Updated, same lift with 37s and 18" Fuel Rebel 5 wheels

Also, wanted to ask, a couple of shops I spoke with do not recommend adding a 3/4 or 1" spacer up front citing that the shocks aren't set up for that extra length. 3/4 or 1" spacer doesn't seem like it would put any additional strain on the Fox shocks to me, but I'm not a professional suspension shop.
I read here and other threads about people adding the spacer up front to level. Can those of you that have the additional spacer on the Mopar lift let me (us) know has it changed anything with handling, alignment, etc.? Did any of the shops you used recommend against it?

How much of a spacer would you use?

Here’s mine. 35” KOs.

Nice ride. Do you have a leveling spacer in the front?

Got my leaky axle fixed and my 2 inch mopar lift put on this week. Tires are KO2 285 70r17. I'm extremely happy with the look and ride.

Nice looking ride. Any front spacer, or just as is?

Been a while, so I’ll toss a recent one in.


2021 JTRD, Mopar 2” lift, no level kit, with 37x12.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss. Lots of trails and backwoods camping, climbed a few rocks, pulled through mud and sand, and racked up more than 80k highways miles. Suspension has been great through it all.

have you noticed any sag in the rear with it loaded up? I’m picking up a new Rubicon this Friday and the only fear I have with this kit is the bed sagging from rack, rtt and awning

It drops, but for me it just shifts from having a positive rake to being level. Still wheels like a champ, and I often run fully loaded for overlanding.

Anyone in the So Cal area want a set of Mopar 2 inch springs, just come get them. I just replaced mine with Synergy ones.

Thank you Sir, very happy with how it turned out.

Nice Gladiator. Did the same with my 2023 Sport. Mopar 2 inch w/fox shocks is a good kit, I added JKS front adjustable track bar, 1 inch carrier bearing drop down kit, and Fox front steering stabilizer.
Safe travels....
