Personally recommend not doing the gladiator (for now). Motor dependability it hit or miss, especially offroading. And dealers don't want to work with u after modding. I'm waiting to jump on taco bandwagon when trailhunter drops, especially if I land this job with toyota
Given how the oe rock raises are installed, shouldn't be too difficult for aftermarket to produce. Would love to get one from rockslide engineering like they have for gladiator, wit an off switch so it doesn't lower when offroading. Wouldn't mind an aries one either, if they can keep it flush...
