Beautiful truck.
Why does that look like the front is taller?
Granted at first I thought angle of picture and so on, but it looks like the front is taller.
I don’t understand why people get rid of the rake.
I get it. They don’t ever actually DO ANYTHING with their truck...
So they want it to LOOK level.
But then you get a 3K trailer and cry because your headlights are illuminating the treetops.

Duh...

Still a beautiful truck. 😊

Thanks bro!! I went back and forth between tires, lifts, leveling kits, wheel offset all the options and ended up landing on the mopar 2” kit with a 1.5”level up front and put 35x12.5x17 kenda klever rt under it and the wheels are method 703 bead grip technology 0mm offset. I had it all done at the dealership (for the whole warranty thing) and they didn’t specify the level 😐.

Mopar Beadlocks with candy orange powder coat rings.
My Wife would give me an avalanche of shit about being too matchy matchy if I copied this look, but damn I like it!

Two things, Rubicon fenders and it’s parked on a slope. It sat perfectly level without the 3/4” rear spacer but appeared to be high in the front because of the fenders. The spacer puts it right where I like it.
To your point, it’s not a daily work truck with crap in it all the time so the bed is mostly empty and it only tows a small fishing boat. Bought the Gladiator because I’ve had tj and jk for the past 20 years and wanted something different. To each their own. I like a truck more leveled out. Especially one that is used off-road more than as a truck. Thanks for the compliment.

Finally sourced a Rubicon hood after months. White? Check. 5 minutes from work to pick up? Check.
Installed earlier, removed decals, and swapped the hood vents to the Valkyrie open vents.

I've never heard anyone with a leveled truck cry about their headlights illuminating the treetops. It is also still possible to put things in your bed with a leveled truck.
That is all. That and the white is a good look.

They probably don’t cry about it...

But you sure get sick of the oncoming cars that feel the need to bright you. I don’t need my brights on at at. And I don’t have LED lights. But having two hundred pounds of softener salt by the tailgate this winter for a little extra 2wd traction was enough to get the hall monitors flipping their brights constantly.
Just my observation.
Of course white is a good look. 😊

Not disagreeing. But whether the truck is leveled or not (headlights should be adjusted accordingly for sure), load in the back of the truck is going to increase the headlight angle for a given adjustment.

Indeed.
However I’ve never met one person who re aims their headlights every time they load their truck and then unload their truck.
Maybe I’ve been too sheltered. 😁

Yep exactly. That will happen regardless of the truck being leveled.
