rear have better articulation. They seem solid and secure after drilling and mounting.

Teraflex Rear Upper Control Arm Extended-Travel Axle Bracket Kit - 1in+ Lift

These are awesome!
JohnF 3 years ago
I bought these to offer protection on my non-rubicon Jeep Gladiator. They installed in about 15min. They fit without any modifications to the truck. They mounted in two existing frame bolt holes, and they use the tow package bracket for a third bolt. They will work with any aftermarket bumper that does not protrude beyond the factory bumper divet that is in the rear body panel. They are very solid. You can also attach rock lights to the framework above the skid to light up each corner of the rear under the truck. Price is amazing!

LOD Destroyer Bed Sliders, Pair - Black

They work!
JohnF 4 years ago
I lifted the front 1.5 inches on my gladiator sport.... this was a way to catch up half of the stock height on the rear of the truck to not look too nose up when hauling stuff. No signs of wear, and no side effects. They worked great to keep the 33's cleared on a Max Tow sport when off road.

Daystar 3/4in Rear Spacer Kit

Nice little lift on the front of my Gladiator
JohnF 4 years ago
I planned on running 33's with the Max Tow sport that I have, and so this gave me just a little more room for flex when off road. I installed both pieces... there is no change to the ride because stock springs are still used. Works good!

TeraFlex 1.5in Performance Spacer Leveling Kit No Shock Absorbers

I decided to match the Fox shocks on my Gladiator with another Fox product! It has worked great on my 2020 JT!

Great Pump!

I had an air compressor that lasted me over ten years... but it never was fast nor really reliable. In the end it died and I went looking for another. This ARB compressor has been great, this week I filled 8 tires up to 30lbs (37's and 32's) while most in the group were finishing their first set. I used to be one of the last one done airing up at the end of a trail... its nice to be able to help others!
