Going from Plastic bumper to Smittybuilt XRC Stubby with X2O 10k Winch on the stock suspension I have noticed a little forward rake on the Rubicon. Kind of expected since the bumper is on the heavier side.

I will be adding a Mopar lift with the RK correctional pads, Rancho front and rear track bars as a starting point. However, I have a feeling that even with the lift, I will maintain the forward rake.

My question is if anyone had experience with the Mopar Lift correcting the forward rake, or were something like teraflex 1/2 front spring spacers used to help level out the jeep? I don't believe the Mopar lift is advertised as a leveling lift (could be wrong).

I appreciate some of the support I got about the Dynatrac lift and spacer questions from some of the members as well!

Cheers!

I used 1/2" spacers with the Mopar springs to get back some lift I lost after the winch and skids. The Mopar lift will stay the factory rake. It will settle in time but you'll get more than advertised, no matter which springs you go with. The majority of aftermarket springs build in to compensate for accessories.

Thanks! I am thinking 3/4” because the smittybuilt bumper is so heavy. It looks like I am squatting down slightly over that.
