I’m installing RC leveling kit on my Max Tow Gladiator, I also have rubicon take off shock that we’re given to me. The lift comes with shock spacers. My question is with the stock rubi shocks do I need to use the spacers or does the Rubicon height difference make up for the difference, not needing the spacers. I also have 3/4 spacers for the rear if I need to.

Did the spacer kit come with bumpstops? If not, I wouldn’t use the extensions as you risk over compressing the shock.

I’d use the bumps and extensions. I just ran out to the garage to measure some Willys JT shocks I have. They came out to:

23 11/16 extended
15 3/4 compressed

Seems the Rubi’s are damn close in specs
