Not sure if this fits your vehicle or need help selecting the right spring rates for your specific setup? Browse all suspension parts for the Jeep Gladiator or contact our suspension experts for personalized advice. You can also check our FAQ page for common fitment and setup questions.
Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for optimal ride quality, vehicle control, and component longevity. When choosing your front and rear spring rates, consider only your constant load – accessories and equipment that remain on your vehicle permanently, not occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, or items you carry intermittently. Front constant loads typically include bull bars, winches, upgraded bumpers, lights, and communication equipment. Rear constant loads include canopies, tray bodies, dual battery systems, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, water tanks, and permanently mounted spare wheels and jerry can holders. Selecting a spring rate heavier than required for your actual constant load will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may cause premature wear or damage to other suspension components including shock absorbers, bushings, and chassis mounts. For assistance calculating your constant load and selecting appropriate spring rates, contact our technical team who can guide you through the selection process.
Professional installation by a qualified 4WD suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, safe operation, and warranty compliance. Installation requires specialized tools, spring compressors, and torque equipment along with suspension knowledge specific to the Jeep Gladiator JT platform. A full four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry, prevent premature tyre wear, and maintain safe handling characteristics. Allow a 500km break-in period for springs to settle and shock absorbers to bed in, after which you should re-check all mounting hardware torque specifications and conduct a follow-up alignment check. Depending on your lift height goals and driving requirements, consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms to maximize suspension travel, correct alignment geometry, and improve off-road articulation and wheel travel.

This Dobinsons kit provides approximately 2 inches (50mm) of lift over standard factory ride height when fitted to a Jeep Gladiator JT. The actual installed height will vary slightly depending on your selected spring rate, constant accessory load, and whether you're running the Rubicon or non-Rubicon variant. This lift height significantly improves ground clearance, approach and departure angles, and typically allows fitment of up to 33-inch tyres depending on wheel offset and minor trimming requirements.
The complete kit includes 2 x front MRA 3-way adjustable remote reservoir shock absorbers, 2 x rear MRA 3-way adjustable remote reservoir shock absorbers, 2 x front heavy-duty coil springs in your selected load rating, 2 x rear heavy-duty coil springs in your selected load rating, and all necessary shock mounting hardware and bushings. The kit does not include upper control arms, brake line extensions, sway bar links, bump stops, or installation hardware which may be required depending on your specific setup and should be purchased separately if needed.
Yes, this Dobinsons MRA kit is excellent for towing applications thanks to the 3-way adjustable damping system which allows you to increase compression damping to control vehicle squat, maintain attitude, and improve stability when towing. The ability to independently adjust low-speed and high-speed compression means you can fine-tune the suspension to match your specific trailer weight and towing conditions. For maximum towing performance and load leveling capability, many customers pair this kit with airbag suspension which provides additional load support and on-the-fly height adjustment when hitched up.
While upper control arms are not strictly mandatory for a 2-inch lift on the Gladiator JT, upgraded adjustable control arms are highly recommended to optimize alignment geometry, maximize suspension articulation, and achieve proper caster and camber settings. Aftermarket control arms allow your installer to correctly position the suspension geometry after lifting, which improves on-road handling, reduces tyre wear, and enhances off-road wheel travel and articulation. If you're planning serious off-road use or want to maximize the performance benefits of this premium suspension kit, control arm upgrades should be considered as part of your complete suspension system.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing any lift kit on your Jeep Gladiator. Lifting the vehicle alters suspension geometry including caster, camber, and toe angles which directly affect steering feel, handling characteristics, and tyre wear patterns. Your installer should perform a complete alignment to manufacturer specifications (adjusted for lift) immediately after installation, then recheck alignment after the 500km break-in period once springs have settled. Skipping proper alignment can result in premature tyre wear, poor handling, and potentially unsafe steering characteristics.
Spring rate selection is based solely on your constant load – permanent accessories that remain fitted to your vehicle at all times. For the front, calculate the weight of your bull bar, winch, upgraded bumper, lights, and communication equipment. For the rear, include canopy or tray weight, drawer systems, dual batteries, long-range fuel tanks, water tanks, and permanently mounted spare wheels. Do not include occasional loads like camping gear, passengers, firewood, or items you only carry sometimes. Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride and may damage other suspension components. Our team can help you calculate your load and select appropriate spring rates.
With this 2-inch Dobinsons lift kit, most Jeep Gladiator JT owners can comfortably fit up to 33-inch tyres without significant modifications, though exact fitment depends on wheel offset, tyre width, and specific tyre profile. Some minor trimming of plastic guards or mud flaps may be required at full suspension compression and steering lock depending on your wheel and tyre combination. Running 35-inch tyres typically requires additional modifications including control arms, trackbar adjustments, and more aggressive trimming. We recommend test-fitting your desired wheel and tyre combination and cycling the suspension through full compression and steering articulation before finalizing your setup to identify any contact points.
This Dobinsons MRA lift kit is backed by Dobinsons' comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, providing peace of mind for your investment in premium suspension components. Warranty coverage requires professional installation by a qualified technician, adherence to specified service intervals, and use within the product's designed operating parameters. Warranty does not cover wear items, damage from accidents or misuse, or issues arising from incorrect installation or spring rate selection. For specific warranty terms, duration, and claim procedures, refer to the warranty documentation included with your kit or contact our customer service team who can provide detailed warranty information.
Absolutely – one of the key advantages of the Dobinsons MRA 3-way adjustable system is the ability to optimize ride quality for both daily driving and off-road use. For highway commuting and around-town driving, you can dial in softer compression and rebound settings that provide excellent comfort over bumps, expansion joints, and typical road imperfections while maintaining controlled handling. When heading off-road or carrying heavier loads, simply adjust the compression damping firmer to control body movement, prevent bottoming, and maintain stability. This versatility eliminates the traditional compromise between off-road capability and on-road comfort that characterizes fixed-rate suspension systems.
