I am wanting to do a simple 2" spacer lift...2020 JTR. I like the AEV kit as it appears to have absolutely everything needed, but I do not need the pro-cal snap, (and AEV is really really proud of the kit) so I'm looking at other options.
I think big things are bump stops, sway bar links, and shock extenders. Want to keep factory rake, i.e. no leveling. Any kits someone likes or has had good success with? I do know spacer vs suspension, etc...just wanting spacer lift at this time. Any help much appreciated!

I installed an Iron Rock 2 in spacer kit a few weeks ago. I includes 2 in metal spacers front and back with shock extensions.
I run it just as it comes, no additional bump stops as its only 2 inches, may add some later if I'm bottoming out the shock but so far I haven't, I'm not sure you really need them with 2 inches, so far so good. I'm happy with it.

If you don’t like any of the kits as they come you can piece things together to get exactly the parts you want.

2 inch spacers front and rear
2 inch shock extensions front and rear
2 inch bump stop extensions front and rear
Extended sway bar links front and rear

I would also add the Mopar lift kit front lower control arms for caster, they’re about $100 a set and will keep the wandering at speed down

From this point you can decide if you want to add an adjustable track bar later

Unless it's a Mojave that has a really good stock shock, shock extensions are pointless in my opinion. A set of rocksport shocks if you like a soft ride or Bilstein 5100s if you prefer a firmer ride for $400 with increased travel is worth every penny. The stock shocks have less than 6" of travel for non-rubicons and less than 8" for rubicons. The rock sports have almost 12" and the bilsteins have 10". 25-50% more travel and better dampening for a few hundred bucks is a no-brainer for me. Why anyone would spend money to retain factory short travel cheap shocks is beyond me.

I have a 2020 Gladiator with a Mopar 2” lift running 255/70R18 on +44 offset and I also use 1.5" wheel spacers. No rubbing issues
