Overview
The Rubicon Express JT7102T is a 4.5/5.5 inch standard adjustable arm suspension lift kit with twin tube shocks for the 2020–2022 Jeep Gladiator JT. It is a direct fit for the 80th Anniversary, High Altitude, Launch Edition, Mojave, Overland, Rubicon, Sport, Sport S, Willys and Willys Sport trims, and the kit is applied at the front.
The kit is designed for both on-road handling and off-road use. The rear lift uses coil springs, the lift height range is 4 to 5.5 inches, and the kit is designed for 37-inch tires.
Twin tube shocks are listed at the front and rear as included with the kit, so the damping is supplied with the lift.
Key features
- 4.5/5.5 inch standard adjustable arm suspension lift
- Twin tube shocks at the front and rear, included
- Front position listed in the specifications
- Coil spring rear lift method
- Clearance for 37-inch tires, per the specifications
Adjustable arms and axle position
Adjustable control arms let the axle be positioned and the caster set after the body is raised. Twin tube shocks handle the damping for the new ride height, and their length should be checked against the lift. The rear coil springs carry the rear height, so the front and rear should be balanced by measurement rather than by eye.
A front-position lift changes how the steering and brakes sit, and the alignment is the step that brings it back into line. Many owners also re-check the sway bar links and brake hoses after the install. Worn bushings and loose fasteners are easier to catch early than after a long drive.
- Re-check caster and camber after installation
- Compare shock length to the new ride height
- Inspect bushings for cracking after the first few weeks of driving
- Look for uneven tire wear on the front tires
- Re-torque arm fasteners after initial drives
