No issues at all. I decided on the 3/4 to offset the weight of the winch and winch support plates in the bumper. I think it offsets it nicely without needing more. Hence it put the lift back where it should be after adding the winch stuff. I did also buy the 1.5" and decided not to use for exactly what you are asking.

Also to the OP, remember that Usethis83 has a Rubi and most people that have them only use a 3/4" in the front to level while the rest of us use a 1.5" mainly due to the higher fenders on the front of the Rubi.

Even though you didn't ask me but I am using what you opened the thread asking, I haven't had any alignment issues with mine after I took it to a specialty shop to unscrew what the dealer did.

I did use the daystar shock extensions mainly because they were already on the jeep for I was running a daystar 1.5" on the front and a .75 in the back "leveling kit" prior to adding the Mopar lift. When I added the Mopar lift I added a daystar adjustable trackball, the rancho geometry brackets, and I removed the .75 rear pucks.

At the time of adding the lift supply and demand was horrible and you couldn't hardly find adjustable trackbars and geometry brackets so I went with what I could and so far no regrets. Other than using the Dealer to install, but at the end they were fair and the compensated for me having to go to a specialty shop to readjust practically the whole suspension.

@Usethis83, very nice set up indeed and great color!!!!

Hey bud, fellow Alabamian here (also @jhataway ) ! Are you a gasser or diesel ? I think the diesel mopar lift is a little different than the gasser. I have the diesel and HAVE NOT installed my winch/winch plate yet and already have a rake. I need to install them to see if or how much sag I get. Most of the big boys that sale the leveling kits are telling me they are not compatible with the mopar lift, due to the design, Theystate it causes extreme bowing of the springs and make the JTRD ride really rough. Have you heard this ? or have you had any issues or any suggestions

Hey man, sorry for the delayed reply, I don't get on here too much anymore. I had a 3.6 in that gobi gladiator. So, I cant really say on the diesel. The mopar lift did come with spring correction pads and with my 3/4 spacer (which was negligible due to winch) the springs sat correctly.

I’ve got 1/2” Teraflex spacer up front with my mopar 2” lift. I’m a diesel. No issues, no spring bowing. With oem metal bumper and winch, I have some rake, not as much as factory, but I’m not perfectly level, either.

I think I might consider the Clayton Diesel spings... the 2.5" which give about a 3" lift but are supposed to be rated at a high lbs.... 216lbs, but I can find any good specs on the Mopar lift, especially the diesel to compare.

If Clayton had their diesel kit available a year ago, that’s what i would have purchased.

I reached out to them and they stated that thier springs were compatible with the Mopar lift, so I figured I would do the springs over stacking spacers.. just hate paying for something rwice... lol

Hey there, I have a question for you all. I have a 2021 JT Rubicon with the 2” Mopar lift and want to remove the rake it has. I measured the front and rear suspension height from the floor to the bottom center of the fender and wheel which was 42.5” for the front and 43.75” for the rear. I am also running 35x12.50R17s. I am considering getting the Teraflex 1.5” leveling kit but don’t know if I should run both the 1” and .5” spacers or just the 1”. I am also wondering if I should install the bump stops or not. I plan to install a Warn Evo 12S winch in the factory metal bumper some time next year and want to eliminate or keep the rake to a bare minimum. Any suggestions from those that have a Rubicon would be greatly appreciated.

Did bumper and winch also , added 1" spacer which was wrong and I knew it but had to try with mopar lift . Hated the ride reduced to 3/4" ,still hated the ride .The truck increased weight you need stronger springs to carry the weigh spacers don't increase load capacity .
