Fabtech’s Crawler long arm 5″ lift kit for the 2020–25 Jeep Gladiator 4WD is engineered to meet the expectations of experienced off-road drivers who require a system that performs correctly out of the box without ongoing fabrication or excessive maintenance. This premium long arm system delivers exceptional handling, suspension articulation, and on-road manners while eliminating the compromises often found in custom-fabricated setups.
A key advantage of the Crawler system is its optimized Link Arm geometry and ground clearance. Fabtech has precisely determined the ideal mounting angles and positions to create superior suspension performance throughout the entire travel range. The front link arms mount to a full-width frame crossmember that ensures proper geometry while significantly strengthening the Gladiator’s frame for hard off-road use. Adjustable rear link arms utilize the factory frame and axle brackets for an easier installation.
The massive Fabtech lower Link Arms are built from 2″ OD, .313″ wall tubing and are guaranteed not to bend under extreme conditions. Both upper and lower arms feature Fabtech’s exclusive 5 Ton Joints®, which come with a lifetime guarantee to never wear out. These joints provide outstanding off-road durability while remaining smooth and quiet during everyday driving. Corner-specific dual rate coil springs deliver improved small-bump compliance, factory load-carrying capacity, and increased suspension travel for aggressive off-road use.
Additional system components include the Draglink Flip System designed to maintain factory steering geometry and eliminate bump steer, heavy duty lower shock mounts for increased articulation clearance, 3/16″ thick front and rear track bar brackets for proper roll center alignment, bump stop extensions to prevent over-cycling, extended sway bar links to maintain correct operating planes, and Stealth monotube shocks for a smooth highway ride with strong off-road damping capability.
