Rock Krawler 3" Adventure Pro Lift Kit Install - Jeep Gladiator JT

Welcome back to another video in the Northridge4x4 Sting Gray Giveaway Gladiator build. Today we are installing a Rock Krawler Adventure Series PRO lift kit. The Adventure series kit converts the rear 5 link suspension to a triangulated 4 link and gets rid of the rear track bar. Coupled with the new Rock Krawler HD control arms with their service free joints, this suspension will flex far better than your factory suspension ever could.
This kit features taller springs for a 3” lift and a firmer spring rate for all those accessories and gear you’ll be carrying.
To help smooth out the terrain, we matched this kit up with a set of Bilstein 5100 shocks. Featuring a 46mm piston in a mono-tube design, the Bilstein 5100s are probably the best-bang-for-the-buck shock you can get.
You can install this Rock Krawler lift kit in your driveway or garage. Follow along with Tech Tim as he shows you the how-to behind the kit and takes the Sting Gray Giveaway Gladiator to another level of off-road performance.

It's nice to see such an easy 4 link setup, didn't know one was available.

[@troybilt6752]

I am very pleased with my rock Krawler Pro X stage one on my Gladiator. I am also pleased that you are taking suck good care of my second Gladiator 😂

[@That1Stormtrooper]

Great video fellas!

[@radcoolade1481]

Been watching your Gladiator builds. The rock krawler build Is my favorite. Granit gladiator is the truck I want to build. I like the method wheels on the blue gladiator build. Can't wait to see your next gladiator build love theses videos. Your team is awsome.

[@northridgenation]

Cool, thanks!

[@Tinker3504]

I like the music. But was it really necessary at the same volume level during narration? Do you guys have a 16 year old video editor? 😂 Looks like a sweet kit though. Want more out of my Mopar lift and this may be the next phase.

[@KMBlaster]

I love it

[@SakimikeRenehan]

Dumb question - if you put in a 3-4.5 shock in doesn't it allow for the spring to fall about when the shock is fully expanded? 3" lift with 4.5" shock.

[@joeygrijalva5482]

Love the set up. I went with the 3” pro x. Not hard to install. The four link is the way to go. But having and issue with the front springs driver is bowing. Not sure why. Any suggestions on how to fix. My JT has not moved out of drive way after lift installed.

[@northridgenation]

Did you get the top spring cushions clocked correctly in place? There are two little stubs sticking up that fit into the upper spring seat. If they don't, the coil cushion sits cock-eyed and the coil will bow severely.

[@joeygrijalva5482]

@@northridgenation yes. Installed 3/4” spacers in the front. So I cut off the stubs. I think the combo is what through it off. All so messed around the isolator. Looks like it is corrected .

[@Dave_740]

Does the 4 link rear allow a 37" tire to mount in the factory spare location?

[@northridgenation]

Yes.

[@justinjess7776]

Can you just do the rear? I have a Mopar lift just wondered if you can keep that with going with the 4 link in the rear?!?

[@northridgenation]

Yes, we do offer those parts separate from the front. BUT, you really want at least 3" of lift for the rear PRO X kit.

[@jeepzandthings]

Did you have to relocate the evap canister?

[@northridgenation]

No.

[@davidhayes9170]

So did y’all do a pro x upgrade or what ? Because there isn’t this kit on your webpage

[@northridgenation]

This is the kit we used plus the Bilstein 5100 shocks: www.northridge4x4.com/part/3-3-5in-lifts/jt30px-rock-krawler-3in-pro-x-suspension-system

[@Blanchy101]

What roof rack is that? I can't find the video on it.

[@northridgenation]

That is the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform with Back Bone. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raSpgGSomNN5h5o

[@rd9865]

How is the rock krawler lift kit for overlanding?

[@northridgenation]

We like it so far.

[@thatmand4542]

Are yall gonna show how much flex it has ?

[@northridgenation]

Yes, we'll be taking it out on the trails in a couple weeks and will bring video of it in action.

[@thatmand4542]

@@northridgenation he'll yeah 😀,I'm really considering the bilstein 5100's or the fox 2.0's and get the 8100's/or fox 2.5's later down the road once I save up enough

[@patan77]

How much

[@northridgenation]

It all depends on shocks and other accessories.

[@guidok3762]

Nice video, annoying music……….

[@maxxmotto1]

You buy parts from this place they don’t have it on stock, takes more then 30 days to get them parts and after that they won’t let’s you bye the warranty, the answer call the manufacturer for warranty, witch the question is I bought it true you, good customer service. Never again will buy from this company again

[@northridgenation]

More info @Eddie Lozada needed. We only show you ordered once and we shipped it the same day you ordered it.
