Overview:

The Fabtech 5-inch Gas Crawler Long Arm Suspension Kit with Stealth is engineered specifically for the 2020 Jeep Gladiator, designed to deliver superior off-road capability without compromising on-road comfort. Built for serious enthusiasts who demand a reliable, high-performance suspension system, this kit eliminates the need for ongoing fabrication or maintenance. It offers a perfect balance of rugged durability and refined handling, making it ideal for drivers who want a ready-to-install, durable lift solution that enhances both ground clearance and suspension geometry.

Fabtech’s Crawler kit focuses on optimized link arm geometry to provide exceptional handling throughout the suspension travel range. This system is tailored to the Gladiator’s chassis, ensuring superior control and stability whether on challenging trails or highway cruising.

Key Features:

This comprehensive long arm suspension kit includes several advanced features designed to improve off-road performance and vehicle durability:

• Front and rear upper and lower link arms constructed from 2-inch OD, .313-inch thick wall tubing for maximum strength and resistance to bending.
• Full-width front crossmember that mounts link arms with precise geometry and reinforces the Gladiator frame for heavy off-road use.
• Fabtech’s legendary 5 Ton joints with a lifetime guarantee, providing smooth, quiet operation on-road and exceptional durability off-road.
• Heavy-duty flipped draglink and front and rear track bar brackets for improved steering response and stability.
• Corner-specific dual-rate coil springs front and rear to maintain ride quality and articulation.
• Front shock mount bracket and bump stop extensions to accommodate increased suspension travel.
• Adjustable rear links that utilize factory frame and axle brackets for straightforward installation.
• Compatibility with tire sizes up to 40x12.5R20 with appropriate fender modifications.

Construction & Design:

Fabtech’s Gas Crawler suspension kit is built with heavy-duty materials and precision engineering to withstand the rigors of off-road driving. The massive lower link arms are fabricated from thick-walled steel tubing, ensuring they will not bend under extreme conditions. The front crossmember not only positions the link arms at the ideal geometry but also adds critical structural reinforcement to the Gladiator’s frame rails, enhancing chassis rigidity.

Each component is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Gladiator’s factory mounting points, minimizing the need for custom fabrication. The use of Fabtech’s 5 Ton joints guarantees long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance, while the dual-rate coil springs provide a balanced ride that adapts to both off-road obstacles and highway speeds.

Installation & Fitment:

This kit fits 2020 Jeep Gladiator models equipped with 6-cylinder engines, including Launch Edition, Overland, Rubicon, and Sport trims. Installation requires welding and some exhaust modifications or the use of an optional aFe loop delete pipe (P/N 48-48024). Heavy off-road use on 4-door models may also necessitate upgraded driveshafts (front FTS94057, rear FTS94068).

Minor trimming or cutting of fenders is required depending on tire and wheel size, especially when running larger 40-inch tires with high clearance fenders. Fabtech provides detailed instructions to ensure proper fitment and alignment.
