Hello All,
I have a 3.5 inch suspension lift on my 2022 Gladiator. It lifted and leveled the truck. It looks great and I’m very happy with it. My question is can I put a 3/4 rear spacer lift in to add a little rake. I want to add a decked drawer system and the rear will sag with that extra 200 pounds.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes. I have a 2” with .75 spacer in the rear to make up for the same. The pad sits on the bottom under the spring ?? https://a.co/d/3wtWRUC has been in use for 2 years no issues.

...assuming your current lift is NOT a spacer lift (springs) then for sure. I ran 3/4" rear spacers on a Rancho spring lift on a JK for years.

As long as your shocks are rated for a certain lift height range you should be good

as others stated it'll work just fine. I just have a recommendation. If your kit didn't come with one, i advise a carrier bearing spacer drop for the main drive shaft. 2in is about the max recommended lift before you should get one. Its just to keep required angles in a safe range.

Thank you for the advice. I have a Rock Jock spacer installed.
