Great picture
Will definitely upgrade the rear brake lines.
Currently running 2 pucks in the front

the jeep is more of a fire road vehicle for me.

i take out the x3 for trails

That looks fun!
I would also check the available up travel of the front shocks vs the up travel of the bump stop spacer to the metal cup of the jounce bumper. You might need all 3 pucks. I’m running 2” of front puck with the Fox 3.5-4” shock, and the shock and jounce bumper are completely collapsed simultaneously.

I will check that

I think Fox kind of rushed their size classifications on their 2.0 shocks for the JT/JL a little bit. If they had waited or done more testing, the lengths might match spring heights and suspension travel a little better. As is, some of them are a little off compared to available travel, as well as to what the other shock companies are doing (mostly the rears). The collapsed length of their 3.5-4” shock matches well with 2” of bump stop spacer in the front. I believe the 4.5-6” front shocks require 3” of bump spacer.

So after driving around
And adding the
winch, maximus 3 tow loops and
Steel skid plate
I ended up at 40 1/2 front and 43 rear
So 2 1/2 inches of rake
That was with a
3 inch coil front and 2 inch coil rear

i ordered a 4 inch front coil to try and have less rake.

after installing, i now have
42 front. And 43 rear

i will see how much it settles
But so far its exactly what i was looking for.

Nice! Moving to 4”/2” spring combo is on my COVID stimulus wish list. How is your shock travel looking?

Gonna revive this, Synergy now has a 2" and a 3" complete lift kit for the JT.

I have herd by someone here that Synergy springs are made by Eibach, a top quality spring maker. Built to Synergy specs. Synergy is a softer more compliant suspension. When I go, synergy is on the top of the list, then Accutune for the Fox shocks.

I'll play... I just recently swapped my Clayton springs for Synergy and I'm much more pleased with the ride quality. I'm also carrying around 600lb constant load in the rear and the 3" Synergy springs are still giving me a 1/2" rake.

Question, are you running 3” front and rear?!
I’m looking to replace my springs but I don’t want any rake. Not sure if I should go 4” front with 3” rears or 3” front with 2” rears

Yes 3" front and rear. Synergy retains close to the OEM rake which is 1.5" I believe... don't quote me.

Here's a thread talking about removing the rake = https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/anyone-using-synergy-springs.30220/
