Happy to help, it's always good to have updated information a few years later!

My understanding is that at 2" or less, factory UCA's are fine. Any more height, the spring will contact the arm and aftermarket UCA's will be required. With the Leveling System we're running, I have it set at 2" lift and the factory UCA's clear without hitting the spring. We've had no clearance...

Appreciate that, Brennan! :D

Thanks! IMO, 37's and a little lift seem to match the proportions of the Gladiator quite well. I'll have to put a tape to them when I'm back home, will follow up later on.

Time for the reveal of the Stage 2 mods! I was able to get to Moab for a quick trail test, heading to Hells Revenge. I'm very pleased with the outcome of Stage 2, I gained much needed ground clearance, better approach, breakover and departure angle. I was able to check the tire clearance...

Well, onto Stage 2 of the build! Here's what it took; Teraflex 1.5" spacer leveling kit Daystar 3/4" rear spacer Falcon 2.1 monotube shocks American Adventure Labs Highline Brace & DRL's American Adventure Labs Quick Release Front Inner fenders AEV Salta JK-spec wheels, powder coated with...

Finally towed the Willys CJ2a behind the Gladiator! It was just a local tow test, didn't go on the freeway. I was actually VERY impressed with how it does with a heavy load behind it. I'd guess it's 5,000# total, the Rubicon Gladiator has a tow capacity of 7000#'s. The suspension is pretty soft...

Same to you, looks great! I liked the Tan seats, they don't get hot with the top off. The Red dash wouldn't have bothered me, but I do like the Silver. Awesome, I just got my Teraflex leveling kit and Falcon 2.1's... really looking forward to getting them on!

I've wanted a Vector Dock in my Jeep since I had my JKU, pretty excited to get one in the Gladiator now! I went with the Curve E-Dock and love it. They're very handy, making access to your phone, camera, radio, tablet, etc quite convenient. The build quality is excellent, too. Always happy to...

They weren't an option when I ordered my Gladiator, unfortunately.

Awesome! You loving it as much is I am?

Thanks, I do love this truck! Yeah, even a stock Rubicon on 33's looks a little funny.... I love that 35's will fit with no mods, but 37's will really help. I did take it to Moab for the first time yesterday, getting some good footage and it's pretty obvious that they're long and low, on the...

Finally had the first real offroad trip in the Gladiator. I have to say, I'm super impressed with the way this thing rides. IMO the Fox 2.0 shocks that come on the Gladiator are valved too lightly, but the coil springs, control arm lengths, push-button disconnect sway bar and even the 33" tires...

Some small mods to the Gladiator, nothing crazy.... yet. Don't worry, big mods are coming soon! I dislike the massive whip antennae that came from the factory, so it got replaced with a 7" tall Rydonair antennae from Amazon. I've used these before and despite their size, they still get good...

Well, first trip in the Gladiator is in the books! I towed the OUT to Gunnison, CO for the first Rocky Mountain Overland Rally and the drive out climbs some pretty decent elevation between Montrose and Gunnison. The OUT isn't too heavy, but it does have a lot of rolling resistance with 35" BFG...
