BANDIT - 2023 Jeep JT Gladiator Rubicon

LOL - yeah, that would be an option but I already have that on my other Gladiator and with trailing arms, coilovers and bypass shocksThe other option is a triangulated four-link in the rear and just not have a trackbar at all.
Bandit is a great looking truck.
And remove all the welds - yeah, no thanks. I want my hitch receiver to be functional and safe.

Should be welded both sides, mine is. The back side is overkill liability type stuff.
LOL - maybe so but I kinda like 'overkill' when it comes to things like towing. Not a hack I'm interested in.

Better yet, cut the back one foot of the entire Jeep off. It’ll fit and you’ll have like one of those push tires in the race track but backwards.

The solution for the spare is to hire a lackey to follow along in another Jeep to carry the spare tire for you.Spare isn't that big of a deal and there are solutions available. Glad you're liking it

I must say, this has become one of the finest looking farm trucks that I have ever seen!

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.

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:

SPRING BOW FIX - Passenger Side Front w/EVO 4.5" Coil
After installing a new 4.5" EVO Enforcer Stage 3 Overland lift on BANDIT, our 2023 Jeep JT Gladiator Rubicon, I noticed there was visible bowing of the passenger side front coil. From the axle, it was bowing back and then kind of S-curved up to the upper spring perch. Here's a shot of what it...

That’s what my brother bought to get a 37 in there and to keep the hitch. Only thing is the wheel/tire sits a bit low.Broke down and decided to give this a try...
Half the price of a new 35" Nitto Trail Grappler. Hope it holds up.
Oh yeah, I'm sure it will but I'd rather have that than carry the spare in the bed LOL

Have you thought about back hacking the truck. That should do it.
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.
Looks like we're in business

Track bar won’t hit when flexing?
