Awesome! Can you post photos?

Will do. I updated my results. After driving several hundred miles over the weekend, I did lose 1/4" in the front due to the suspension settling, but I'm still very pleased.

I plan on putting 1.5 TF spacer and 0.75 spacer on the rear of my JT - I'd like to also swap out to Rubicon springs as well, are there other needed parts? Do you need to replace the stock shocks or can I do that at a later date?

Nope. Stock shocks will be fine. I did the same thing and the only other thing I added was the Mopar longer LCAs from the Mopar 2" lift kit. They are cheap and honestly my Gladiator rides better than stock now.

put the springs, spacers, mopar lift lower control arms. Replace shocks when you’re ready; price point option here being bilstein 5100s

That's the correct p/n.

Has anyone replaced their stock shocks while running this setup? I'm wondering if you purchase shocks for a two inch lift or shocks made for a stock lift.

The shocks I used came off a stock Rubicon. They are not made for the 2" lift.

If all you have is spacers to level or even slightly raise the vehicles ride height with no added bumpstop extensions you would generally be best off with shocks for stock height. If you have bumpstop extensions you can and should run longer shocks to take advantage of that.

The TeraFlex leveling kit includes front bumpstop extensions, but that is for if you are running larger tires and need the extensions to prevent the larger tires from rubbing. I would not expect most to run the bumpstop extensions, and if you aren't running the bumpstop extensions you need shocks for 0" of lift. Usually labeled as 0" - 2" of lift. Running shocks that are longer compressed requires running bumpstop extensions to stop the shocks from being what stops suspension uptravel.

Thanks for the thorough reply! I will eventually be running 35s with this setup. My goal is to run 35s with the least amount of lift on my Sport. I plan on splitting the fenders to create even more room for the 35s.
