Ok my brain is now all over the place with raising my 2023 Rubicon for the 37" tires I just got. I don't do any rock crawling and just drive onroad and in bush to go camping and fishing. I went 37" because ....why not...lol. The stock 33" look so tiny on a Rubicon and was $200 cheaper for me to get 37" over the same 35" and read there is no issue with 37" on Rubicon if not doing rock crawling. So I bought a 1.5" Terraflex front spacer but now been thinking is there a way to add another 1" spacer or 2.5" in front and that means raising rear to match. What is main differences in adding say a 2" spacer vs just buying 2" longer springs? Can I buy 2" rear and say 3" longer front springs without adding shock brackets or links? Just want a bit more clearance than 1.5" level and don't care about losing full articulation cause probably won't do any rock crawling just off road bush riding dirt roads at most.
I'm confused when I see 2.5" level kits cause who the heck wants to raise front 2.5" if the back is staying same? Would have reverse rake

I had 2" AEV lift with 37's on my Rubicon. It was heavy (5780) and did fine.

No you will need add other parts to go any more than 1 1/2 inch lift on front I’m not sure about rear

Just put the 37" on the front and with stock suspension can drive around town no issues but if I turn full lock and go over a curb it rubs. Thinking g the 1.5" terraflex might not be enough to make me feel ok going through anything big while turning. If I went to a 2.5" spring lift would I gain more or still just math and would only gain 1" over a terraflex 1.5"?
