Spring spacers

[EXXXchef]

I'm looking to level out my 23 Gladiator stock suspension. From what I've researched 1.5 in spacers is the way to go. Anyone know of this will work or any other suggestions? Thanks.

Yes they work great. I have a rubicon so I measured the back and front and 1 1/2 inch was perfect for me. Easy install

If you plan on installing a winch or other accessories to the front of the JT, do it first. I would also suggest to give your suspension time to settle before deciding on a set height of spacers.

Pretty common to add a 1.5" spacers to level the OEM suspension out. When I talked to my local shop they had Teraflex spacers. They come in a package with 1" & 0.5" spacers to stack. They said they start with the 1" to see how it sits and, if needed, add the other 0.5"

Over 2.5 years, the suspension on my 2020 didn't settle.
My 2022 rear is sitting exactly where it was 1 year ago. The front has settled but I've swapped springs twice and added weight over the last 12 months.

I went with the 1.5" Terra Flex on mine. I have a new steel bumper an a 12.5k Smitty Built winch and it sets level now. Super easy installation on the spacers.

It’s all i wanted on this Gladiator only a 1.5” spacer after adding bumper and winch. Wheels with 35’s still a little rake it’s just right.

It's a truck - a little rake is helpful if you load up the back with camping gear and beer - you won't be doing the Carolina Squat or the south side chicago dance or whatever it is.

We've various names for those vehicles we see driving around here headlights in the trees, ass dragging the ground, shocks bottomed out.

I decided long ago I don't want mine level - it's a TRUCK. I want to put stuff in it and not look like I'm coon hunting with my headlights (and using a light in the trees for coon hunting is illegal unless you have a hunting dog)

Yeah, that's why I mentioned to let it settle, especially if he was adding accessories since he was discussing the front. Everyone's mileage may vary, but most vendors I have spoken to recommend the same.

Yeah I’m the same way i pull my camper so that’s why i only went 1.5” with the added weight in front it’s good to go here is my camper hooked up before i put 35’s on.

I did the 1.5" Teraflex and came out very close to level, just a tiny bit of rake. Just about perfect in my book.

Basically a visual preference, but a lot of rake is uglier to me than squat, if I had to pick one.

A spacer won't change your suspension dynamics, so just go by visual preference.
