We just had the 2” mopar lift installed on our overland. I feel like it actually handles better driving down the road, that being said, I was hoping it would also have a leveled look, it dosnt, still rakes to the front about the same as it did stock. Does anyone know if I can now add a leveling kit with the complete mopar lift kit, without screwing up the drivability but getting front level with back?

A guy on youtube has his JL on 37s with 2" Mopar lift. He went with less backspace via greater offset which probably prevented rubbing at full turn. At full articulation, he only had minor rubbing that was fixed with heat gun to remold some plastic. Here are his wheel specs ...
Wheel Size: 17x9
Bolt Pattern: 5 on 5
Offset: -38mm
Backspace: 3.5"

I was wondering the same thing. I'm considering a 1/2" spacer in front. That makes the front a 2.5"lift. My JL has a 2.5" spacer lift, and I didn't need to add any extra geometry correction components. From what I've read, 3" and up will require geometry correction, but below is okay as is.

Everything considered, I'm going to wait and see what the rake looks like after I actually have my Gladiator, lift it, put 37s on it, and mount items such as a bed rack and winch. I'd hate to remove the rake with spacers, only to have a saggy rear end after other mods.

37” tires on stock wheels. No rubbing while steering lock to lock.

Looks great. I was looking at wheels but may just roll with the stock ones. Do we have all the specs on the factory wheel? I know they are 17" but are they 7.5" wide? 8.5"?

Wow!!! I wasn't considering it but the Mopar 2" kit looks plenty for the 37s.
This one here does look god with te 37 but all of them do with 37s. I can imagine how much this one was here with 37s anyone know what they were asking for this one here ? I will guess with lift and 37s around 75,000 am i close or more ?

I don't see myself lowering the windshield either. Top & doors off are all I need. But, I've watched a video where they strapped the windshield down (I think a TFL on the Rubicon trail). The hood bumpers for the windshield also serve as strap anchors.
