Sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find it anywhere. I was wondering if you could install the mopar lift without the rear spacers to end up with a more leveled look.

Yes, but I think the nose will be a bit higher than the rear. I'll measure mine after I get the front on, and before I do the rear. I'll post pics too.

I am leaving the rake on my truck, because I use it as a truck and there is nothing worse than a truck dragging it's butt when pulling a trailer ;)

Thanks for the quick reply. I had been reading about others installing leveling kits and I was thinking about this being another option vs a spacer or preload assembly.

It should not be nose high. It should be slightly nose down or level depending on the truck. It only provides a 2" lift. You can certainly go this route, even install the rear shocks and just leave the spring spacer and the rest of the components out of the rear.

On my truck it is nose high by 1/8" with just the front lift installed. 39" to fender up front, 38-7/8" to fender in rear.
I couldn't get a good picture today because I left the truck key at the house. Here's the best that I could do.

I'll be putting the rear on tomorrow.

I would say that is a rarity. Most trucks are taking 2.5" to level them out. Some a little more, some obviously a little less. All depends on the truck and how it is optioned.

I wonder if you put the Spring Seats on Upside Down on New Shocks... looks like you put 3" spacer on, wish mine was that Tall in front.

It depends where you measure for level. Just because the fender heights are the same doesn't mean it won't look nose high. The body work has a lot to do with hit and the fenders are not exactly the same front and back.

Would it be possible to make the 2” mopar lift more like using the ready lift or Rancho 3.5” lifts by combining parts? Say adding a spacer to the mopar kit? Or using the fox shocks from the mopar kit with the readylift or rancho 3.5” lift??

I've talked with my local offroad shop doing the install and they are researching it. Its sounds like it will work.
