Skyjacker specifically engineered a progressive variable rate coil spring, distinctively a 2-stage dual rate long travel coil. Spring rate progression is from a 1st Flex Rate to a 2nd Ride Rate.
The 1st Flex Rate stage delivers a comfortable ride with the ability to flex for increased articulation. The flex rate expands during full articulation as the suspension drops (full droop). This keeps the coil springs seated in the upper coil mount/bucket and the tires in contact with the terrain. The 2nd Ride Rate stage only engages after compression past the flex rate. Engineered to coordinate with the Gladiator’s distinctive suspension handling characteristics, the rear coils are side specific.
Longer replacement Front Lower Control Link Arms correct caster angle. The inward offset bend improves tire clearance and maximizes turning radius. Longer replacement Rear Upper Control Link Arms correct rear drive shaft pinion angle.
Formed from 2-inch OD x 0.250 wall DOM tubing, both pairs of arms have pressed-in HD OEM style vulcanized rubber bushings at each end.
The replacement Front Adjustable Track Bar includes Skyjacker installed pressed-in HD OEM style rubber bushing and an adjustable 3/4-inch Heavy-Duty Rod End, Jam Nut and Alignment Bushings.
Front and Rear Bump Stop Spacers bolt onto the axle bump pads and keep the suspension travel safely in check. Front and Rear Extended Length Sway Bar End Links allow full articulation at full droop. Front sway bar end links include Skyjacker installed pressed-in HD OEM style rubber bushings. The Rear Links Include Press-In Polyurethane Bushings. Both are Zinc Plated for Corrosion Protection.
Proper suspension geometry ensures the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system functions within factory parameters.
