Overview
The Rubicon Express JT7134 is a 2-inch economy suspension lift kit for the 2020–2022 Jeep Gladiator JT. It uses steel coil spring spacers to level the factory rake and is a direct fit for the Gladiator trims covered.
The kit keeps the factory springs and dampers in place, using index pins and holes to locate the factory isolators. The spacers and sway bar drops work together to keep the factory geometry intact. The lift height range is 0 to 3.5 inches, and the tire size is 35 inches.
The 2-inch system makes room for 315-tall tires on Sport models and up to 37-inch tires on Rubicon models. Shock extensions and shocks are not included with this kit.
Key features
- 2-inch steel coil spring spacers that level the factory rake
- Index pins and holes locate the factory isolators
- Bolt-in rear bump stop extensions for clearance
- Sway bar drops to maintain geometry
- No driveline or exhaust modifications required, per the brand
Choosing tires and shocks
Spacer lifts change the geometry of the front and rear suspension, so tire size and shock length should be chosen together. Larger tires need room at full lock and in the wheel well, and the bump stop extensions affect how the rear suspension works near the top of its travel. Check clearance after the first few drives.
Factory shocks can be kept with a spacer system, but the ride height change may lead some owners to choose longer units. Sway bar drops alter roll behavior, so inspect the links and bushings at the same time. Alignment should be re-checked after any change in height.
- Check shock length against the new ride height
- Inspect sway bar links and bushings
- Verify front alignment after installation
