Gladiators on Mopar 2" Lift Kit

Looks awesome! Im about to do that same thing - MOPAR and daystar level. How much rake did you end up with 1" front pucks? I was thinking about going with the 1" daystar pucks but Im also adding a winch and bumper +/- 160 lbs. Was wondering if I should add the .5 puck as well and run the 1.5" on the front. I dont tow much like I used too and wouldn't mind a little rake but was wondering what your thoughts would be. Stock is way too much rake for me.

With the extra weight I’d do the 1.5”.
Mine still has a slight rake which I like at 1”.
Here’s a little better side photo on level ground.

Hi Guys- Im new to the forum and considering the Mopar lift for my new Gladiator Rubicon. It seems that some folks run the Mopar kit right out of the box without any additional parts while others add things an adjustable track bar. Is there any "right" answer here? Or is it more personal preference?

Any rubbing issues? getting ready to install this lift and these wheels on 37's.

The wheels are 17” - Teraflex Nomad 17x8.5 with 0 offset and 4.75” of back spacing, 5x5 hub centric.

I really like that look. I'm considering going with 37" tires on the same Nomads.

2020 JTR on the 2" Mopar Lift, 17 X 9 Fuel Torque wheels and Toyo 35/12.5/17 Open County M/T tires. Still need to install the Synergy adjustable track bar and Fox 2.0 TS Steering Stabilizer. Surprisingly, this set up rides better than stock. The JT is a long way from the lifted Jeeps I have had in the past. Really impressed with this rig.

On another note, if you are in or around Raleigh, NC, Wyatt at Jack Your Jeep (Westgate Jeep's Custom Shop) is an outstanding resource. Bought my entire front bumper set up from him and it was less than most online pricing for the PS Bruiser and skid. Then made me the deal of the century on the wheels and tires. Had the set already mounted up and another customer ended up not taking them. Offered them up at $2,100 and then gave me a credit of $1,200 for my Rubi take-offs. How could I say no? Great folks that know Jeeps and wheel hard. Definitely one of the good guys out there.

Looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been debating on whether to pair black wheels with my black JTR, and your post is very convincing.

what rack is this? Usually with that rack in the back I haven’t seen space for MTBs

Here's mine

I am curious about leveling my Rubi with the Mopar lift installed. I do have a full metal bumper with winch and so the front is 2.25" lower than the rear. I was thinking going with the Teraflex kit and doing the full 1.5" stack. That being said, the Teraflex kit comes with bump stops but the Mopar kit already has longer bump stops so do I just omit the Teraflex bump stops?

Also, I am assuming a level means adjustable control arms for geometry correction right? I'm sure such a small list would be fine but to do it technically correct the caster has to be kept within spec?

Since adding the lift and wheels/ tires, the side steps look and feel too small IMO

how are you able to shuttle bikes with that rack on?

Mopar lift with 1” Teraflex spacer

Are those the Rebel 5 Bronze with -12mm, if so do they stick out past the fenders much or nothing crazy? Contemplating these or Dirty Life 9303 DT-1 wheels. I like the Fuels because they are hub centric, but I am not sure that alone is enough to make me want these over the DT-1's. Thanks.

Spacer in the front? Looks perfectly lvl
