Jeep Gladiator Lift & Leveling Hub

The Gladiator is one platform — 2020+ (JT) — but it is not one fitment. It is a solid-axle truck front and rear, so lifts work the Wrangler way (springs, spacers, control arms and track-bar correction), while the trim ladder changes the tire math: the manufacturers’ own fitment tables split Rubicon from Sport/Overland, because the Rubicon’s high-clearance fenders swallow tires the other trims cannot. And one trim sits outside the catalogue almost entirely.

We have not hands-on tested kits for this platform. Everything published here is tied to a cited source — manufacturer fitment pages, checked 2026-11-04 — and our method is explained in how we test and verify.

Check first: the exclusion that decides everything

• Mojave. The factory-lifted desert trim is excluded by every mainstream kit we verified — spacer, SST and full suspension systems alike. ReadyLIFT sells a Mojave-specific kit (69-6043) precisely because the standard JT kits do not apply; we name it in the guide with its sourcing disclosed, and Mojave owners should shop only hardware that names the trim.
• Trim-split tire claims. A “fits 37s” headline usually means on a Rubicon. The fitment table below keeps the manufacturers’ trim-specific claims separate, which is where the honest numbers live.

The verified ladder

Mopar’s own 2-inch kit ($1,679 on the Mopar eStore) is the factory route; TeraFlex’s 1.5-inch spacer level ($115.99) is the budget level; ReadyLIFT’s 2.5-inch SST and Rough Country’s configurable 3.5-inch cover the middle; BDS’s 3-inch system and ReadyLIFT’s 4-inch Terrain Flex top out the verified range. Per-kit exclusions, trim-split tire claims and prices as listed are in our Gladiator lift kits guide. Wrangler owners: the JL shares much of this catalogue’s logic but not its part numbers — see the Wrangler hub.

Your workflow on this platform

1. Name your trim — Mojave first, then Rubicon vs Sport/Overland.
2. Read tire claims against your trim’s row of the fitment table, not the headline.
3. Budget for track-bar and alignment correction as lift height grows; solid axles move sideways when they rise.
4. Convert your tire goal with the tire size calculator, sanity-check it against the tire size and lift height guide, and price the whole job with how much does it cost to lift a truck. New to the vocabulary? Start with leveling kit vs lift kit vs body lift.
