Double triangulated rear 4-link suspension bracket and skid system for the Jeep Gladiator JT designed to replace factory suspension geometry with a true linked suspension layout.

Assembly Instructions

There is a point in a Jeep Gladiator build where the factory suspension geometry stops making sense. Short control arms and a track bar become limiting factors when larger tires, heavier axles, and increased suspension travel are part of the plan. Builders pushing a Gladiator into serious rock crawling territory often reach a point where the factory rear suspension layout needs to be replaced, not just modified.

The Motobilt MB7016 Double Triangulated 4-Link Suspension Bracket and Skid System was designed to solve that problem with a true linked suspension foundation for serious builds. This system replaces the factory rear suspension layout with a double triangulated 4-link that eliminates the rear track bar and allows the suspension to cycle smoothly through travel while improving axle control and chassis packaging.

The system includes frame mounted bracketry required to build a true double triangulated rear suspension along with the structure needed to support the loads generated by aggressive off-road use. A heavy duty removable transmission crossmember supports the lower front link mounts, while a 1/4 inch thick skid plate follows the contours of the crossmember to create a smooth flush underbelly that slides over obstacles rather than hanging on brackets or hardware.

A rear frame crossmember ties the frame rails together while also serving as the rear suspension bracket mounting structure. An included engine skid protects the oil pan, transmission, and front driveline components. The transmission skid now includes a removable access panel for access to the front driveshaft yoke at the transfer case, a major advantage for driveline maintenance or trail repairs if a u-joint fails.

Designed from a builder’s perspective, this system removes the guesswork from link geometry while integrating suspension brackets, underbody protection, and structural reinforcement into one package for serious Gladiator builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a double triangulated 4-link suspension?

A double triangulated 4-link locates the axle using angled upper and lower links rather than relying on a track bar. This improves axle control and allows smoother suspension travel in high articulation environments.

Does this kit eliminate the rear track bar?

Yes. This system is designed around a true double triangulated rear suspension and does not use a rear track bar.

Can this be used with coilovers?

Yes. The system is designed to support coilover or strut suspension setups and is commonly used in advanced suspension builds.

Does this include skid protection or only suspension brackets?

This is both a suspension bracket system and an integrated skid system. It includes a flush belly skid, engine skid, removable transmission crossmember, and structural crossmember.

What is the removable driveshaft access panel for?

The transmission skid includes a removable access panel that provides access to the front driveshaft yoke at the transfer case. This makes maintenance easier and can be extremely useful for trail repairs if a front driveshaft u-joint fails.

Will this work with aftermarket transfer cases like an Atlas?

Yes. The system is designed to work with factory transfer cases as well as aftermarket options such as Atlas II and Atlas IV.
