Ok I'm going to put a leveling kit on my 2 door rubicon. I will be adding 295 70 17 tires and wheels. I have a elite front winch bumper and winch that are pretty heavy but I don't know the actual weight. It does sag about 3/4 Inch i'n the front if I had to guess. Do you think I would be better off adding 2.5 pucks i'n the front rather than the 2'' pucks that come with the kit? I did search this but so many different answers I though I'd just ask

 

Easiest way to answer this would be to measure from a common point to see how much rake you have going with the bumper and winch. A leveling kit will usually give you 1" rear puck and 2" front puck to level it out - if your front is drooping more than that, you'll need to offset it by going to the 2.5" puck like you mentioned. Make sure you don't go too high up front or you'll end up with a reverse rake which is even worse.

 

Also remember that if you tow a trailer or load up the cargo area, the rear will sag causing negative rake. I used the leveling kit and came away with a slight front rake. Most people won't notice and I won't be staring uphill when loaded down.

I agree I don't want to end up with the front pointing i'n the air, but I want room for the 295 70 17 not to be cramped i'n the front.

 

Here's my JK with Teraflex Leveling Kit, 295/70/17's, and a massively heavy Warn front bumper.




And here is me testing out the flex with said setup.

 

your jeep looks awsome like that!!!! do you have the spring leveling kit or the spacers?

 

The spacer version. That way I was still able to later get even MORE lift with a set of JK Unlimited Rubicon springs...and it was cheaper than the coil version.

 

ah ha great idea!!!
