Default Leveling the new Rubicon.

What's the best way to level out the rake of the New Rubicon and maybe add a little to the rear without breaking the bank? Looking to make due for a bit until I can afford a more aggressive lift etc...

I used the 40.00 daystars. They were cheap and didn't require any extra parts. Not the best pic, but here ya go.

Welcome to the forum... The TF leveling kit is a great way to level and actually get some lift out of it too. Easy to put on and has everything you need. It's what I did to my Rubicon and I couldn't be happier.

I got mine from David at Northridge4X4!!

Thanks for the replies. I read the thread but still a bit confused on whether wheel spacers are needed if I'm going to use the Rubi's stock rims and tires for a while.

I'm getting ready to order this same kit (as soon as I get paid again).

So should I go ahead and get the "disconnect hardware" with it? I'm assuming this would be the hardware from the TF sway bar disconnect kit (that's normall $123 by itself), minus the end links since they're already included in the levelling kit?

You would need wheel spacers if you are going to use your stock Rubi wheels and buy larger, wider tires yes.

But with stock wheels AND tires, the spacers aren't necessary, correct? I was planning on buying the spacers when I finally bought new (33") tires.

Correct if you are JUST leveling your Jeep and keeping the wheels and tires you have, you DO NOT need spacers.
