MaxTrac K949942E Gladiator 4.5" Lift Kit w/Shock Extenders

Build a 4.5" Lifted Gladiator While Retaining Your Shocks

Give your 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator (non-Mojave) substantially more suspension height and room for larger tires with the MaxTrac K949942E 4.5" Lift Kit. This complete suspension package combines front and rear lift coils, front and rear bump stop extensions, a front track bar, rear sway bar end links, and front/rear shock extenders into one matched system.
Providing 4.5" of front lift and 2.5" of rear lift, the K949942E creates an aggressive lifted stance while the included shock extenders eliminate the need for replacement shocks as part of this package. With the correct wheel configuration, MaxTrac specifies clearance for tires up to 37" × 12.50".

Key Features

4.5" Front / 2.5" Rear Suspension Lift

Provides 4.5 inches of front lift and 2.5 inches of rear lift, increasing ground clearance and creating a taller, more aggressive Gladiator stance.

Front & Rear Lift Coil Springs

Matched front and rear coil springs provide the primary suspension height increase rather than relying on simple coil spacer lifts.

Front & Rear Shock Extenders

The kit comes with shock extenders instead of replacement shocks, allowing the compatible existing shock configuration to be used with the increased suspension height.

Front Track Bar Included

An included front track bar supports the lifted front suspension configuration and eliminates the need to source this major component separately.

Extended Rear Sway Bar End Links

The supplied rear sway bar end links accommodate the increased rear suspension height as part of the complete lift package.

Front & Rear Bump Stop Extensions

Application-specific bump stop extensions for both axles help accommodate the altered suspension height and travel.

Clears Up to 37" × 12.50" Tires

With proper wheel fitment, the K949942E clears tires up to 37" × 12.50" on 8"-9" wide rims. Fender trimming may be required.
