Something else to consider, is the Mopar longer control arms that come with their lift kit are only about 3/8" longer. Folks have reported up to 2.5-3" of lift, so with 1" or 1.5 in spacers may very well not require longer arms. The factory springs also tend to settle or sag fairly quickly. Not by much, but if you add a winch, as in my case, to get it back to stock it will only take 1" in the front. I didn't see where you indicated which model JT you have, but if you have a Rubicon or Mohave, you can run 35's without a lift.
I have the sport max tow so I’m building from scratch here lol

Ur pic said coil spring spacer adjustment kid so I asked cuz I had no idea
Oh no worries i didn't see that. The spacer is installed on the top of the spring and rests in the spring bucket. The Factory spring (Rubber) isolator fits below that, then the spring is reinstalled. Honestly, you can't even see it.

I had a lot of rake from factory with my 80AE Gladiator. I added the 1.5 Teraflex level to the front, Mopar LCA’s, and nothing to the rear.
I still have some rake, maybe 3/4, and I’m ok with that.
For reference, my tires are 34ā€.

I went with the TeraFlex leveling kit, and liked the look. Eventually upgraded the shocks and then added Toyo AT3's 35*11.5/17 tires. Love the new look and ride is so much better than it was before.

This is a 23 rubi w/ the full 1.5 on the front. I am on a *SLIGHT* incline in the 1st picture:

The following pictures are my rubicon next to a jeep on 35s, not sure on their lift setup:

I am dead nuts leveled front to rear, if there is any difference, it is small enough that rough measurements didn't catch anything. The directions and general consensus is you do not need a track bar, my scenario did not line up with this. Driver axle is about 3/4" pushed to the drivers side. Does not affect driving manners but just something to keep in mind.

This 2021 JTR had a leveling kit and 35s when I bought it.
I must be doing it all wrong because I had the front lift removed.

When I drove it 25 miles to an offroad tire place for a front end alignment
the steering wheel was crooked but it felt great.
There seemed to be no wander and the steering was very responsive.
After the alignment, the wander was back. Makes one wonder.

I have a Willy's, i put the terraflex 1.5" on the front first and measuring to the rock rail it was exactly level.... I actually wanted some rake and put the 3/4" daystar on the rear.

So 1.5" front should sit level.
My experience as well

There should be a before and after pic for those of us (like me) who are visually inclined.

The Teraflex kit comes with two pucks for each side on the front, a one inch puck, and a half-inch puck. They are stackable, and that's how I had them installed, both on the front, a total of 1.5 inches on both left and right. I think if looks pretty good, and it gives you a little extra room for larger tires if you're looking for that as well.

Before:

Jeep Gladiator Tera Flex level kit? Yes or no levelkit-before



After

Jeep Gladiator Tera Flex level kit? Yes or no levelkit-after



I have larger tires than this now, but the level is obvious.

Thanks!
Mine just seemed to have an excessive amount of rake from factory. Idk if that’s common for the 80AE or not. I don’t mind still having some as it does help in the rare event I haul anything.
