Yes. You will love the power and mpg. Just make sure you do the work or find someone who knows what they are doing. I would buy again 100% the diesel option.
Thanks for posting this! I have an ecodiesel rubi with the AEV lift same as yours. How did you get the metal cloak reinforcement brackets to work on the rear with the kit? I have a set and want to install them but wasnt sure how to go about it since the bracket with the AEV kit interferes
So remove the aev bracket and install the metal cloak bracket. Then bolt the aev bracket to the metal cloak bracket. It does not change the geometry as it still uses the same hole. It’s just reinforced. With that said. I’ve broken / bent a few endlinks with the weight of the gladiator. Broke one aev bracket. I upgraded my links to the core 4x4 hd rear links. I measured the aev endlink and the difference of the aev dropdown bracket and eliminated the aev bracket. (The link will be longer) I’ve had great results so far. Waiting to do a video.

Great video. Thorough and informative. Truly appreciated. Happy New Year!!
Shopping for a Gladiator now. Do you recommend the EcoDiesel? I keep going back and forth.
