I’m running 1.5” TerraFlex spacers - factory steel bumper, 12K winch. Sits perfect on 37s.

I have the latest Mopar lift with a 1" spacer in the front and steel bumper. I'm very disappointed in the amount of rake that I still have.

Update on my diesel. I added a metal bumper and winch. I went to 1.5” spacer and still didn’t like it. The Mopar front springs don’t like the weight. I switched out my front springs to Clayton diesel springs and now I’m happy.

updated pic ? I might need to do something similar.. did it level you out ? How much rake did you have after the clayton springs ? Did you need to add an adjustable track bar ?

Which diesel springs from Clayton? 2.5, 3.5, or ?

I went with the Clayton 2.5” diesel front springs. I got rid of the spacers. The Clayton springs are stiffer and taller. I swapped them about a month ago so let me grab a pic and measurements today for you.

Looks like I’m running somewhere around 3/8 - 1/2” of rake.
The pic was right after the install. It settled a little from here. Pic makes it look high in the front but it isn’t.
