I've been fine tuning.

I want to return to factory max tow rear springs. I ave Mopar 2 inch in front/rear now. FIgured I would try to find the AEV pucks for the just the rear but can't find anyone selling them.

What size spacer should I buy to level,,,,, just 3/4???? Recommendations for a good polyurethane?

Does anyone know which reseller might be selling the AEV 2 inch pucks in pairs??

TIA

Don't have the mopar lift or max tow but 2 inches may be too much to level. If it is level now you may have to put you max tow springs with no spacer then measure to determine how much spacer you need. Also if you can't find the AEV, the Tereflex and Daystar products may work for you.

Out of curiosity are you looking for stiffer springs?

I would like to find stiffer springs for my JTR with the mopar lift. Let me know if that is what you are going for and how it comes out. I have the smart cap on my truck and I find the mopar suspension to wallo around in the mountain roads where I live.
I can't find any straight answers if heavier shocks might help or if I need springs. Everyone want to sell me their product.

Not sure how you use your truck but if its for towing remember that a little rake is necessary so you dont end up looking like a pooping dog with a trailer attached

You might look into getting a set of Clayton Off Road rear 2.5” springs then get a spacer up front to level things more if you want. People have been very happy with the Clayton stuff.

No, trying to remove some stiffness and bouncing on flat roads in the rear.

I am not trying to leavel, but I will take it if it happens, , though the back is slight high with the mopar lift. I

am trying to smooth out the ass (rear) end ride. Done the relocation brackets and a 2.0 steering stabilizer, both helped front very very well. I want to return to factory rear springs to see if that solves the slight ride issue I have. If not, next step might be too costly, downgrade E rates BFG AT2s to perhaps a C or D?

Truck rides very well with no significant defects. I love it, even before starting this fine tuning a month ago. It's just a little too rough for my most important co-pilot. Worth a few bucks to me.

You’re going to need a different shock. Order a set of adjustable Ranchos. 9000XLs. This will address your issues. They are inexpensive and work very well depending on your load. The factory springs and a spacer won’t fix your issue.

Also, if you didn’t loosen your control arms in the rear when you installed your lift, do that and retorque them. I would try that first. If you didn’t, they will be in a bind and create a really stiff ride.
Also drop your pressure down to about 28/30. 36 is way too high for an E. That tire has plenty of load carrying for your JT at 28 psi.
