I have a 21 JTRD with the Mopar lift and don't like how the front end sits lower than the rear. Will a 1" spacer level it out?

I have the same lift. It took 1.5 spacer to level mine out. I have the diesel so that extra weight may have been my issue that took the 1.5 to level mine.

Measure to the bottom of the rockers front and rear and see how much rake you have.

I’d just measure on yours because of all the variables.

You could get a visual if you have a flat spot and a tall enough jack. And some careful measuring to simulate spacer height.

1.5in is what is usually used.

that being said id keep just a hint of rake. The second you start to drive “level” Jts look like a pooping dog going down the road. Also if you ever use your truck like a truck youll be doing the squats the whole ride.

This is good to know. Did you notice any change in ride quality when you added the TF spacer kit?

Unfortunately my driveway has slight incline and pitch so find a flat spot next time I'm out and pull measurements. However, I did measure the the front and rear of the rubi rails in the driveway and the rear was around 1.5" higher. I just didn't trust the numbers due to my driveway not being flat.

Seems like 1" might keep a slight rake to allow for some payload without the squat look. Its not much but I don't usually load up the bed so it would be fine for me.
