Help!!- Leveling kit questions

[Ghosts40]

So I'm new to the Jeep Family, I bought a Sport S Gladiator. I purchased the teraflex 1" pick for the front to keep a little bit of rake. So my questions are....

Do I need bump stops/extensions for 1"?
Do I need new shocks or extensions?
I replaced the stock wheels from 17x7.5 to 17x9. Can I fit 33x12.50x17 with 1"puck?
Any help from veteran jeep owners would be greatly appreciated!

No, with that small of a lift you shouldn’t need anything really, and yes the 33’s should fit just fine as long as you don’t have some crazy offset. You may have to remove the little wind dam at the bumper but probably not since these will run 35’s with just a level.

Thanks for the answer. My offset is 4.73. running the 17x9 Helo 878

Now I'm contemplating the 1-1/2" level, does this change anything. And should I put bump stops if I do go 1-1/2 vs 1"?

No need for bump stops if you go 1 /2" up front. I installed the Daystar 1 1/2" front leveling kit and the Daystar 3/4" rear spacer in my previous Rubicon Gladiator and it was great. I will probably do this to my current Willys as well.

Good looking Willy's! So just out of curiosity why from the Rubicon Gladiator to a Willy's Gladiator?

The thing that drives me crazy is some people say one and a half inches does not level their Gladiator some people say it's not enough to level it and some people say it is too much. So after I bought my Gladiator I bought two sets of the rough country 3/4 in spacers and my original plan was to stack the two spacers. I called rough country after the fact and asked them if it was okay to stack two of their three quarter inch spacers. They told me it was not designed to be stacked and that they could not tell me to do it but he also said he thought it would be fine. So then I decided I was only going to go one inch so I bought the teraflex 1 in spacer only. So then I got the idea of stacking the 1-in teraflex spacer with a 3/4 in rough country spacer. They look like they set well together but from somebody else's opinion what are your thoughts?
