Best leveling kit or 2 inch lift for Gladiator

Looking for the best option for a leveling kit or 2 inch lift options. Main goal is to fit 33 inch tires, carry gear and weight of a bed topper. Added front weight of a winch. I mainly stay on forest roads and rutted roads when off road. Trying to keep the price under $1500. Any shared experience's on the mopar products and what not to do.
Thanks.
 
Depending on vintage of your truck if you have the dealer install the Mopar lift it will become part of your truck's warranty. Be sure to fuss to keep the cool Jeep wooden crate the kit comes in. If nothing else they are worth some money used.

One downside is they don't come with an adjustable trackbar. Which until I tell you that the axle will be very slightly not centered under the truck you probably wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. Try to supply that yourself if it bothers you, check with the dealer first to see if they want to get weird about it before you commit to anything.

Do get an alignment afterwards. We had a group of Jeeps come into the dealer that had a lift party where they all lifted their Jeeps before going out to Moab. Driving around town everything worked fine, they got out on the highway and after awhile they all lost cruise control. Their uncentered steer wheels tripped an error... so we had four walk in alignments that day because they didn't want to drive from SW Iowa to Moab without cruise.

there are several rubicon take of springs and shocks available near me. Looking at that option as well. I have the sport S model. Would you suggest track bars with the rubicon springs?

I don't think they are really required either way. I would research and see if they are the same as what you have.

If they are not the same then whoever you get springs/shocks from may have a trackbar or two as well.
