Anyone with the diesel Mopar lift kit add a spacer up front? 1” or 1.5”??
Looking to “level” the truck, but not do this twice to get things right. :)

Great opportunity for anyone who wants to post photos of their Jeep ????

1" front coil spacer added to the Mopar Diesel lift should level it if you don't carry a lot of weight in back. I have the Mopar Diesel lift on my Rubicon and added the 1.5" Teraflex spacers to the front and later added a .5" spacer to the rear along with Timbren suspension enhancement bump stops when I purchased our 3500lb tow behind Camper and do not need a WDH. The attached picture was taken after the .5" rear spacer was added, I do not have a front winch installed.

What brand spacers ?
Did they change the ride at all ?

Im happy with the way my JTRD w/Mopar lift rides now, but I have wanted to level it out since I've owned it, but have been worried that spacers would change the ride or cause negative issues.

What was your experience ?

I only had the JT about a week before the dealer installed the Teraflex 1.5" front spacers with the Mopar Diesel lift so I don't know what impact they have on the ride alone, but combined the ride was stiffer than stock. I waited on installing the .5" rear Teraflex spacers to see how much the front suspension settled with the Diesel being heavier than the gasser, a few months later it did settle about .25" so I added the rear spacers mainly because I purchased a Trailer that was heavier than I wanted. With the added height I added a JKS adjustable front track bar, Teraflex sport fixed lower front control arms, Synergy adjustable upper front control arms and set the caster to 6 degrees, I also installed a 1" Spicer rear carrier bearing spacer and purchased an Adam's 1350 front drive shaft that will be installed soon and I'm shopping around for new shocks as the FOX shocks that came with the kit are not suitable. My JT is set up for towing up to a 3800lb loaded Camper off road with no WDH and drive on the interstate towing @ 70 miles an hour one handed and not worry about passing semi's. I've attached a photo that the salesman sent me when service completed the lift with the front spacers only.
