Metalcloack 2.5

[Rubsal70]

I have searched and found nothing. I bought the JT Gladiator 2.5" Leveling Suspension & Lift Kit. Since it doesn’t come with rear springs for a 2.5 lift where can i get some. Or do y’all normally leave it as is in the rear. Thanks

That's gonna be a level gladiator. Metal cloak rates their springs off of a JL in the front so you have to subtract about an inch to get actual lift. If you want more rake you can throw in a puck or you can grab icons 1.5 inch rear springs. I think eibach may also have a ~1.5 inch rear spring as well.

So what your saying is that if I wanted a lift of the rear to equate a 2.5 lift I need 1.5 springs ? Instead of 2.5 ? Please let me know. I’m new at this thanks

The metal cloak 2.5 level is actually a 1.5 inch lift on a Rubicon and makes the front level.

What are you trying to accomplish and what gladiator do you have? Are you looking for a 2.5 inch front lift or 2.5 inch rear lift? Do you want the truck to be level after the lift or are you trying to keep some rake or factory rake?

I have the Willys gladiator. I just wanted a lift for more clearance for off-roading. 35s. So I thought I could get 2.5 all round

As far as the rake not to sure what is best leveled or leaving it at the same rake. It’s a daily driver it’s for off-roading, going to the mountains in Colorado but no towing.

I believe the Willy's is based off the sport so if you want a trueish 2.5 in the rear I'd look at the icon or eibach springs that are 2.5 front 1.5 rear but it's off a Rubicon so it's more like a 3.5 front 2.5 rear for a sport. This will leave you mostly level.

You could also go Mopar which will be closer to 3 inches front and rear and keep factory rake or do some combo of synergy springs to either keep rake or level out.
