1.5" Teraflex leveling kit and alignment?

[BaneKotaKeena]

FYI, your axle will shift slightly. Even with that small of a lift. I did the same leveling kit on my previous JTW and the axle shifted by 1/2 inch to the passenger side (if I recall correctly). An adjustable track bar fixes that. On my current JTR, once I level I, I will go with a double adjustable track bar. That way you don't have to undo one end to fine tune it. Something like this. https://www.extremeterrain.com/redr...ble-adjustable-front-panhard-bar-j157926.html

Just finished my install yesterday. Axle did shift to the drivers side about 1/2" for me. The search for an adjustable trackbar begins.

As luck would have it I happen to have a Rubicon Express adjustable track bar that I had bought for my JK but never put it on. I did check to ensure that it will work with the Gladiator and they are the same part numbers, so I have that covered.

I have a 21 willys sport. I added springs and shocks from a 22 or 23 Rubicon that had about 500 miles on them. I also added the 1.5" leveling kit in the front, ..75" spacer in the rear, and Mopar longer LCAs up front. No alignment or recentering of the steering wheel at all needed. Rides better than stock.

Oddly enough I expected my steering wheel to be off center as well. I installed the Terraflex 1.5 spacers on my 2023 Gladiator Max Tow three days ago. Upon driving after the steering wheel was still centered, it drove without pulling in either direction and no drift on interstate while hands off the wheel. Is that an oddity or did I just get lucky?

I have 315/70r17 Goodyear MT's ( measured 34.4 ). I measured in the center of the hub at the line on the Max Tow ( on the black part ). Before on front was like 38 1/4 and after was right at 40". Rear was like 40 1/2 and stayed that way. So I only have about 1/2" of take on a full tank of fuel. I like a little more take so I will be installing the Daystar 3/4" rear spacers that I already have.

The front seems a bit stiffer and I actually like it better. I am guessing that less take ( less weight leaning towards the front) spring free height being less ( slightly increased spring rate via compression). Does that make since?

Lastly I had Rubicon springs but elected to stick with the Max Tow springs, as I felt that they were engineered for this application together so I felt that it would retain the balance that I like. Out of the three that I have owned the Max Tow is the best overall for my driving style and needs.

Oh, it looks much better as well!

I have been considering the 1.5" Teraflex leveling kit for some time now. For those of you who have installed it, are you adding the full 1.5" kit, or just the 1" spacer? I'd like to get closer to 'level' but don't want to be nose high. For reference, I have Rubicon w/ Diesel.

Thanks

I have a winch up front plus the steel bumper so I elected to install the full height. It still has some rake which I like buy not as much as before.

I also installed the full 1.5" kit, and I have a Rubicon Diesel. No added accessories on the front or anywhere else. Stock plastic bumper. It definitely still has a light rake. It went below level when I hooked up my 21' Wakesetter so I installed a 3/4" rear spacer as well.

Did same for similar reason. Have steel front bumper but no winch yet.

I just measured the rock rails before the rear flare and after the front flare, there was just a hair more than 1 3/4" difference from front to back. I do have a winch and stock steel bumper but winch has synthetic line. I will put on the full kit.
