For me and my jeep, I will probably never get to the point where I will need a 3 link setup, but i do enjoy seeing people use and build their jeeps to the full potential.
Hey Ben I do have the teraflex line anchors. I can say they have saved my brake lines from being pinched Offroad. Great give away. Extremely impressed with the channel. Keep it up boss!!
I cant wait to see the Gladiator lifted I have mine with the 2.5 Mopar lift with the Fox shocks & the 1.5 Teraflex leveling kit that you recommended & I am VERY happy, with it. THANKS for sharing your knowledge.
I still can not decided to get them or not. It was suggested to use the JKS quicker disconnects this past summer, but after 3 times of wheeling in the rain and/or freezing temps, I'm tired of going through the process of pulling out the "click pins", having a helper to rock the Jeep so I can slide the JKS quicker disco's off, zip tie the sway bar, go wheeling for 6 hours, coming back to the air-up stations, cutting off the zip ties, wiping dirt and mud off the mounting posts, then putting the JKS Quick-disco's back on. Also, if I run with only the drivers-side off, I've noticed the "click pins" on the passenger' side have become bent. --well, hell. I'm going with the Curie Anti's in spring.
I got em on my jku with a 4” Currie lift and love it man I’m running the anti rock in the front and fully removed the stock rear anti sway bar n love how it rides plus lots of flex 💪🏻
I just ordered a front antirock thanks to your videos and after running with no front sway bar for the last 6 months i’m excited to feel what it’s like to be connected again
I like the closing video with Four Peaks in the back ground. I did help a friend raise his rear control arm brackets on the axle. It improved his down travel. I'm not sure on the ride. He said it was better but I have not yet went for a ride. he moved them up about a 1 1/4" plus shorten the control arm about 3/8".
10 months later and I'm watching again and also looking at a 2007 jku. The price is right. Trying to decide on some upgrades and your awesome jeep is where I'd like to see mine one day. Thanks for the gread
Another awesome video 👍. I’ve watched your channel grow, and I love that you and Cassie have kept true to your original vision of the channel. Other channels have grown and are now more about product and manufacturers endorsements then helping others in the Jeep community. Thank you and keep up the great work. Someone already guessed Rough Country so I will go with Rubicon Express as the kit
Great video Ben, the Jeep looks like it's where you want it now. I've gotta get a set of those brake line anchors myself to stop my brake line from rubbing on the shock body.
Great, honest review Ben. I really like my 2.5 rk triple rate springs and was glad to hear it’s working well with your set up too. You got me seriously considering the anti-rock!
Thank you for an honest review of your suspension. I have been eyeing the antirocks for some time and may now need to commit to them at least on the front. As for the Gladiator, Rough Country suspension.
Rock Krawler!!! Just a guess. I went with the falcon 3.3 shocks with the Metalcloak dual rate 4.5 in coil springs. Took it up to Topps mountain Jeep trails. Not too hard of trails and got to rip it a little so I got to try the adjustable shocks out for different applications and loved them. Couldn’t believe the difference between setting 1 and 3. Went from super responsive stiff setting while hitting about 30 on the trail to super soft like I was floating on a cloud. Ha anyway love the set up and I think I’ll go with the Metalcloak control arms next
I have a 14 JK with tons and 39 inch BFG‘s with the Clayton 3 1/2 inch long arm lift absolutely love it ,it rides drives and handles better than my wife’s17 stock JK
I really like the stability my anti-rock brings, especially off-camber-butt-pucker situations, but not sure that really keeps the front end from unloading when climbing straight up. Probably really depends on what I am climbing. My guess is RK this time on the Gladiator, unless Teraflex came out with something for you to test out.
Great video Ben, I hope you bought the same lift kit for the Gladiator that I did. I bought the 4.5” / 3.5” Skyjacker liftkit with 12” travel, a super kit that’s affordable and could be used with 37” / 38” or even 40” tires 😀👍💪 best regards from the Netherlands 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸
I appreciate the detail review. I would like to match this setup and knowing it was a budget build means I don’t have to drop a TON of money to get to this!
Been waiting to see how you liked the whole setup. I really want the antirocks. I've been riding without a front seat bar for months and haven't really had a problem on road. I hate having to disco and didn't really want to pay for quick discos when I'll eventually get antirocks. I also definitely want a 3 link, but I definitely want to learn to weld first and do it myself.
That was a great follow up on your suspension on the JKU. Anxious for you to school us on coil overs. On the Gladiator, you are either going to fab it yourself or you are going Rock Krawler. Just guessing. Lol
Information overload!! In a good way though, I love your channel. Thanks for sharing everything you have in your setup and how things are running. Looking forward to what is coming in the future!!
Thanks for the overview. I just had the MC 4.5 lift with the Teraflex Falcon 3.3 shocks installed on my '16 JKU. I am loving it planning on getting it offroad first part of next month. i definitely feel the difference of the dual rate springs over my Mopar 2" lift with Fox shocks on the road. I will have to go back and look at what skids you are running to protect the Falcon rear shocks. I have the Rock Hard skids undeer the rear lower control arms and feel the falcon rear shocks are looking exposed.
I don’t foresee myself going to 3 links and 1 tons anytime soon but I was waiting for this review of the Falcon shocks. Been looking at them for a while and this pushed me to get em. Purchasing some triple rate springs and falcons ASAP
this awesome!!!!! I like your channel because most of the things are done with an average or a little higher than average peoples budget and is a lot of knowledge drop in all the videos, thank you!!!!
Didn't know there were brake line anchors like this . Thanks this is just what I need. Would've been nice to have a link, but I'll manage to find them.
I bought my TJ stock 2 years ago and have rebuilt it from the ground up. Its a scary task at first, but now I am more happy with it than ever. The best part is, I know EXACTLY what is on it. I ended up doing a metalcloak long arm kit on 35's and rebuilt some junkyard axles and swapped them in (as well as CV drive shaft and SYE kit). I had no idea where to start either and I didn't want to mess up my jeep. I found out that going with quality parts is the way to go. Good luck!
Man That is a. Long way from just putting grab handles on.lol The axle swap looks like you are More than satisfied. My 16 will benefit from adjustable control arm's. Ben thanks for all the suspension content!
Nice review. Does the antirock make any noise? I've heard the make a lot of creaking? Did you go with the RockKrawler triangulated 4 link lift for your gladiator?
Mine havent made any noise yet. The delrin bushings could possibly squeak after a while, but a little grease would stop that. And im not doing the RK 4 link. It does look pretty cool, but im not sold on a triangulated 4 link on a truck. Plus, its kinda a "mild" triangulation, if i was to do a triangulated 4 link i would want it to be done 100% correct and not kinda squeezed in there.
So how often do you drive the jk? I have a 17 and am pretty much building the same thing but I have about a 100mile commute round trip what do you think about a 3 link on that much of a daily 5 days a week I do wheel and when I do I go to some pretty crazy places.
Since I got the JT, I’m not driving the Jk as much. When I do daily drive it, my commute is 60 miles round trip. The suspension handles the driving perfectly fine, my issue is the extra weight from the one ton axles. That gets a little crazy when you drive it every day
Is it just an acceleration thing or what changes with the tons. I know offroad it lowers the center of gravity but what all changes with the tons. I'm one of those weird guys who builds a ridiculous rig wheels it places most cant and daily drives it.
Thanks for the review Ben.I have been thinking about the Rock Krawler triple rate coil springs for the front of my XJ.I am wanting a softer ride and I think these will work pretty by good....
Damn well said. You must have a ton of money in the jk with testing and tuning and changing a lot of things on it. I miss my JKUR can’t we to get another one in a couple months.
Awesome to get some feedback on all the components & how that are all working together. Keep the videos coming. Can’t wait to the lift on the gladiator. I think I need to get some of those brake line brackets. Are they on for the fronts? You don’t need them for the rear?
Can you do a steering video? I have a little bit of wander and bump steer on my Jeep. My angles are good and upgraded my tie rod and drag link. Still having issues. Maybe a sector shaft brace or I have to do a flip kit with trackbar relocation bracket. I just need a little bit of advice.
Why didn’t you go with a four link instead of a three link? And I had never heard about anti squat and anti dive until now and I’m excited for your video on it.
Ben, that anti-squat talk made my eyes glaze over, but I would really love to see you do a video on it, maybe with more charts and visuals to help understand. Also honestly surprised you're only running a 3.5-4 inch lift! I figured you were at like 6 or something! Gladiator: Rancho lift kit
I'm currently looking to do a JKS 3.5 lift on my JT, so it would be cool if that was the lift you are going with. Either way looking forward to the video showing ur choice.
Yo Ben….AJ…Rock Solid Rig….Josh says “What’s up”…now that you have had the Falcons on for a while….what’s the longer term revue? Recently had the Bilstein Blowup at Wolf Caves and trust your judgment. Getting replacements for the JK..what’s your thoughts?
Look i to synergy mfg control arm joints the bushings flex and are maintenance free just got their long arm and also king 3 tube bypass 2.5” shocks hopefully once installed feels smooth...teraflex lift on gladiator??
Hello there. Love the videos. Love everything you do honestly. But I do have a question. Was wondering why you put your stock antenna back on? Did the 50 cal stubby not perform well? Thinking about getting one for my jk. Anyway. Have a good one! 🙂
That’s a lot of work you’ve done to your JK! I have the Teraflex 3.3 falcon shocks also. I haven’t really messed with the second setting. Have you? Also see that you have a hood louver. Is it PSC? Anything that you had issues with that install? Awesome review video! The 3-link portion was a bit more than I understand when it comes to suspension. I’ve seen some videos that they chopped off the stock bolt on locations and welded them to other locations. I can only imagine that you’d do that if you get certain axles and tire setup.
For me and my jeep, I will probably never get to the point where I will need a 3 link setup, but i do enjoy seeing people use and build their jeeps to the full potential.

Same here! Im excited to see how it looks
Awesome video like always. So informative and detailed. It really helps improve the offroad communities knowledge.
Thank you for explaining the Currie anti-rock sway bars I have been thinking about getting them and that clip that you should sealed the deal.
I still can not decided to get them or not. It was suggested to use the JKS quicker disconnects this past summer, but after 3 times of wheeling in the rain and/or freezing temps, I'm tired of going through the process of pulling out the "click pins", having a helper to rock the Jeep so I can slide the JKS quicker disco's off, zip tie the sway bar, go wheeling for 6 hours, coming back to the air-up stations, cutting off the zip ties, wiping dirt and mud off the mounting posts, then putting the JKS Quick-disco's back on.

I got em on my jku with a 4” Currie lift and love it man
I’m running the anti rock in the front and fully removed the stock rear anti sway bar n love how it rides plus lots of flex 💪🏻
that intro was fire. great little add to the channel
I love for channel! The fact that you built the jeep deserves respect. I've learned a lot and look forward to seeing more.
I just ordered a front antirock thanks to your videos and after running with no front sway bar for the last 6 months i’m excited to feel what it’s like to be connected again
Your build is killer and the fact it isn't just a bolt on kit is very cool
That break line anchor is a pretty good idea, will defiantly add that to my wish list.
Those line supports are awesome. I ran them on my recon.
I like the closing video with Four Peaks in the back ground. I did help a friend raise his rear control arm brackets on the axle. It improved his down travel. I'm not sure on the ride. He said it was better but I have not yet went for a ride. he moved them up about a 1 1/4" plus shorten the control arm about 3/8".
Hey Ben, very informative video like always. Your jeep is badass.
It's great to hear all your detailed info on your jeep.

Someone already guessed Rough Country so I will go with Rubicon Express as the kit
PowerTank makes an N₂ compact kit fit adjust shocks and bumpstops
Congratulations to ES!
I really like the anti rock sway bars
Thank you for the very in depth over view and comments on all the suspension work you've done. Great comments.
Thanks Ben!! Was waiting for this! Answers a lot of questions
Pretty awesome setup for sure. I would consider doing their long arm brackets with custom aluminum links.
I’ll probably change out the lowers for aluminum eventually. The cost difference is insane, so we will see lol
@@JKGearandGadgets I know. I tend to dream bigger than my wallet can manage lol
Great video Ben, the Jeep looks like it's where you want it now. I've gotta get a set of those brake line anchors myself to stop my brake line from rubbing on the shock body.
Great, honest review Ben. I really like my 2.5 rk triple rate springs and was glad to hear it’s working well with your set up too. You got me seriously considering the anti-rock!

Thanks for taking the time to do this video on your setup! Great video on a few of the products I’m looking to install this year.
Rock Krawler!!! Just a guess. I went with the falcon 3.3 shocks with the Metalcloak dual rate 4.5 in coil springs. Took it up to Topps mountain Jeep trails.

Always good to see and hear about your ride. Well thought out and executed additions. Keep it up.
I really like the stability my anti-rock brings, especially off-camber-butt-pucker situations, but not sure that really keeps the front end from unloading when climbing straight up. Probably really depends on what I am climbing. My guess is RK this time on the Gladiator, unless Teraflex came out with something for you to test out.
Great recap of the suspension work. Looking forward to the rear suspension mods that are forthcoming.
I absolutely love my Rock Krawler 3.5 springs. I definitely agree that it is all a mixture of parts.
Glad the Jeep is working great! My guess is the new rock krawler kit with four link rear..🤔
Nice seeing the jk again. Waiting for Barnes to release the 3 link for the 2012 and up.
Great video Ben, I hope you bought the same lift kit for the Gladiator that I did. I bought the 4.5” / 3.5” Skyjacker liftkit with 12” travel, a super kit that’s affordable and could be used with 37” / 38” or even 40” tires 😀👍💪 best regards from the Netherlands 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸
I appreciate the detail review. I would like to match this setup and knowing it was a budget build means I don’t have to drop a TON of money to get to this!
ready to do most of these type mods, but for now I am limited to what the wife wants. hope to have mine by the end of the year
Great informative video Ben! I was anticipating to hear about your thoughts on the recent modifications.
Been thinking about getting a antirock. Now I’m ready to pull the trigger after seeing your video.
they are a great upgrade!
My guess for your Gladiator lift is the new bolt on Teraflex long arm kit. If it’s not I think it should be haha.
Been waiting to see how you liked the whole setup. I really want the antirocks. I've been riding without a front seat bar for months and haven't really had a problem on road. I hate having to disco and didn't really want to pay for quick discos when I'll eventually get antirocks.

this awesome!!!!! I like your channel because most of the things are done with an average or a little higher than average peoples budget and is a lot of knowledge drop in all the videos, thank you!!!!
Thank you, i try to keep things realistic. i try to mix it up with "cheaper" projects and then some that are a little more expensive but not insane
My guess on the lift is you went with the Mopar Budget lift!
Your jk is such a sick set up. I like that it’s such a great off road rig but can still be a daily.
Didn't know there were brake line anchors like this . Thanks this is just what I need. Would've been nice to have a link, but I'll manage to find them.
There is a direct link in the video description. I always have info and links there
I love the direction this jeep is going, I don't know how to even start with my TJ
I bought my TJ stock 2 years ago and have rebuilt it from the ground up. Its a scary task at first, but now I am more happy with it than ever. The best part is, I know EXACTLY what is on it. I ended up doing a metalcloak long arm kit on 35's and rebuilt some junkyard axles and swapped them in (as well as CV drive shaft and SYE kit).

Reese Goetz how high is that Metalcloak kit? I’m looking at the 5.5 RE for my LJ
Ivan From the east 4.5 inches. I highly recommend
Reese Goetz can you fit 35s well with stock flares or should I go with tube fenders?
Ivan From the east Yeah I could. I drove with them for a while however, I ended up going with the bushwacker flat style flares
Love your set up man, glad it’s all working out for you.
Man That is a. Long way from just putting grab handles on.lol The axle swap looks like you are More than satisfied. My 16 will benefit from adjustable control arm's. Ben thanks for all the suspension content!

20 min video and you never touched that beer...it's cool, my wife will pour one out too! Good Review!!!!
Sounds like Rock Krawler is the Prime Lift (Been debating Rock Krawler vs Tera Flex vs MetalCloak).
Looking like I definitely need to get some brake line anchors for my xj. I hate how my lines hit my shocks
Been waiting for this video! Great review
I'm thinking ReadyLift on the Gladiator.
Been a very nice review on your suspension and I'm sure the lift kit you pick for your Gladiator will be the best
So how often do you drive the jk? I have a 17 and am pretty much building the same thing but I have about a 100mile commute round trip what do you think about a 3 link on that much of a daily 5 days a week I do wheel and when I do I go to some pretty crazy places.

Thank you for all your knowledge Ben. I showed this vid to my JK and she got jealous.lol love the rig man!!!
Thanks Benjamin. I'm curious on the lift now... AEV?
i would add a longer spring in the rear vs limiting
Thanks for the review Ben.I have been thinking about the Rock Krawler triple rate coil springs for the front of my XJ.I am wanting a softer ride and I think these will work pretty by good....
Just get the 1/2 teraflex coil spring spacer with the retainer that way the rear doesn't pop out.
I'm going to have to say you went with a Teraflex lift on the Gladiator! Great Video!!
Im looking into new shocks and springs, so thanks for the review.
Damn well said. You must have a ton of money in the jk with testing and tuning and changing a lot of things on it. I miss my JKUR can’t we to get another one in a couple months.
Awesome to get some feedback on all the components & how that are all working together. Keep the videos coming. Can’t wait to the lift on the gladiator. I think I need to get some of those brake line brackets. Are they on for the fronts? You don’t need them for the rear?
I want to add a three link but the cutting is a scary point of no return
You sir have built an amazing Jeep!
Like that you caught us up on how the mods performed.
I love my falcon 3.3s. I’ve been thinking about adding some antirock to my rock Krawler 2.5 lift on my jk
Always great information and cool videos. Thanks for the tips and feedback
Cool video. You do a really great job explaining things. As for the JT....hmmmm I'd have to guess the lift kit be from Icon or Rough Country.
Can you do a steering video? I have a little bit of wander and bump steer on my Jeep. My angles are good and upgraded my tie rod and drag link. Still having issues. Maybe a sector shaft brace or I have to do a flip kit with trackbar relocation bracket. I just need a little bit of advice.
Great review as usual. Thumbs up! My guess for the lift kit brand? Zone Offroad?
Hi Ben, So you had the opportunity to experience both the Barnes 3 and 4 Link set-ups. After having both, which do you now prefer?
Great review Ben! Carry my favorite spray for those pesky heims til you get back off trail - Silicone!
But that rock Krawler lift with the triangulated rear looks pretty awesome for the Gladiator. But maybe you went with a Rustys or Clayton lift?
Would love to see a budget hydro assist build or at least go over the setup on your JK. As for the lift on the JT... Fabtech?
Awesome video and information Ben. Keep on keeping on...
Pretty awesome in depth video for the suspension system great info here thank you!
Why didn’t you go with a four link instead of a three link? And I had never heard about anti squat and anti dive until now and I’m excited for your video on it.
As always Great video man. Love your setup. One day hope to have mine close to yours. Thinking you went with rough country lift on gladiator.
Ben, that anti-squat talk made my eyes glaze over, but I would really love to see you do a video on it, maybe with more charts and visuals to help understand. Also honestly surprised you're only running a 3.5-4 inch lift! I figured you were at like 6 or something!
Gladiator: Rancho lift kit
Lovin the vids, real happy about the answers I've been very curious on building a 3link for my tj
Awesome video man, keep up the good work!
Do you have a part list available? And how much $$ should we be looking at for the parts? 🙃
I hope you put Metal Cloak on the JT.
Rock Krawler 3.5 4link rear for the JT
Great video Ben, I'm on the edge of getting those falcons for my rig.
I'm currently looking to do a JKS 3.5 lift on my JT, so it would be cool if that was the lift you are going with. Either way looking forward to the video showing ur choice.
Yo Ben….AJ…Rock Solid Rig….Josh says “What’s up”…now that you have had the Falcons on for a while….what’s the longer term revue? Recently had the Bilstein Blowup at Wolf Caves and trust your judgment. Getting replacements for the JK..what’s your thoughts?
Glad your enjoying your set up. And great vid.
Thank you!
The vids are great, very entertaining and hugely informative in helping me design my suspension.
Great Video Ben! I am learning a lot from your channel.
Thanks for the update on the Beast!! Look forward to see more. Cheers
Look i to synergy mfg control arm joints the bushings flex and are maintenance free just got their long arm and also king 3 tube bypass 2.5” shocks hopefully once installed feels smooth...teraflex lift on gladiator??
Hello there. Love the videos. Love everything you do honestly. But I do have a question. Was wondering why you put your stock antenna back on? Did the 50 cal stubby not perform well? Thinking about getting one for my jk. Anyway. Have a good one! 🙂
That’s a lot of work you’ve done to your JK! I have the Teraflex 3.3 falcon shocks also. I haven’t really messed with the second setting. Have you?
Also see that you have a hood louver. Is it PSC? Anything that you had issues with that install?
Awesome review video! The 3-link portion was a bit more than I understand when it comes to suspension. I’ve seen some videos that they chopped off the stock bolt on locations and welded them to other locations. I can only imagine that you’d do that if you get certain axles and tire setup.
I have the Hyline Offroad hood louver, it’s a lot nicer. It uses studs instead of bolts, so it looks 100x cleaner and more professional
