Will the spacer kit work with the JT airlift air bags in the rear?
Yes, the AEV 2in Spacer Lift for 20-26 Jeep Gladiator JT retains the factory rear coil springs, meaning internal coil-style helper air bags (such as Air Lift 1000 kits) can generally still be installed.
However, because the kit includes rear coil spacer pucks and shock extension brackets, you will want to ensure your air line routing is clear of the new components and that your air spring's expanded working height matches the newly lifted suspension travel to prevent over-extension.

Can you send installation instructions with it
Yes, printed installation instructions are included in the box with the kit, and they are also available to download directly as a PDF on AEV's website.

When you connect the Procal to your obd2 port to calibrate the tire size, does it have to stay connected?
No, it does not need to stay connected.
The AEV ProCal flashes the new tire size configuration directly into the vehicle's computer module. Once the programming process is complete, you can safely unplug the unit from the OBD2 port.

Can you get this kit without the Procal
No, AEV includes the ProCal SNAP module as an all-inclusive component within the kit packaging, so you cannot purchase it as a standalone hardware-only kit directly from them without it.

I have a JT Rubicon X with electronic sway bar disconnect. Will this kit work with that and not affect anything?
Yes, the AEV 2in Spacer Lift is fully compatible with your 2024–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT Rubicon X equipped with the electronic sway bar disconnect.

Can I put 35 inch tires on my stock 20 inch wheels on my high altitude with this lift. Without it rubbing?
No, fitting 35-inch tires on stock 20-inch wheels using this kit will likely cause rubbing against your control arms or inner fender liners at full steering lock due to the factory wheel offset and width.
Wheel Offset Issue: Factory 20-inch High Altitude wheels feature high positive backspacing that tucks the tires inward too close to the suspension components.
Solution: To run 35s without rubbing, you will need either aftermarket wheels with proper lower backspacing or wheel spacers.

I have Mopar 2” performance suspension lift on my 2021 jeep gladiator rubicon. Can I install this spacer kit as an additional 2” and achieve a total 4” lift?
No, you should not stack them.
Combining the AEV 2-inch spacer lift on top of an existing Mopar 2-inch performance suspension lift will over-extend factory suspension components, severely disrupt suspension geometry, and create dangerous handling and driveshaft angles. To achieve a safe 4-inch lift, you need a true engineered 4-inch suspension system designed with matched springs and corrected control arms/track bars.

I have the Terafex FRONT QUICK DISCONNECT KIT installed. Will they still work, or do I have to use the front links included in this kit?
They will still work.

Will this kit allow for 37x13.50x22 wheel combo with a -44 wheel offset?
The minimum lift size for a Jeep Gladiator to run a 37-inch tire is generally considered to be around 3.5 inches.
3.5-inch lift is a commonly cited minimum: Multiple sources state that a 3.5-inch lift kit will provide enough clearance to run 37-inch tires on a Jeep Gladiator JT.
Possible with less lift but requires modifications: Some users have reported fitting 37s with a 2-inch lift, particularly on Rubicon models with high-clearance flares, but this often requires removing splash guards and may still result in some rubbing, especially at full steering lock or during off-road articulation.
Importance of wheel backspacing: Wheel backspacing plays a crucial role in tire clearance. The right wheel offset can help minimize rubbing.
Trimming may be necessary: Even with a 3.5-inch lift, some minor trimming of the inner fenders or splash guards might be needed to prevent rubbing, especially during off-road use.
Lift type: Both spacer lifts and full-suspension lifts can achieve the necessary height. Suspension lifts often offer better ride quality and off-road performance.
In summary, while a 3.5-inch lift is a good starting point for running 37-inch tires on a Jeep Gladiator, be prepared for the possibility of minor trimming and ensure you have wheels with appropriate backspacing. For optimal performance and minimal rubbing, especially during off-roading, some Gladiator owners opt for slightly taller lifts in the 4-inch range.
