Long Arms (and Coilovers)

Does anyone out there have a true long arm (front and rear) setup for the Gladiator ? I seen somewhere that Evo was working on one but I haven't seen it offered (or anyone running it). Thinking ahead...

I think I saw that EVO did a custom one off trailing arm type rear on a JL or JT but not sure.

I've heard one of my friends talk about some company with a 3 or 4 link kit but I wasn't paying attention because I don't have a JT

I can't wait to see how this turns out. I know its more involving to install (and i'll probably have a shop do this) but the results are deff worth it.

Yup, same reason why I don't have a HEMI in my JK. They are really big, really heavy and have a lot of issues with overheating. Also, an LT is a much more modern engine with more real power from idle and I like that it can be coupled to an 8 or 10 speed transmission.
Not to mention the LT is cheaper than an equivalent Hemi swap.

Now this is something to look fwd to!
Yup, its a shame that they don't offer a Gladiator with a v8 option - but I am perfectly content with the 3.6. The OD gears on the 8 speed are really really tall (I am guessing for fuel economy reasons).

Iron Rock has a bolt on long arm kit for front and rear. Convenient, but I'd wait for EVO, haven't heard good things about the Iron Rock set up.

Yup I seen that - but it seems like a whole lot of work to bolt on new mounts - you still have to cut the old mounts off it looks like - after reading through and watching the process - i am willing to bet it will be easier (if you can weld ofcourse) and more secure to just weld the new control arms mounts into place.

I’m running an evo coilover setup and RPM STEERING three link long arm in the front.
