How did the 1.5” leveling kit work out for you?Replaced the 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers with 37's. Still the 2" Mopar lift, but I'm going to add the 1.5" leveling kit and a track bar next week. Enjoy.

I ordered daystar adjustable TB separately with the mopar lift. seems like everyone here needs it, I want to get it done all at once.No adjustment on the track bar, it is not adjustable. I did however order new front and rear adjustable track bars. Installing this weekend.
Thanks! so it was off by 7/8" of an inch and you did half (7/18") that adjustment on the TB? If stock is about 34.13", I should make the new tb longer by 0.4375" and go from there. This will be a good starting point and hopefully it's close enough so that I dont need any more adjustments.I did adjustable on the front and it took a about 7/16 inch Adjustment (7/8 overall). Rear is stock and within 1/16 of an inch....I can’t see a real reason to do the rear at this point.
Everyone will be Slightly different due to variables....you can adjust it after it hits the ground To see how much it needs. I would start an 1/8 to a 1/4” longer than stock.Thanks! so it was off by 7/8" of an inch and you did half (7/18") that adjustment on the TB?

Another thing to keep in mind s that with the added height of the spacers, you are removing down travel from the shock since it was designed for 1.5” less lift than you have currently. If the bumper drops your front by an inch, your trucks suspension will have more down travel which will help it “sink” over uneven road or bumps vs hopping over it because the shock has more down travel. That will definitely help the ride. If I had to guess, you are maxing out your down travel....and yes, it can affect the feel even on smaller stuff. If it fully extends, or comes close, you are going to have a rough ride. By weighing it down with the bumper, you are getting closer to the shocks design specs. Couple this with added caster, and that’s likely your issue.I get that now! But after following this thread for awhile and other threads. There is all this hype about the Mopar 2” with the teraflex or other spacers, but no real mention of horrible ride quality.
Which mud flaps are those? They look very similar to the Rally Armor flaps I fitted to my JL2” Mopar lift with 35” Falken tires.. new rims & tires in the spring

Greetings fellow Jeep enthusiasts!
Making one thread for all Gladiators w/ the Mopar 2” lift.
Please share details on your tire/wheels, as it may help others.
Here is one w/ the 2” Mopar lift kit and 35’s:
Finally got my lift and wheels/tires done! 2" Mopar with 1" terraflex front spacer with 37x12.5 Ridge Grapplers and 20" Black Rhino Arsenals.
Not nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It is definitely a bit sluggish, but I was way more fearful based off the claims everyone stated. However, I will say, I'm in south Florida so everything is flat here. No hills or mountains here. So I'm very content with it. I may regear in the future. I guess it also depends on what my MPG looks like once I'm done with this tank. As of right now, computer says I'm averaging 20 MPG. I'll hand calculate though of course to get a more accurate figure.Looks great! Im going a very similar approach with my gator sport, Mopar lift, .75" spacer front/rear, JKS trackbar, 17 Abrams and 37" Toyo.
How are the 37s and 373s?
