I put 1000 miles on stock so far, and now I have a slight rake in front. I just received some 285/70R Toyo AT’s and 1.5 spacers..Just going to do a 1” front level..I will need to wait another week for that

Mine sits level and it's a 2021 Sport. Only time it does not is when I put three bikes on the back (which makes sense).

You are correct..I am having 1” level in the front, 2” rear, and slapping on 285’s..It will be slightly more aggressive stance than Rubicon without any changes to driveability.
I'm looking to go with the same tire size as you when the stock tires go.
What exact tire are you getting?
Is yours lifted or modified?
Any problems with clearance or turning (rubbing)?
Love to see pictures.
Thanks!

My stock Willys sat level when purchased (just a side note, my neighbors 4-door Willys has a noticeable amount of rake, stock). I added JLUR springs and there was noticeable rake. Added a 3/4 spacer to the front and all was well. Added a steel bumper and winch, rake was back. So, I swapped our the JLUR springs for JLURD springs, and I am back to stock rake (with a 2.5-inch lift for about $300).

Can anyone advise if the 2 Door Willys is all around level? Some say on the previous years the rear had more sag and the front had no rake..I am looking to do a small leveling kit install and put on 275/70R/17 tires,the way it should look out of factory.
My 2021 with little over 300 miles is up about 1/2" in the rear.It came with the BFG's.I was surprised it was a level as it is.

It's not the rake I notice, it's the side to side lean. My 2021 Willys lists a bit to the left. It's not especially troublesome, just a little irksome.

Sorry for the delay and these pics, but I am pleased with results..These tires are 285/70R17 Toyo Open Country..The spare tire barely fit on rear mount..My biggest regret is not getting a tow package..I plan on making 3 on the beach drives this year, and I need to lug 4 beach chairs, a cooler and a few other small items..little did I know you cannot attach a bike rack to spare tire like earlier models, due to Back up camera..I now need to look at some mods for that..no change I have seen in MPG drop..I did put 1.5 inch wheel spacers on..1 inch spacer lift for front only
