Question on rake

Yes, I think that would do what you want. Raise the front 1” or lower the rear with some 1” lift springs from Synergy or stock springs with a spacer.

rear spring measures about 16 inches, this is mopar stock number that I can see:

That’s the part # for the left, rear spring in the Mopar kit.

Any way to know for certain the amount lift for current spring?

Measure yours coil perch to coil perch as it sits level and compare to others.

Mine has 2.5” Clayton springs. If you care to know what that measurement is, I can get it.

I just measured, my front springs measure about 13 inches vs 16 for the back
what gives?

1. Not all lifts are created equal. Some are full featured and keep your steering and geometry where they should be - and others - like the Mopar or teraflex spacer pucks - do not. Your best bet it to get it into a reputable 4x4 shop and let them tell you what you got, and the best way to get it to where you want it. (Clayton comes to mind.....). I for SURE would want to know what was done and what wasn't if I bought a "lifted" jeep. A lift can cost anywhere from $150 to $8,000+. I'd want to know which end of the spectrum my Gladiator was sitting on so that I could plan accordingly.

2. Yes. Expect roughly 1/2 inch more "droop" on the front after you've installed your bumper and winch. Which will of course exasperate your rake "problem".


PS - ARGUABLY - Fox shocks are not necessarily an indicator of a well thought out lift. (Putting on my Flac jacket now..... :D :D)

If they ain't FOX 2.5 elite with resi or better. I wouldn't touch a fox shock with a 10 ft pole.
