I bought a 2020 gladiator sport. It’s been determined that it’s a 2.5 rough country leveling kit on the front arms stock on the rear.
im wanting to go a little more. If I got a 3.5” lift, would it only com up 1 more inch in the front and 3.5bin the rear giving me that rake back?

If ya get rid of the rough country spacer lift and get a quality lift youll probably net a tiny bit more than the advertised number. For my clayton 3.5" i think i got like 4.25 or close to that, but its been 3 years now.

The level kit is a spring and strut. But yea. Going to go with something better. Not sure what yet.
my main concern is the rake.

Mine came with the Mopar 2" lift. I'd swear I netted much more than the 2". I'm on 37s as well. It still has a bit of a rake if that is what you're after. The lift suits me really well as my daily driver. Very comfortable ride.
I think the kit is reasonably affordable.

I’m trying to avoid rake.
I guess I can dial it better with spacers.

You won’t regret the @Clayton Off Road lifts, I did the 3.5 overland and am very happy with it. 37’s will be upcoming when there is a sale or new tires are needed. Currently on KO2 35’s.

Those KO2's look small what's the actual size of those tires?

All of the KO2’s run smaller than claimed size. I have had these on my Gladiator for the last 3 years and about 35,000 miles, so I am planning to finish them out before moving up to the 37’s which they claim measure 36.5. BFG measurements are probably accurate before the tire is mounted and has weight on it, but they also have the advantage of being relatively light weight. I know these 35’s look small now with the lift on, but I am waiting for a deal or need to replace before swapping them out.

Pictures of rear and front measurements as it sits at 34 PSI.

I would measure across the tore sideways to get the true height . Cause the bottom is pushed down by weight .

Op love your wheels. Clayton 2.5 front springs gave me about 3.25 to 3.5 inch lift with steel mopar bumper and skid plate. I put clayton 1.5' sprungs in the back to make it site level. But 35's look small on it now, definitely need to go to 37". I will try snd take pictures today.
So if you plan on keeping your 35" I would go with Clayton 1.5" up fron and maybe use Teraflex spacers in the back because you can stack them...

Very happy with my Clayton 2.5 RR lift and Bilstien shocks. Drives like a dream with 37” Toyo MT’s. Just did a 2K trip in it cruising at 80 mph.
