I know this has probably been covered, but I couldn't find the info I was looking for. I have a 2022 Gladiator Willys and want to take the "front rake" out. I just want to level the current ride height not raise the entire Jeep. Going to get rid of the MT tires and go with 285/70/17. Will just a front spacer work 3/4" or will I need to do something on the rear as well.

my Willy's, had a 1-1/2" rake, with jeeps, typically the lift (spacer or spring) is what you get in my experience. So to remove the rake, +1-1/2" in the front.... but with it being a truck, load it up and the squat willhave the rear lower than the front.

Our jku is level, but our jt still has the rake (I have utility trailer and often have stuff in the truck)

Willys do not come with fox shocks or rubicon suspension. That is fake news. I added the rubicon springs and shocks.

Willys has the red mopar shocks that come on Rubicon Wranglers. They are not the same shocks that come on Rubicon Gladiator’s, which are the Silver and red Fox shocks that literally say Rubicon on them. They are not the same.

Not that it makes a lick of difference to me either way, but I’m not seeing the “Wrangler“ shocks on any article I find…just a straight lift from Gladiator Rubicon package….

You can put all the screenshots you want from random websites, but it’s simply not true. I am also not sure what you are talking about when you say a straight lift from a Gladiator Rubicon package. The Willys does not come with a lift of any kind.

So im trying to understand something. What is the difference between the Willys and the willys sport?
When i run the VIN on my truck it says Willys sport. BUT the several of the options i have on mine are not available on the Willys sport. For example i have the 8.4" uconnect, cold weather package, premium sound system, parking sense, slec-trac 4wd, and also blind spot monitoring.
So please help me understand which one i actually have!! ?

Sport models (at least model year 2021 when I bought), came with the 5" Uconnect, no power windows or doors, basically a like a sport vs Sport s.
