I recent purchased a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Sport S and I’m looking to add a little bit of lift. I’m looking into 2 options currently:

1) Rubicon Suspension Takeoffs
or
2) 2.5 Inch Rough Country Spacer Lift

As for the Rubicon Takeoffs, I would also want to add a bit of a leveling kit (1”-1.5”) to the front and maybe 0.5”-0.75” spacer to the back. Could someone explain to me how adding an extra leveling kit to the Rubicon Takeoffs would work and a recommendation for the level. Would it make more sense to just get the 2.5” leveling kit instead of messing with the Rubicon takeoffs and making sure that everything will fit?

Spacer's sit on top of the coils.
Rubicon suspension gets confusing depending on the options on the Rubicon and engine choice.

Here is mine with the stiffest gasser Rubicon front springs, max tow rear springs and the 1" front spacer from the Teraflex kit. Netted about 1 3/4".

Top pics are stock suspension with 285/70-17 tires. Bottom pics are with everything installed.

If I had it to do over again I'd probably just go with a good 2" spacer lift with 2" over shocks and call it a day. AEV and Iron Rock Offroad are much better options than Rough Country.

I love your truck so you wouldn't install the rubicon springs if you had to do it again?
