Just a reminder that the factory rake is engineered into these pickup trucks so that you can haul and tow. If you level the truck while it's empty, then the nose will stick up when you haul or tow. This will throw off the rear brake proportioning and could make the handling change.

On my JLU, I am running the Rough Country kit and I ended up having to add additional spacers to the rear because the kit made the front sit higher than the rear even without a trailer.

If I get a Gladiator, I'll wait until a full lift kit is available.

The 2.5in kit will work on the Rubicon also

What size tires and wheels are these ? Any idea on offset and width as well for us to understand what looks good in our minds ?

I actually didn't even notice the rear sticking up until I saw these before and after photos.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of installing just a 2.5" lift in the front only? Not changing wheels or tires.

Would it be possible for you to post pictures of a JT Rubicon with stock tires and rims before the lift and again after the lift with the same stock tires and rims so we can see the change in stance, height and clearance?

Every photo I've seen with this kit have aftermarket wheels. I too wanna see stock car before, then an after photo with same stock wheels and tires.

Vehicles have rake for improved aerodynamics which in turn aid in better fuel economy. Doubtful that FCA cares what their vehicles look like when towing more so than the fuel economy numbers.

So, I can't speak of any advantages of a level, other than personal appearance preference.
Even though this will be my first JEEP, it'll be my 10th (dear lord that's a stupid-high number) pickup.
This will be the 5th one I've leveled, I just prefer the level appearance.

NOW, this does NOT equate to a Carolina Lean, cause dat shit just stuuuupid…

The lean fad is one of the things I hate the most haha.
