@Icepack I love it. Rides wonderfully and looks amazing. I did spring for the Rough Country V2 steering stabilizer to upgrade from the factory one and am glad I did. Only other thing I am adding to it is a set of rough country front control arm drop brackets and a set of metalcloak spring coil correction pads in the next week or so. Had it installed by my local jeep shop that is a Rough County dealer.
ordered and received this kit w/the Vertex Adjustable shocks from Quadratec . Plan to put them on my 2020 JT LE next weekend! hoping for somewhat smoother in town driving as its my daily driver while still being able to adjust quickly for offroad! Currenty running Nitto 35x12.5 Ridge Grapplers but will be going to 37s once I get my $$ worth out of the 35s!
Are rough country shocks like these in the same league as Fox, Bilstein, etc? I like the idea of an all in one kit but I don't want to cheap out on shocks either
Skip the RC N3 shocks. Mine were fine for a little bit but went bad fast. Go with the V2 Monotube if you want a decent shock for the price. Spend a little more for Fox 2.0s if you want a softer ride because the V2s are on the stiffer side (but in a good way).
I don’t understand why they offer this kit without caster and pinion angle adjustments, I see no adjustable front upper or lower control arms to set the proper pinion angle and caster on the solid front axle? I would assume this kit would be all over the road and putting strain on driveshaft front and rear without a drop bracket for the center of the rear driveshaft??
Not required for a 3.5” lift but it does cause the drive shaft bearing boot to wear more as the drive shaft angle changes. I have a 3.5” Clayton Overland Lift kit and will be upgrading to a single drive shaft but it’s not required. Been running my factory driveshaft set up over 2 years with lift kit installed.
I have this lift on my Gladiator and so far so good
Awesome!
What shocks did you go with?

How come RC kits are so much cheaper than some kits? Is that a bad sign being cheaper than some other kits on market?
Me too… just very clangy..
Having a hard time chasing after
Noise
Having this RC mojave specific kit with the shock extensions installed today with some 37in yokohama geolander X-AT's.
How is it? Im thinking about getting the samething for my mojave.

One thing to point out with the vertex shocks, the can and will rotate in the bushings meaning the shocks will clatter constantly when off-roading.
Clatter… chitty chitty bang bang..!! I’m going for the reservoir
Shocks…
My N3’’s.. i replaced with different
Shocks of my choice… love the Lift….

hey, i know its been about a year since you made this comment but how has the kit held up?
I'm wondering about the use of the factory fox shocks. What do the extenders look like once mounted.

There’s no way a lift this high would ride like factory without longer control arms
I want to lift my Gladiator higher. I have a 3.5 Rough Country lift on it. Is there a way to lift it higher without using a bigger lift kit?
where could i get them factory extenders, and how do they look?
Did you have to change the drive shaft?
Not required for a 3.5” lift but it does cause the drive shaft bearing boot to wear more as the drive shaft angle changes.

Just to clarify, this would give a non-rubi gladiator clearance to run 37s?
the video is of a non -rubicon. looks like a sport
Anyone have this and still tow 8000lbs with the gladiator
Personally,I wouldn't want to put a RC lift on something that nice.😁😁
I’ve had R/C on my last 2 jeeps with no issues. It’s springs and shocks not rocket science. People believe anything they read nowadays
I have RC on my jeep and no issues and winch.
Sorry. I couldn’t put RC parts on my Jeep.
It's sad that gave the name gladiator to this vehicle.
Why? Bc it's a 4 door? I think it's awesome but it would be nice if there was a 2door option for those who wanted it
Why? It’s awesome. I love mine. 27k mikes on it
@@MikeSmith-ey7ku just hit 36k on my 2020 LE! still love it though in 2024 gonna add a supercharger
