I've searched here and didn't get a definitive answer. I am thinking about adding a 0.5" or 0.75" spacer to level my JTS out. It already has the Mopar 2" lift with the Fox shock installed and everything thing is fine, runs smooth down the road, no issues.
I talked with a couple suspension shops in town about leveling. Both didn't recommend it stating the the shocks were not engineered for that extra height.
I understand their reasoning, but that small of a spacer doesn't seem to be an issue but deferred to their expertise.
I'd like to check in with the members here that have done just this with the Mopar lift and what their results were short term and long term. Trying to get a definitive answer if one is possible.

Thanks

You can install the leveling spacers with your 2 inch Mopar lift. I'm sure many orther here have done the same. You won't have any issues whatsoever. I have the Mopar springs, but i went with the Falcon shocks. You should be fine.

When I had the MOPAR Lift onI did the .5 spacer being I did not care for it being completely level but not as much rake as just the MOPAR Kit alone. the .5 was just enough for my taste. My avatar pic is that set up

I went from a 0.75 inch spacer to 1.5 inch spacer on top of my Mopar 2 inch lift due to my front bumper and winch making the front sag more. A spring compressor definitely helped with install on both set ups and so far no issues. I had the 0.75 spacer on for over a year and now the 1.5 spacer for a month. The 1.5 spacer made my set up perfectly level. I only tow two things on occasion, my boat really wont make my truck squat any but my tractor likely will however it made my Ram TRX squat too.

Thanks. I won't be adding any additional weight to the front of mine. I'm keeping the stock plastic bumper. Just hoping to level it out.
