You can get those spacer lifts for cheaper

I just installed the second lift, got it for 200 from extreme terrain.You can get those spacer lifts for cheaper
@JeepCares why isn’t Jeep addressing this with dealers????I verified the dealer put in 5 quarts of oil change a few days ago. They put in 6 quarts the previous 2 oil changes. I called 4 random Jeep dealerships and asked how many quarts of oil a JL takes. All 4 said 6 quarts. Wrong. Right answer is 5. When I told them the JL manual said 5 quarts, they all got real defensive and said I was wrong. So I suggest that everyone who had a Jeep dealer change their oil to check their dipstick. Here is the oil thread where this has happened to other JL owners. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/reminder-5-quarts-of-oil-to-avoid-oil-overfill.14789/
Here is an example invoice from another JL owner of where the Jeep Dealership F'd up.

Don’t worry about spacers. Adjust the steering stops just a couple turns and that will fix the rubbing issues. You won’t even notice it.Installed my new set of 35s on standard Rubi rims that I bought from great forum member @19 JLUR Bright Whit3 !
Love the new stance, I know it wouldn’t work well offroad but it works for us; they do rub when I’m turning the wheels to the max, I think I’ll need wheel spacers to fix it, and possibly a lift kit (was considering 2.5” spacer kit by RC (Not sure that’ll really fix the rubbing though).
Thoughts ?

That sucks. It’s so many stories like this is why I avoid dealer service, even though Jeep wave is free for awhile. #DIYYesterday I went in for the 1st oil change, 3100 miles. When I picked it up, I noticed the invoice showed 6 qrts. So we had a discussion about 5 qrts in the manual. SM agreed there was some conflicting info out there, so we checked the dip stick, and it was exactly where it was suppose to be. So I said good enough and went home. About an hour later I thought I would back up the Jeep in the garage, since the hardtop is hanging in way, and double check the oil level. Boy did I get a surprise. The whole underside was actually dripping oil. I double checked the pan drain plug, it was tight. Called the dealer and SM said, oh yeah....the tech didn't screw down the filter cover all the way and spewed about 2 quarts everywhere...we thought we had cleaned it all up. I brought it back for a full detail, and they gave me credit for a 2nd detail anytime in the future. I respectfully and calmly put the screws to him, and the SM was very professional. We've been taking our Cherokee in for oil changes and service and never had a problem. SMH

I think the gladiator with 37s and 20s will look great and ride fine. Post some pics whenever you get it! Id love to see the finished rigThanks for the info!
I've run 38-40x13.50r17 load C/D on my past few jeeps. I'm looking to buy a Gladiator so I figured I'd give 20s a shot. I'll most likely do 37x12.50. So there will be decent sidewall.
