If you level, any weight in the rear can cause a sag, unless you add air bags. 1.5 will usually level the front end. You'll have to readjust your headlights.

I just installed the 1.5" Daystar spacers on mine. I like the daystar because it is just a taller spring isolater. Mine is an Overland, so I also replaced the springs with 2024 Rubicon X springs. To keep it from looking nose high I also added the 3/4" daystar rear spacer. The combination of spacers and rubicon springs lifted it 2 3/4" in the front and 1 1/2" in the back. Looks good, rides good.

1.5" should level it. I've seen 2.5" front without any rear lift and that end up with negative rake. Also, the 1.5" leveler leaves more suspension travel for you versus the larger pucks using stock shocks, etc. Here is a photo of my Sport after the installing a Teraflex 1.5" kit, with my stock tires. (I've since replaced the shoes with 35" tires. Looks great with those, but I shared this because it looks like your tires are closer to what I had before.)

I started with a 2.5” spacer and it was dead level. I purchased some 3/4” daystar spacers for the rear but never used them. Any weight in the rear would have created a reverse rake. To me the 1.5” up front wouldn’t have been enough.

When towing my Mojave sags with only 300lbs on the hitch to where my low beams cause oncoming drivers to flash me. I installed Air lift 1000 bags, and they allow me to keep my soft ride when not towing and bring the truck to level with 15 psi in them when towing. The bags give me flexibility at low cost, if you install them yourself. $120to $130 depending on where you buy them. If I wear them out, I will buy again.

I did the Teraflex 1.5" kit to level my '23 Willys, which looked like a stink bug at stock ride height. I didn't care for the effect it had on driving dynamics, wandering etc, so I added the longer lower control arms from the Mopar 2" lift kit and Teraflex 2" shock extensions. The combination makes it very stable on highway and maintains the stock ride quality. I rarely haul much in the way of weight nor do I tow regularly.

My truck is level with a 1.5" Teraflex leveling kit. 2.5" would be too much if you use your truck at all and ever have weight in the bed.

Here is a pic of my Overland with 2024 Rubicon X springs and shocks, 1.5" Daystar front, .75" Daystar rear. Still maintains a slight forward rake. 2.5 in the front is just to much to be a "level" kit.
BTW, the factory rear Rubicon springs are some really nice progreesive rate springs. Compared to my original Overlands, they are a great upgrade.

My Willys went perfectly level with the 1.5" teraflex spacers I put up front. I've since added firestone bags in the rear and run with them at 5psi. Still sits level and I can boost up the rear end if I need to haul something with some weight. It also rides more like a 'truck' IMO, it was pretty squishy before.
