Part of me wants to buy the lift, just for the crate 😂
Clear and concise. I like it.
Appreciate the help boss! 😉👍
I recommend to everyone that get the synergy track bar brace in the front. It makes the truck handle like a race car. I put it on my stock suspension jeep and it was night and day difference.
I might look into it. The gladiator still wonders, but no more than any other Jeep I have ever owned.
Would that interfere with the swaybar release
@@AlanTrades nope
You guys sound like me an my buddy. When you have a friend that can work on cars (me) they'll always hangout. Saved him 50k at least over the last 30 years.
Thanks for watching and commenting! It’s always good to have like minded friends who can also turn a wrench trustfully. 👍
Great video. I enjoyed it with a like and sub.
Thank you!
Looks Greattttt
Thank you! Appreciate the view and comment!
Looks awesome, I have the same Gladiator. Now that you had it like that for awhile, do you know of another kit you like better, or was there any reason to have an adjustable track bar or adjustable lower control arms? Thanks for the help.
Just took it wheeling over the weekend. It did really well. I have had no issues with this setup. I know the aftermarket parts are beefier in some cases, but I don’t wheel hard enough (yet) to worry about it. I don’t think the lift is big enough to require an adjustable track arm. It may be something I do down the road, but not something I feel I need to do immediately. No wobble, alignment was not an issue, truck tracks just fine so far. It’s a Jeep and still drives like one. One with no factory warranty issues to worry about. 😉
PS, thanks for watching and we love our hydro blue gladiator! Hope you’re enjoying yours!
Thanks Jason. This was the best so far. Do the torque specs come with the instructions?
Thank you! 🙏
The torque specs were in the instructions.
Awesome vid, ordered my kit. Is alignment needed after? Thanks
If it’s off, it won’t be much. But after spending a ton on new tires, I got mine done anyway. In my opinion, I would get one done. Check for local deals and or Groupon to save a few bucks. I ended up paying my local dealership to program the tire size and do the alignment. It wasn’t horrible and I knew it was done right.
This is definitely a manageable task. If it’s your first lift, plan on a couple days or one longer day. Take your time and work smart. Not bad at all.
Great video! I noticed you have the yellow sticker on passenger side spring. In the Mopar instructions manual the yellow sticker with the part number 68436806AA is for the left driver side.
Make sure you follow the instructions!
Does it matter per side? Got a kit off mopar. Has both the springs but part numbers were worn off.
Great instructional video! Thanks for posting it! After 6+ months now of having the lift installed, any feedback and/or issues? Still wandering on you? Did you end up having to have an alignment done as well?
Thanks for watching and commenting!
After a few weeks of driving post install, I did go back over all the bolts and re torque them. No issues thus far with the kit. I did have my dealership do an alignment to be sure I didn’t have any premature wear on the expensive new tires. It wonders a touch, like every Jeep I’ve ever driven. It drives and rides so much better with the lift. They should have come with it from the factory. I’ve got a one year video review coming out any day. (Just need to do the editing on it)
@@QuickShifts hey, thanks for the quick feedback! Looking forward to the review video! Subscribed!
Take the bump stop and run the nut down on it a few times, before you put it on. Makes it allot easier.
Sure wouldn’t hurt! Thanks for dropping a comment!
Beautiful keep!!
So you put on 37? What brand and is the lift enough if you go our crawling?
BFGoodrich KM3 mud terrains. With the 37 inch tires and the Mopar crawling has been easier with the additional clearance gained. I hope to get some off reading footage to add soon. Thanks for watching!
So I ordered the mopar lift for my gladiator but I originally wanted the even sitting effect of a leveling kit. Can a front leveling kit still be install and work with the mopar lift? Seems like if the suspension is out now is the time to do both.
Yes, this is a common thing done at the same time. I have not done it because I’ve been using the bed of my truck and I don’t want that Carolina squat. LOL
Great video! I just bought the Mopar lift for my 2021 JTR and I was wondering how it is doing? I have been viewing a lot of videos and yours is one of the best! A local shop recommended an adjustable front track bar, rear track bar bracket and a steering stabilizer along with the kit, Are all these things necessary if it is my DD 90% time and very light off-roading so basically a pavement princess! 😄 I'm just a little overwhelmed with the information. I have 35" tires already on it. Thank you and keep up the great content!
Thanks for the kind words and for watching and commenting! Those are all nice to have things. Do you need them, no. I have none of them still and my Jeep is fine. I drive mine about how you drive yours. In my head I go to trails all the time, in reality, not so much. It mostly goes to work and runs errands. The great thing is, you can add one thing at a time and feel the changes they make. I may upgrade my steering stabilizer next, then my track bars. But with the Mopar lift, it’s not a big enough lift to make any of it necessary. Bigger lifts impact the geometry more and in that case, it’s more necessary to adjust for it. But if you want to do it all at once, now is the time since you’ll be taking it all off to install the lift anyway. Pick what’s best for you and your situation.
@@QuickShifts Thank you for the quick reply Jason! I guess I will probably just add the additional parts and enjoy my truck! I just want to do the lift the right way and not have any problems with it down the road. I love my truck!
@@christinep.1774 if you are doing all at once, there are better kits like Teraflex you may want to go with.
Ya I have a question. Does Austin make house calls? I have a 2023 that needs this install ;P
Ha ha! Contact his agent and get that scheduled! 😉🤣🤣
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice job…
Thank you sir! Appreciate the view and comment!
Would it be easier to put the lower control arms in first and leave them loose. Then start with the rest I’m about to attempt this by myself and would like for it to be as easy as possible
Not really, you need the free play to shift things around. It really not a bad job and with a second set of hands and the right tools, you’ll cruise through it. Make sure you torque to spec and then after a few hundred miles, I suggest going back and torquing the control arm bolts again.
@@QuickShifts I figured re torque everything again after 500 miles. But I did it by the book and just pulled the axle back in place with the sxs winch
@@claytonmelchor9403 nice excuse to use the winch! I’m a little paranoid so I checked my torque a few times afterwards. LOL!
Did your stock Track Bars work after installing the lift and allow your axle th. Be centered? Also did you get an alignment? Thanks
Yes, the stock track bars fit and I did reuse them. Albeit, I was going to upgrade them next if I still had the Gladiator. I did get an alignment. But it wasn’t really off according to the tech. Just good insurance to have one done with these big tires as expensive as they are.
@@QuickShifts Thank You Sir. I believe I will go with the new Mopar 2" lift kit with the Bilstein Reservoir Shocks for our Ecodiesel Gladiator. Stock suspension can't handle the weight of bumper and winch I installed. Thanks again!
@@MuddyRuttzznice! Sounds like a good setup!
Jason do you know if this same mopar lift kit will raise my sport S 3.5" higher? Or only 3"? Because the Rubicon is 2" higher from the factory. Please let me know good sir. Thank you.
I would guess about 3” on a sport. if you install it, you’ll have to let us know when you’re done. Good luck with the install!
What about adjustable track bar? Have done it already?
No, still running the stock track bar. No issues with it yet. Might upgrade it at some point.
Had this installed at the dealer. They installed the rear shocks upside down (dark side up fox decal behind the tire) should I go back and have them do it properly? Haven’t seen any other installations like that. Can this become a problem?
I would. They should have done it properly. You didn’t pay them to do it wrong. I would be pretty upset about it too. That is not good in any way.
@@QuickShifts thanks for the response. I just didn’t know if they were going to say there is no “right way”. No Jeep I’ve seen with the lift has done it this way. Just wanted to know it’s the wrong way and if it could hurt the functionality. Just want to be prepared for excuses. Even though this should be a quick fix.
Subbed btw
@@alec.js_ upside down is wrong and the shield will act like a cup and catch water and debris causing premature failure of the shock. Take a picture before you take it in. Send it to Mopar and complain. I would.
@@QuickShifts you’re the man. Thanks dude.
Great vid! Where'd you get the torque specs from?
Specs are in the Mopar instructions. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@QuickShifts Ha! Thanks for the response!
Would this be ok with stock 32” mud tires?
If you are asking if the lift would work with that tire size, yes it would work. Going with a bigger tire size is optional. I sold my stock tires and bought bigger tires out of preference, not requirement for the lift. Thanks for watching and commenting!
DO YOU NEED TO RE-GEAR YOUR GLADIATOR RUBICON TO RUN 37's
No sir. I have not re-geared mine and I am not having any issues with it what so ever. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Did you need an adjustable track bar with this lift
No, I still don’t have one on the Gladiator and it hasn’t been an issue.
This is the Mopar 77072468AB kit? I assume it fits the 2022 Gladiator Rubicon. It's $1495 on Amazon.
That is correct. They keep increasing the price.
Mopar 2 inch lift for Gladiator - amzn.to/3mjACFe
@@QuickShifts isn't the part number AC at the end
How long did it take you to install?
I would say about 5 or 6 hours. Took our time and didn’t rush through anything. Could probably do it much faster a second time around.
How tall is your Garage door
from ground to frame it is 84 inches, but from ground to where the door bottom rests when open is 78.75 inches. Yes, the Jeep fits through into the garage. 😉👍🏻
Does it void the warranty if you install it yourself?
No, it will not void your warranty.
@Quick Shifts Thank you. How would long does it take to install the lift for the first time if I have never installed one before? Do I need a shop/garage with power tools? Is it better to just pay someone to install it for me?
@@Lyudtaru I can’t answer that for you, sorry. If you are mechanically inclined, have turned wrenches before and have the right tools, you can tackle this job. If it’s your first time wrenching, you could still do it, but you’ll need to invest in the right tools to do it. At the end of the day, if you don’t already have the tools, it may be cheaper to pay a shop to do it for you. If you do this job it can take a couple days for someone not familiar who should double check their work. A shop can do it in a day most likely.
@Quick Shifts that makes sense. I don't even have a garage and tools. I live in an apartment. Kind of sucks. But like you said maybe it's better to just pay someone to do it.
Does it sway as much as the stock suspension? Or more?
It sways less then stock, even with the 37 inch KM3. You’ll be happy!
@@QuickShifts did you get a steering stabilizer?
@@AlanTrades no, I have not upgraded any steering yet.
@@QuickShifts what's the part number? The one ending in AC?
@@AlanTrades I don’t know. Perhaps someone will be able to answer this for you.
go browns!
This is the year! 👍🏻🐶
go 6" inches homie
That’s what she said. 🤣🤣🤣
