An ode to the J-series truck from back in the day, the JT series has become an overlander favorite. Starting with the strong Jeep platform and solid axles, you can build pretty much any configuration you want with parts to spare! Even though it is longer then the JLU, this rig is very capable off road especially when you push those axles out for better approach and departure angles. Installing a Gladiator lift kit requires more than just springs and shocks...almost all lifted gladiators will require aftermarket adjustable track bars to get the alignment right.
