JLUR or Gladiator Rubicon Suspension for JL Willys

[j-rob]

Would you guys recommend or have any advice on installing a JLUR suspension or a Gladiator Rubicon suspension on a 2-Door Willys for a little more lift to clear 35s?

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed!

I think the suspension from a JLUR might be better. The gladiator will have a different spring rate in the rear coils cause it does truck things. Also, I'm not sure the control arms from the gladiator will work on the JL platform. The rear of the gladiator is more like a ram truck; it's not a derivative of the JLUR.

Thanks for the info.

Any idea what kind of lift I can expect from that kit?

Not sure really. I'd guess .5 to 1 inch. The JLUR will be heavier so you should see a little bump in ride height by using its springs.

Hopefully someone that has done a similar swap will chime in with real world experience.

And since you have the Willys you only need the springs, or if you get a full takeoff set you'll have an extra set of shocks
