It was finally time to install a full suspension lift kit on our Jeep Gladiator!!!
I really wanted to take my time, and take you guys along for the journey in each stage.
My goal was to show everyone how the Jeep Gladiator handled, looked, and performed in each stage, with the goal of helping those who were undecided on which setup would fit their needs best.
Its time to hit the trails with a full 3.5" suspension lift kit from Clayton Offroad. But before we dive into that, here are some links of the videos i made up until this point.

We started off stock and hit the trails; [ Ссылка ]
We then added the 1.5" teraflex leveling kit and 35s; [ Ссылка ]
Took it offroad with 35s and the leveling kit; [ Ссылка ]

I installed the 3.5" Overland Plus kit from Clayton offroad a few days ago (Install video will be posted soon after this one). So far it rides incredible!

Cassie and i decided that the best way to make a video talking about the new suspension lift would be to go out and enjoy a day on the trails. We hit the road, 3 hours later arriving at Flagpole OHV trail in Virginia. This is sadly one of the closest trails to us, so any type of offroading requires a hefty drive. The Clayton kit handles very well on road, and still drives like its brand new even at highway speeds.
We aired down to 12PSI, and hit the trails! This is a simple trail with no intense rock crawling, however there are a few cool water crossings and muddy areas. There are some optional rocky sections that added to the fun. The new suspension soaked up the bumps, at slow crawling speeds and at a higher offroad pace as well.
I hope you enjoy the video, because it was a very fun day of adventure on the trails!!
We even met Daniel and his girlfriend about halfway on the trail. We met back up and took a look at his rebuilt Jeep Comanche, which is a very capable rig!

Stay tuned for more videos soon! The plan is to continue reviewing and testing this suspension in various terrains, and hope to have a group ride in PA soon!
Next up will be the install and first look at the Rooftop tent!
Hopefully you can start see the build goal for the Jeep Gladiator...
This suspension fit everything i was looking for. I wanted a strong setup, something that rode very well, and a kit that still allowed for great offroad handling paired with the same great road manners while still being a simple and reliable suspension setup.

Thanks for watching and ill see you soon!
