I have the MC 3.5 GC w/ their RockSports. Love the ride, articulation, and flex. But same here as to the actual amount of lift the MC 3.5 yields. At the very least, I will do a rear spacer but thinking of going 4 to 4 1/2 in springs all around. Has anybody done this? I hear that Clayton 3.5 springs yield significantly more lift - think I saw a post out on the MC owners FB where another guy went with EVO Mfg. 4 or 4.5 in plush ride springs. I have nothing in the bed but my spare 37 - when I can afford a rack and start in with additional gear, coolers, gas, water, etc.. I really wouldn't want it to sit any lower. Btw - I knew it would level the truck at time of purchase, but I don't mind a little rake. Are there any coils that will lift the JT the same at all 4 corners, or are they all like this because it's a truck vs. a JLU? Thanks.

Just a quick follow up. I haven't taken after measurements yet but here is how it looks with the Icon 1 3/8 spacers in the rear. I like the way it sits.

That looks spot on.. I just wish mine yielded a little more lift. I'm sure you've seen the posts where there's identical Gladiators sitting side by side. One with the Mopar 2 " and the other with the MC 3 1/2 " lift. Exact same height? Not sure what that's about. Everything else about this lift package I love tho.
