Nice. No rubbing or vibrations?
No rubbing, vibrations or anything even slightly irritating to report. Honestly drives better than stock. 100% satisfied.

This is just with the 2” lift kit? Anything else?
2" Mopar Lift, 37" Nitto Ridge Grapplers, 17" XD Wheels

Thats it as far as suspension!

And how does it feel? You like it?
I love it. I have the same steering sloppiness that has been reported by many, but I had that long before the lift and tires! I'm used to it by now, however I did just purchase a synergy sector shaft brace and I'm hoping that will help.

Mine has a decent dead zone as well. Can definitely feel it when it's windy. I did upgrade to the Fox stabilizer but the stab just masks the issue, doesn't actually fix anything. There are youtube vids showing the steering box flexing on some JTs. I would turn your wheel back and forth and see if that is the culprit. Mine does not flex and the bolts are torques to spec so in my case I don't think the synergy bracket would help mine.

Is this happening when you go with the 2 inch lift? Or all gladiators? Sorry I am new at this. I have the steering problem on my rubicon stock, but have a couple of friends that say it goes away 100% with the steering stabilizer

There are a lot of topics on the steering issues, all various issues people are experiencing from small to large dead zones, gear box flexing, wandering, etc. A steering stabilizer does not fix those issue but masks the real underlying issue. I upgraded mine to a Fox and it did nothing for my wandering. I do feel the Mopar lift did help it out some though. Maybe loosening and re-torquing all the the control arms helped it.

I personally wouldn't spend $350 on a steering stab but many do, again that does not fix the underlying issue with the steering.

Would you guys say the 2 inch lift kit from Mopar is a more comfortable ride than the Rubicon stock lift?
