Here is my Rubicon with the Rough Country 2 1/2” leveling kit. Fox shocks in place. Super happy with the install and the look. Ride is just like stock.

Thanks! I'm very pleased with the ride and noise level of the Ridge Grapplers.
I think I need some step rails just to catch some of the road debris since the tire protrude a little over an inch.

My Max Tow measured 1.5" higher in the rear, when measured from center of hub to lip of fender. So I did a 0.75" spacer in the front to take out half the rake, but leave the other half for towing and hauling.

What kit did you go with and did you need to get an alignment?

I'm using Daystar this time. I like the poly spacers better than the steel ones.

I ended up revamping mine a little. I'm now running the 2.0" front/0.75" rear spacers because I'm about to install a heavy winch on the front.

On the JT, the only thing you can change about the alignment is the toe. That can be checked in the driveway at home. No sense in spending $75 at a shop.

Does Daystar offer both the 2 inch front and .75 rear in the same kit? Does it make it sit level or close? Asking because I'd want close to level or a tiny bit of rake ....thank you and great videos btw

My Daystar 2” kit arrived with .75” rear spacers, but a 1.5” set arrived a couple of days later. I’m not sure what they will have going forward. I wouldn’t think they would send 2 sets with every kit they sell.
