BANDIT - 2023 Jeep JT Gladiator Rubicon

The other option is a triangulated four-link in the rear and just not have a trackbar at all. :p

Bandit is a great looking truck.

LOL - yeah, that would be an option but I already have that on my other Gladiator and with trailing arms, coilovers and bypass shocks 😁
 
The other thing you can do, take the hitch receiver assembly off and grind the material flush on the back side of it.

That will gain you about 1/2".
 
Looks soooo good. Wow.

The AEV JT bed mount vertical tire carrier would really play into that old school look. But then again, it's stupidly expensive, eats up bed space, and blocks rear visibility.
 
That looks really good!
I know it’s a pain in the rear but I’ve gotten used to the spare in the bed. It helps the groceries not fly to the front when I hit the brakes. Lol
 
Okay, so here's a shot of what the passenger side spring looked like right after installing the lift. Clearly, it's bowing toward the back.

And, here's what it looks like now - pretty straight if you ask me.

And, here's a link to how I fixed it:

Hope that this helps some of you out :cool:
 
Well, the track bar did the trick...

As you can see here, there's just enough clearance at the track bar for the spare.

And just enough at the hitch receiver.

Of course, there's just enough room at the frame rails to clear there too.
