Ok. One more, trying to figure out if my spacer leveling kit is considered a lift. It's the RC 2.5 kit. Bilstein has a few different front shocks. Notably one for 0-1.5" lifts and one for 1.5-2.5. Chatting with someone on Extreme Terrains site but so far they haven't answered. Here's the two in question:

Bilstein Jeep Gladiator B8 5100 Series Front Shock for 0 to 1.50-Inch Lift 33-304847 (20-25 Jeep Gladiator JT) - Free Shipping

Bilstein Jeep Gladiator B8 5100 Series Rear Shock for for 1.50 to 2.50-Inch Lift 33-305288 (20-25 Jeep Gladiator JT) - Free Shipping

You want the 1.5-2" shocks. Same with the rear if you lifted that also by the same amount. If you did not touch the rear and was only a front level kit installed, then you want the 0-1" for the rear,

Edit - If the RC kit also had shock mount spacer for the factory shocks, you want to take those out.

If you want to keep the shock extensions, then yes you can put on the 0-1.5" shocks.

FYI, I am bowing out as this is really too much spoon feeding you on this.

I apologize for the questions. I thought that's what this was for. Thanks for all your help though.

Yeah, not trying to be an ass with the last comment. Just that there was some basic assumptions I thought your knowledge level was at as this conversation has been piece meal at best.

I do not want to be liable for giving bad advice if the questions being made were not fully understood.
