Overview
The Rubicon Express JT7100 is a 2.5 to 3.5 inch standard arm suspension lift kit for the 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT. It is a direct fit for the Gladiator trims covered by this kit, and it is a front-position kit.
The lift uses coil springs at the rear and a standard arm system, with a lift height range of 0 to 3.5 inches. The specifications list a 35-inch tire size, and shocks are not included.
The kit is a 100 percent bolt-on design that improves street handling and off-road capability without changing driveshafts or modifying exhaust or brake lines. It makes room for 37-inch tall tires.

Front arms and alignment
Standard arms are a simple way to add height to the front end while keeping the factory layout of the upper control arms and steering. Because the arm sets the axle location, the front end and the driveline angle both move when the lift goes in. Owners often find that a new front alignment and a careful look at the steering linkage are the first items to address after the install.
Coil spring rear lifts are often paired with new shocks, since the stock shock length may not suit the raised body. Check the brake lines and the front driveshaft and CV joint angles after the first drives, and listen for clunks that point to loose hardware. Tire rubbing at full steering lock is another sign that clearance should be rechecked, especially with larger tires.
