I like the look. Pretty level. I don't tow any serious weight so I'm good with it. Just an 8x10 mesh trailer with my four wheeler on it or some lumber @Canam

I'm curious why the leveling kits are so popular. I could see if it was an SUV but a truck is supposed to be used to carry weight and as far as I know was the rationale behind FCA giving the Gladiator some rake.

I've seen trucks with the nose up sag in the back look but I was never a fan. I'm not sure why people do it. Not trying to say if that's what you want, but just trying to understand.

I put a set of Rubicon take off springs on the front, 340 and 343 as well as the shocks F and R, springs raised the front a little over 1”, I added Daystar 1.5” front and .75” rear spacers, Mopar LCAs, Daystar lower spring correction pads, and Rubicon Express shock extensions. I am running 285/75/17s, it is a good setup for my use, just waiting for my Fox TS steering stabilizer to come in then I will be done.

Looks good! I am hoping for s little lift out of the rubicon springs and shocks. I think I'm going with a 1 inch spacer in the front so I keep a bit of rake, thanks for the pic.

Did you order the long control arms from the 2 inch lift kit?

Has anyone noticed their front tires sound louder since installing leveling kit?? Wondering if longer conrol arms would help that or what psi you guys are running your tires at?

I see some guys riding around, nose up and back down. Reminds me of a toddler running around with a full saggy diaper. I prefer the factory rake look over the saggy diaper look.

I am of exactly the same mind as you. I like rake. I like rake when it's sititng empty and really like rake when I have a lot of weight in the back and my truck doesn't sag in the rear. I don't get it but to each his own.
