2" Lift on a Jeep Gladiator, Does it Look Good?

[@sgtg4600]

According to my last girlfriend it does! Bitch. Next time I'll get a 4 door. 👍

[@zacharyfike1071]

Perfect DD set up. Realistic build.

[@TheVikingSailor]

Realistic for who? lol I can barely afford the payments on the cheapest JT I could find much less all the stuff in this video. I'll just have to deal with being high centered all the time. lol

[@4466402]

I like the height of that Gladiator lift. Really made it loo more stout.

[@iamblaineful]

For 2020, Bronze is the new Black

[@thatmand4542]

i know this might be a dumb question to some of yall but does adding a truss void your warranty cause im planning to buy one for my dad and weld it in for him as a surprise since hes been talking about it,Also does puting coilovers on the front void your warranty on the gladiator since you have to cut out the stock shock mount,lastly (sorry i just need these questions answered) Does cutting off the sway bar disconnect mounts witch look like tusks void you warranty,Hopefully you can solve my answers cause im wanting to be sure what im gonna do before i do it

[@fhunjunkie]

$1,300 lightbar? Jesus, must be super special. Pro Tip: always get the light bar BEFORE you get the lift. :-)

[@Moab12]

Nice build! But the part about dirt roads in West Texas putting a lot of stress on the axle, ha! - fellow Texan

[@JT4BRE]

Hey you mentioned that the lift hand the control arm relocation brackets. But I noticed that you didn’t have them installed on the front lower control arms?

[@nitroxide17]

Nice build! Im not sure but Jeep says the mopar 2 inch lift can clear 37s with the JT rubicon. Also, I thought the OE axles can handle 37s if you dont wheel too hard.

[@heavyhitta52]

Not a fan of the bronze wheels with red truck. Think Bronze looks bets with black or white

[@dominicportillo1]

Wad Up Bubba, I'm torn between the 4.5 & 6.5 Evo lift kit Overland stage 4 plus with drop brackets. I seen Mel's OG 40 do some impressive stuff with such a high lift. Gladiators have a long wheel base so the higher the better but I'm new to this and I asking the experts from people I trust for there knowledge an experience. My JTR will see NO overlanding loading down the bed with racks & tents unnecessary weight. I will be hitting trail and crawling so I might have to get a custom kit with spring rates that aren't so stiff but I don't know. What are your thoughts? I'm new to the Jeep scene so my skill level is beginner but I will be going balls deep experiencing a new way of life .

[@Exodus4x4]

Check out the EVO mfg Fusion 6.5” kit. Coil overs in the front and King shocks in the rear. A great setup and basically what we’ve been running for the past 7 months on ours.

[@pwrofgrayskull]

Exodus Jeeps: what are the ACTUAL measured lift heights (front AND rear measured gains) on the 2.5, 4.5, and 6.5 Evo Gladiator lifts? Have you measured the gains? I’ve seen some interesting reports on the actual lift height when installed on some of these lifts so I wanted to check with you and get your take on it. Thanks.

[@Exodus4x4]

@pwrofgrayskull I have not. It’s looks to be right at 2.5” though and EVO has historically been one of the more accurate lifts in terms of advertised lift height.

[@pwrofgrayskull]

Exodus Jeeps: cool, thank you. 2.5 on both the front and rear or less lift in the rear would you say? I’m using mine as both a Jeep off road and a truck (hauling and towing) depending on the day of the week so the front/rear heights are important for my application. Thanks. 👍✌️

[@Exodus4x4]

@pwrofgrayskull it really depends on the level of wheeling you want to do. Light trails then yeah 2.5” with 37’s is good. Rock crawling it then you’ll want D60’s, 40” tires, and a 6.5” lift. It’s really up to you to decide where you want that lift to be.

[@joekennedy1618]

How much for kit - tires & wheels

[@davidefterfield8728]

That is a hot truck

[@markjohnson7712]

How much to install that kit in your shop approximately? With the truss? Think it’ will still fit in a standard 80” garage with 37’s? Awesome build. Bronze definitely goes with red for some reason.

[@Exodus4x4]

Best to email us through our website for a quote.

[@leavesthe9984]

Can you do a video on the trusses and what will make the Dana 44 near bulletproof?

[@iqcarlospinzon]

That's just crazy (the price)

[@moonwalkerRIP]

FnA! Sweet build. Bronze wheels look badass too!

[@RobertSmith-ti1ct]

This is like the dream build for my gladiator

[@joshualuk]

Looks good and wheel color. Shocks are cool.

[@SnCroadster]

Would the stock wheels with that tire work good with that kit? Just wondering about the possible backspace differences?

[@Exodus4x4]

Nope.

[@jeeps2230]

If i put a thrust with 40" tires will i be able to tow with no problem? Thanks

[@Exodus4x4]

A thrust?

[@danbrown4205]

Did you have to change the front drive shaft to accommodate the added down travel? Thanks and it looks great!

[@Exodus4x4]

He won’t be off-roading it aggressively enough to change the front drive shaft. Normally I would change the front driveshaft though.

[@snowmeowoutdoors802]

Really like the look of 2.5" lifts. I think they're perfect at 2.5" with 37". I got a full Teraflex lift coming for my JL.

[@JesusGarcia-fr5up]

Did you have to re Gear? Whit the 37's?

[@snowmeowoutdoors802]

@@JesusGarcia-fr5up yes. 4.88 but I have a 6spd not the automatic. It's probably not as bad with the 8spd auto.

Love the wheels! BUT you never got back to the “name change”?...or is that in the next vid...ok watching next one..

You’re right we didn’t. Truth is I haven’t really figured out what that name is going to be yet.

[@JohnJamesOfChelsea]

Looks great!

[@AngryIrishman1]

Could you go with a 38 inch tire without issues? Really like that new springs are all that are required to add more tire (along with driveline stuff). I've also heard that the 2.5 lifts are usually higher than that with EVO lifts.

[@jkustockaphobia2421]

Red with bronze looks bad ass 👍🏻 Good choice on lift .. EVO makes good shit .. not to mention King; those r sick too

[@danielsmith2274]

I have a Mojave edition and I’m looking at doing this same size lift. I was looking at fabtech. What is your honest opinion on that lift? I looked at evo also

[@Exodus4x4]

I would not touch the Mojave. What is on it stock is high quality stuff, why change it?

[@danielsmith2274]

@@Exodus4x4 I was just thinking of 35’s and a winch and new front bumper

[@Exodus4x4]

EVO makes a 2.5” lift with shock extensions, that’s the ticket

[@eugeneenslow8563]

Bronze rims definitely look GREAT. For this customer's work use, the lift is appropriate and not overkill.

[@jefflyon4601]

Nice Build! The wheels look good, nice lift height balanced

[@samc3227]

Hard to make a red Jeep look bad but I like it

[@Gonzo1968]

Badass build ,love the bronze wheels with the red!

[@PreonEnergy]

This is exactly what I want to do. I agree, it just looks better with a lower profile. However, one question I have is, how much articulation am I giving up by going with a shorter lift? Is the travel difference the same as the lift height difference? Meaning I would get two more inches of articulation with a 4.5 inch lift kit? This would matter to me since I still want to do some 7 rated trials in Moab.

[@Exodus4x4]

For Moab I would recommend a minimum of 4.5” if lift and 37” tires.

[@samhouston5217]

I like the proportion look to that with 2 inch lift and the 37's. I have a mojave. I'm looking at doing a body lift mainly because the mojave has such a sturdy suspension I hate to downgrade it for a suspension lift. I am a novice so I am wondering am I wrong?

[@sethnewman1755]

I’m looking at getting the Mojave in about a 1.5 years. How do you like it? It would be my first jeep

[@bryantwhittaker6086]

Another great video. What was the name of the set up that was capable of 2.5-5" of lift from the one system? Sorry forgot which video that was to go back and look it up..

[@Exodus4x4]

Most coilover systems have that range of lift. Be sure to check out the EVO mfg systems on our website

[@chuckcribbs3398]

Does it have wheel spacers??

[@Exodus4x4]

Negative

[@lesszabo5625]

Great looking setup, and the wheels really pop!

Love the bronze wheels.... Hey that brings a question to mind. What wheel manufacturer makes a quality off road 17x9 bronze or copper finish bead-lock wheel? I am trying to decide on what wheels to put on my 2" lift teal (bikini) 2 door Rubicon with powder coated to match Road Armor stealth fenders (higher clearance than stock Rubi fenders) running BFG KM3 37 13.5 R17's and I am unsure of what backspacing might be necessary running on the stock 44 axles (with 5.13 gears soon to be installed). I looked at the Method 106's but I am unsure of how good they are, even if they look awesome I need something that will handle the trail more than how pretty they are.

[@Exodus4x4]

The wheel in this video is a beadlock, so there you go!

[@sorenmelchior]

@@Exodus4x4 Haha...Good answer!

[@Exodus4x4]

Actually I was thinking of a different build. Method is the one that makes good looking bronze wheels. Check them out.

@@Exodus4x4 Cool, thanks for update.

[@snowmeowoutdoors802]

Venomrex makes some sick non beadlock wheels. I have em on my JL in gunmetal. They look good and don't have that mall crawler look.

[@bhbdvm1821]

Would this lift work well if I only wanted to use 35 inch tires? What I mean by work well is : look good, maintain a great stock or better than stock daily driver ride? Thanks!

[@Exodus4x4]

Absolutely!

Looks awesome! I have a red Launch Edition and love my stock black wheels but if I upgrade might go with these wheels.
