Feels like I’m taking crazy pills… help? Would you still level it based on these photos?

I recently purchased and put on 37” Yokohamas on my stock Rubicon wheels.

At the same time I purchased a Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit, because with the stock tires there was definitely a difference between the front and rear fender heights.

Now that I have 37s on, it really doesn’t look like I need the leveling kit? I measured in a few places near my house in order to have the car as level as possible, and the front is maybe 1/4” lower.

Would you still level it based on these photos?

Camera angles are tricking you here. if you look at both photos you can see in the background, in the second photo, the angle of the building pillar is different than the first photo. In the second photo, the pillar of the building is leaning to the right further than in the first photo. This indicates that in your second picture, your camera body (or phone) is physically tilted to the left, making it appear that your truck is sitting level.

the best way to avoid this is us a small level to make sure your camera (phone) is physically level. angles can easily create illusions.

You can also look at the light pole to see the angle differences as well. if you want I can take your photos, put them in light room and level them out. let me know. I'm sure your rake is the exact same.

Here, I just fixed it for you.

You're still at an angle to the Jeep from pic 1 and 2, and I can't correct that, but rake looks pretty on point to me

It's never going to be perfect. If it looks good to your eye, stop there. Even your own ass will affect the ride height.

Still looks like it is down in the front a little to me I'd level it for sure might come in handy off road when you down in the front with the 37's

There’s definitely rubbing. I’m actually surprised because there are tons of threads on here with people running 37s that say that with everything else being stock there’s no rubbing at all. I find that really hard to believe. Maybe 37x11.5 or 37x10.5.

Most of the rubbing has gone away after I added some washers to the steering knuckle bolt. But there still a tiny bit on the frame rail when I go full turn and up a steep driveway. I think a mild spacer would solve that issue. I just don’t want to go with a big lift because my truck is my daily driver and my wife and girls are short.

I just recently installed 37’s on mine with no lift. No rubbing at all. I have flexed a little here and there and tested at full lock and have no rubbing. I haven’t tested with sway bar disconnected yet. It may be because these are Ko2’s which the specs say are 36.5”. Or it may be because I have +25mm offset wheels. I do plan on getting a lift, but I just wanted to test without a lift for a little while.

No.

Lo

Looks level the way it is. I wouldn't add anything that wasn't needed if it was mine.

 

[Dog Dad]

I would just leave it
