Key Features:

Fabtech’s 5-inch Gas Crawler kit incorporates advanced engineering and premium components to elevate your Gladiator’s suspension performance:

• Precision Link Arm Geometry optimized for superior handling throughout suspension travel
• Full-width front crossmember that mounts link arms at ideal angles and reinforces the frame
• Massive 2-inch OD, .313 wall thickness lower link arms designed to resist bending under heavy loads
• Fabtech’s legendary 5 Ton joints with lifetime guarantee for durability and smooth operation
• Adjustable rear link arms utilizing factory frame and axle brackets for straightforward installation
• Heavy-duty flipped draglink for improved steering geometry and clearance
• Front and rear corner-specific dual rate coil springs for balanced ride quality and articulation
• Front and rear sway bar links and bump stop extensions to maintain suspension geometry and prevent damage
• Front shock mount bracket engineered for optimal shock positioning

Construction & Design:

Fabtech’s Crawler kit is built with rugged, high-strength materials to withstand the rigors of off-road use. The lower link arms are constructed from thick-walled 2-inch tubing, ensuring they remain straight and strong under extreme conditions. The full-width front crossmember not only secures the link arms at the correct geometry but also adds critical reinforcement to the Gladiator’s frame, enhancing durability during aggressive trail driving.

All joints are Fabtech’s proprietary 5 Ton units, renowned for their longevity and quiet street performance. The combination of heavy-duty components and precise engineering results in a suspension system that excels in both off-road articulation and on-road comfort.

Installation & Fitment:

This kit is designed for 2020 Jeep Gladiator models equipped with the 3.6L V6 engine, including Launch Edition, Overland, Rubicon, and Sport trims. Installation requires welding, and some exhaust modifications are necessary unless paired with the AFE loop delete pipe (P/N 48-48024). Heavy off-road use on 4-door models may also require upgraded driveshafts (front FTS94057, rear FTS94068).

Minor trimming or cutting of fenders may be required depending on tire and wheel size, especially when running larger tires up to 40-inch diameter with high clearance fenders. This kit supports tire sizes up to 40x12.5R20 with appropriate wheel offsets and fender modifications.
