HELP!!! LIFT, LEVEL....BOTH?????

[Bluelinegladiator]

Ok so I have been reading as much as I can on this topic and seems there are more options out there than opinions on COVID. I know a lot of people have put the mopar lift on with a level kit in the front. Ultimately thats the "level look" I want with 37's. With that being said SEVERAL people have said stay away from the mopar lift because you are paying for the name and with already having the Rubicon the shocks are the same. Problem is people then go in a wide variety of options from spacers to all new arms etc. With budget in mind and the fact that I will NEVER be rock crawling, I need something for 90% road and 10% two tracks, dirt roads and sand dunes up at Silver Lake. Obviously budget wise I am trying to stay under what the Mopar set up would run.

I really like what AEV offers, both as a spacer kit ($440) and a full lift kit ($1700). What's your budget like in dollars? IDK what the mopar lift + spacers goes for these days. When/if I decide to lift mine, I'll probably do the AEV full kit. I don't know that I see the need for leveling it out yet.

I do not believe the Mopar lift and the JTR suspension are the same, FYI.

I personally went with the Rough Country 3.5" lift and 37s on my Rubi. I'm not a rock crawler (plus we live in FL) but my JTR does spend time off the pavement on our rural vacation property and in the surrounding area. Great deal for the price, and meets my needs. The ride feels about the same as stock. Just a matter of what's going to meet your needs/wants.

For your needs, why not just leave it alone?
If you don’t like the back end being a bit higher (it IS a truck, after all,) then buy a few sandbags and toss in the back to level it out.

Given your needs and the fact you want 37s with a leveled look, just get a teraflex leveling kit and the 37's and your done. Cheap and easy. No need to overcomplicate things. You will have the clearance you need between the leveling kit and the rubicon highline fenders. Can always go bigger later or add a small rear spacer if you want to bring the back up.
