Ass end higher than front end after lift?!

[22EcoDs]

3.5 inch spacer lift? I can't be the only one that thought Yikes. You might be happier with actual coils. Clayton just came out with diesel specific coils too. 1.5 isn't bad if you use it like a truck but can understand dd rake being annoying. Could also swap rear spacers for shorter ones.

Why don’t you run 37’s in front and 35’s in the rear. Should level it out just right.

No lift here, but I put a Teraflex 1.5'' leveling kit on mine and I really like it.

Rake is standard on all vehicles. trucks more than others. It is supposed to be like that.

Oh NOOOOOOOOO, its got "THE RAKE". (SORRY)

You might find that running with the "Carolina Squat" ... your handling might be less than desirable

I really hope you’re trolling

I put a metal cloak gamechanger in my 2020 gladiator and absolutely hated the level look and then when you put a trailer on the back or all my gear in the back it squated so I bought a set of clayton overland springs for the rear to get my rake back. your lift looks great!

Ok, question:

What's you desired stance?
Level? Slight rake?
They all do run higher in the rear as mentioned. Compensate for when you have weight in the bed or tow.

Intended use of your JT?

Also the rake is more noticeable on non-Rubicons and non-Mojaves because the front fender is lower by default.

Note the hood line...

 

[endurojeep]

I do believe the rear fenders are raised on a rubicon and mojave as well.

Bought an EcoDiesel last month and had it lifted with the 3.5 Rough country suspension lift but I absolutely hate the stance of the truck I feel like the ass end is up in the air. Looks like your slamming on the breaks the whole time with the way the nose is down. I don’t want to stack lifts and add anything else up front I think it will make the ride unbearable. Has anyone else ran into this ?

Knew I shoulda went RC!

I was just waiting to see how long it would take for someone to bring up the obvious. My statement was…well…as ignorant as spending 50-60k on something and worsening it’s capabilities. It’s a truck. Made to “carry and tow” stuff. Add stuff and it settles the rear end down. If people didn’t want this they should have gone with a JL where it’s more nimble off road. Folks like the better driving characteristics of the longer wheelbase, then lower the rear or raise the front. I’ll leave the specifics to the more technically inclined, but dialing in caster while maintaining proper pinion angle is thrown out the window if you add stuff to the bed and it looks like you overloaded it by a ton. Next they’ll start saying that they have no on center feel or their steering is crap. Rant off. It’s kinda like seeing somebody wears their pants where the belt line is below their butt. You kind of say to yourself don’t they know what they’re advertising?

…and yes…you’d grenade your transfer case in short order. But that’s not important if it looks good in the eyes of the beholder.

2.5 inch game changer with 34’ inch tire on my Willy’s, seems high but after all when I load the crap out of it there is no issues! Towing, camping, DD all hood! Take is good if you plan to off road the beast especially if you got lots of crap in the back!!
