2021 max tow sport, love truck.understand purpose of rake but my Gladys has extreme amount of it. 2.5 plus. Don't want to completely eliminate but do want to reduce some. Tow ,haul and use truck as truck. One minute I think want 1.5 leveling kit on front next I'm back to one inch kit. Recommendations, thought, opinions.what to do?

Get a teraflex spacer kit and use the 1 inch spacer. If you want more add the .5 inch spacer

4 inch lift 37s

Check!

In all seriousness, you’re probably gonna want to go 1.5 if you have 2.5 rake as is. I started with a 2.5” level and it was dead nuts level, so 1.5 should give you an inch of rake.

I agree 4inch and 37 if u visit Pennsylvania I will let u drive mine to test it out it actually feels like a truck now.

This is the way.

1.5in up front with either nothing or the 3/4in daystar rear.

that was my original lift when I got the gladiator and honestly was fantastic looking. I had just a little bit of break with it and it didn’t require any additional steering components to correct geometry.

if you’re only looking to be a little more level, then just shoot for the 1 inch front spacer. Thankfully they’re in expensive enough that you can give that a try and if after a while you really still don’t like it you could pick up a 1.5 inch also cheap.

If you are going to tow alot then the rake has a purpose. I wouldnt mess with it unless your tow weight is well below the maximum tow capacity.

Agree. Wanting to tow, attach first and see where that leaves you. It does have a purpose. Also, if towing, be real careful about largers lifts and tires. That can have negative effect also. We are towing so I have left my Sport S Max Tow stock to take advantage of factory design and payload.

this is 100% phenomena device.

if I could go back in time, I would’ve left it completely stock

If you intend it really tow and tow often and heavy, the rake is absolutely necessary. Any lift (especially spring lifts) and larger tires were negatively impact your tow capacity.

Understand the purpose of rake, don't want to get rid of all. My gladiator sport has a generous portion 2.5 inches plus.thinking about one inch spacer to reduce just a touch. Thanks

Mine is stock now, I tow boat, small camper,and a 14 ft work tool trailer. It's the heavy. With it attached still have 1.5 inch rake measured at pinch welds. Thinking one inch spacer on front. Also no larger than 265/70/17 tires . Thanks!

Do the 1.5” in front and 3/4” in the rear.

Sweet spot to keep some rake for truck stuff but levels out and lifts some.

Sorry to hijack but I'm looking to do same TeraFlex level. I've read a lot of posts that say to also do an adjustable track bar to get axle centered and either relocation brackets or longer LCA to correct geometry. Thoughts on these extras?
