Gladiator JT Rubicon Suspension

[longfiredragon]

Just curious. Will a Rubicon take off suspension off a Gladiator fit on Wrangler Sport? Springs/shocks/sway bar links. Would the lift height be the same, about 1" 1/2 to 2".

Thanks

IIRC, the rear suspension is substantially different. Front may work, except maybe shock mounts.

Front springs and shocks will work but not much of an upgrade... those shocks are SOFT. Rear suspension is totally different.

Thanks was just curious because there is a guy about 10 miles from me with everything off a Rubi JT.

Since I posted this here I needed to ask another question. If I put a Rubicon take off suspension on with a leveling kit which I think is a 1" spacer in front and 1/2" in the rear, will I get 2" of overall lift?

Thanks for the link also. I will speak to the guy from NC. Wife isn't thrilled with me spending any money right now, but I selling some take off suspension parts off my bike here shortly and may be able to swing something.

Thanks

I actually really like JT Fox shocks on my sport. fronts are direct bolt on, for rears transfer upper bushing from your current shocks to fox shocks.

El Zilcho, thanks for chiming in. So, what you are saying is the JT shocks can work? direct fit in the front, and swap bushings for the rear?

But you didn't gain any lift correct? Or what did you do to gain some lift? Do you know anything about the spring interchangeability. One person mentioned the front springs will work but may not be much of a gain. I would think you would get about as much as from a stock JLUR, thinking the Gladiator is just as high as the Wrangler, but don't know for sure. I am going to do some research on this. Wondering if you could use JLUR springs with the JT Fox shocks.

Again just looking at this because the guy is like 10 miles from me and I would be getting Fox shocks and at least the front springs.

Thanks

Yes, shocks work. There is a huge thread about it.

As others mentioned above, front springs fit and rear does not. With shocks alone you will not see any lift. I have JL rubicon springs and JT Rubi fox shock at this moment.

That's what I was thinking with the springs, makes since.

Didn't know of the topic already posted. Thanks.
